Following the latest information drop for the upcoming Atlus fantasy RPG Metaphor: ReFantazio, an official Q&A was held on the Metaphor: Stalker Club Final live stream in Japanese.

There are a few notable responses here, revealing that the cast’s costumes may change at select points throughout the story and that the main character has no canon name.

The most substantial reveal, though, is that Metaphor: ReFantazio will not have romance in its relationship system, notably regarding the Followers.

While journeying, the protagonist will meet new characters called Followers and create new bonds as they interact by sensing the heroic image within them and gaining access to new Archetypes. It’s up to the player to decide which of these Followers to interact with.

This doesn’t dismiss the possibility of romance in the main story. Still, the lack of its presence in this relationship system sets the title apart from the likes of Persona’s Social Link system.

Thanks to Persona Central for sharing this news.

You don't need romance for a harem.

That's true, although I wouldn't have minded romancing this character in particular.

Her or the red head elf, which is how Atlus got me in the first place.

Straight to fucking then? Japanese devs paving the way again.

 

[graywolf323]

so the game where the main cast is adults won’t have romance unlike the teenager focused Persona? seems like a bit of an odd choice

It seems the “bonding” is about getting support for their election campaign for next king.

The hand shake kind of made that obvious.

I'm actually really happy about that. Doing something that literally 100% of games with a bond system don't do.

As long it doesn't have the usual anime "They are my friends, but I grope them every morning, and every girls secretly or transparently want my dick" fucking garbage, I will totally play this game.
