Party Members Joining Schedule in Metaphor: ReFantazio
As the narrative progresses, each party member will awaken to their unique Archetype. This mechanism not only enriches gameplay but also allows any member to harness the abilities of others once they awaken. Initially, players may find that a few companions join the party without being directly controllable. However, subsequent members will fully inaugurate their Archetypes just before becoming active participants in combat.
Storhl – Warrior
Strohl is the first ally to join your quest on June 5th during events at the Border Fort. Notably, he will not awaken to his Archetype until the following day, June 6th, within the Nord Mines, during which time he will be controlled by AI.
Grieves
Following the Border Fort, Grius becomes a party member but will not actively engage in battles until June 6th. Once Strohl has completed his awakening, players can utilize Grius’s Archetype and integrate him into the team, although he will not experience an awakening like the other characters.
Hulkenberg – Knight
Hulkenberg makes her first appearance on June 10th. She will officially join the party and awaken to her Archetype during a boss encounter on June 11th.
Heismay – Thief
Your first encounter with Heismay will take place during your free time in Martira, predominantly following a linear path. Players will witness Heismay’s awakening on July 4th as they enter the town’s main dungeon, paving the way for his addition to the party.
Junah – Masked Dancer
Junah is another recurring character, but her participation in the party occurs subsequently, upon her awakening on August 13th.
Eupha – Summoner
The timeline for Eupha’s entry into your team is more flexible. During your free time on Viraga Island, between August 19th and September 4th, players can complete the Dragon Temple Dungeon. Eupha joins the party as soon as you finish this dungeon, ready to face the final boss. However, note that her Bond can only be developed after this window closes.
Basilio – Berserker
Basilio will undergo his awakening and formally join the party on September 11th during the events of Saint’s Day, although players will not be able to utilize him in combat until the following day.
