Initiating a new bond in Metaphor: ReFantazio.

Followers is a major mechanic in Metaphor: ReFantazio that involves the protagonist forging bonds with various individuals to unlock and strengthen the power of respective Archetypes and abilities. It is a descendant of the Social Link and Confidant mechanics of the modern Persona series.

Role[]

Much like the Persona 5 protagonist's Confidants, the bonds with Will's Followers offer tangible bonuses in combat and other faucets of the game, though unlike the Persona series, bond ranks are capped at Rank 8, not 10. By default, starting any of the Follower bonds grants the "[X] Archetype" perk, which allowa the protagonist and his party the ability to unlock their respective Archetypes for their own use in Akademeia.

Progression with Follower bonds is also one of two requirements to make Archetypes evolve into their stronger forms, the other being that they have reached Rank 20.
