Players control the Protagonist, who's the up-and-coming savior of the land of Euchronia in Metaphor ReFantazio. Unlike other followers who play a particular role in the overall squad unit, i.e. offense or defense, the Protagonist can rock a much wider range of builds. The build diversity actually works in his favor, as different players have different playstyles, and they can use any combination of equipment and skills to play as the main character in their own style.
