The podium (演説台, Enzetsu-dai)? is an activity in Metaphor: ReFantazio.
Profile[]
After solving the mystery of the kidnappings in Martira, the podium is available for use throughout the United Kingdom of Euchronia at any time after that, including Royal Capital Grand Trad.[citation needed]
Taking on the podium to make a speech will require the protagonist wins the audience's heart, which is determined by giving the correct dialogue option. There are multiple randomly-selected events (either 2 or 3 depending on the location) that require a different correct option. Though they are randomly selected, presumably, the first time when interacting with a podium in an individual location will always start with the first (leftmost) event listed, before rolling randomly from then on.
The activity rewards coins of the Eloquence Royal Virtue, as well as money, and the quantity of both increase with every location with the exception of Grand Trad. However, giving an incorrect dialogue response will result in being rewarded with one less coin of Eloquence and no monetary compensation.

In certain locations and on certain days of the week, a candidate for the Tournament of the Throne will be on the podium, and instead the protagonist will only be able to debate them. They only appear until the deadline that leads to the departure for the next location, and can only be debated once.
The dialogue choices function similar to regular speeches, and while the rewards function similarly, the protagonist will always gain a coin of Imagination in addition.
