Metaphor: ReFantazio's combat is as robust as one might expect of a battle system with little constraints on its classes. Excluding the Royal Archetypes, Metaphor's party is free to wield the Power of Kings at their choosing, allowing for a multitude of strategic plays that make the title's fearsome enemies far less daunting to the prince and his retinue. Aiding in this versatility is Metaphor's approach to gear, its equipment sharing clear parallels to modern Persona's own, though branching a step forward through the sheer weight of its offerings. Like P5, Metaphor's armor and weaponry isn't just a numbers game, made clearer through the purification system of St. Fermis' Church, allowing the potential of equipment to be tapped further.
