Metaphor: ReFantazio innovates by removing the romance mechanic, allowing a more authentic representation of relationships that deepen character development and narrative complexity.
The absence of a romance component allows Metaphor to create fully realized characters, like Eupha, who have their own goals independent of the protagonist's journey.
Utilizing connections with NPCs without the romantic overlay not only enriches the storyline but also combats past criticisms of superficial characterizations found in the Persona series.
By focusing on friendships and character bonds, Metaphor: ReFantazio encourages players to engage with the world in a way that values each character's individuality.
