Metaphor: ReFantazio Party Member Recruitment Guide: A Detailed Timeline
Beyond the protagonist, seven companions will join your adventuring party in Metaphor: ReFantazio, each contributing unique combat abilities. While Gallica is present from the outset, her combat participation is limited initially.
Spoiler Warning: This guide reveals the specific days each party member joins. Reading ahead may spoil certain plot points.
Each party member awakens to a unique Archetype, usable by any party member once unlocked. Early recruits may be initially AI-controlled before gaining full player control upon Archetype awakening.
Party Member Recruitment Schedule:
-
Strohl (Warrior): Joins on June 5th (6/5) during the Border Fort events. Awakens and becomes fully controllable on June 6th (6/6) at the Nord Mines.
-
Grius: Joins after the Border Fort events, but becomes a controllable party member on June 6th (6/6), after Strohl's awakening. Note: Grius does not undergo an Archetype awakening in the same manner as others.

Her Bond quest, however, only becomes available after this deadline.
