All Followers in Metaphor: ReFantazio and How to Get Them
There are a total of 14 Followers available to you in Metaphor: ReFantazio. Some of their bonds will rank up automatically as you progress through the story, while others require you to actively spend time with them. Listed below are all 14 of them, as well as how to unlock them.
| Follower | How to Unlock |
|---|---|
| Gallica | Unlocked automatically through the story. Her Follower bond will also rank up automatically as you progress. |
| Strohl | Unlocked automatically through the story when you go on your very first mission. |
| Hulkenberg | Unlocked automatically through the story right before you take on the Grand Cathedral dungeon proper. |

There are only eight bond ranks for each Follower, presumably to make up for the shorter amount of time you have to get through all of the main story quests as opposed to Persona. However, time management is still a key part of the game, and you do need to plan your time carefully to ensure that you get everyone’s bond ranks as high as possible.
How to Spend Time With Followers
All your Followers can be found somewhere in the world of Euchronia, and you can just walk up to them manually and speak with them. However, there’s an easier way.
Press left on the d-pad to bring up your full Followers list, then select the one you want to spend time with and you’ll get teleported to their location immediately. Do note that your Followers won’t always want to spend time with you; every now and then, you may hit a roadblock where you need to either complete a request for them or level up your Royal Virtues further. Once you’ve met the requirements, the game will let you know when they’re ready to hang out with you again, or you can check your Follower list and look for the little yellow arrow up icon next to their portraits.
And that’s how to unlock all Followers in Metaphor: ReFantazio. Be sure to search up The Escapist for more tips and information on the game. We’ve also got a complete walkthrough hub here for easier navigation.
