Metaphor: ReFantazio's world is built on the diversity of its people, both in its tribes and ideologies. This diversity and the incongruous way that Euchronia's people are treated plays a crucial hand in Metaphor's Tournament for the Throne, tying into the party's very foundations. As the protagonist allies with members of the seven tribes beyond his own, the understanding of their different backgrounds helps pave the way for his role as king. This conceit extends to his immediate followers, who fulfill social link-esque roles along his journey while further demonstrating the societal disparities of the Kingdom's hierarchies. Beyond the purview of the protagonist's direct allies, however, lies a host of other side characters that make Euchronia feel lived in, flaws and all.
