    Metaphor: ReFantazio All Tribes in Euchronia Guide

    From an Elda to a Paripus.

    Published:

    Metaphor: ReFantazio is filled to the brim with elaborate worldbuilding. ATLUS have created an entire world filled with unique locales, lore, and different tribes. When first playing ReFantazio, it may be hard to keep track of the countless terms that are thrown around. Here’s an overview of the different tribes in Metaphor: ReFantazio, courtesy of the game’s memorandum.

    Metaphor: ReFantazio Tribes

    Elda

    The Elda tribe is one that the protagonist himself is a part of. They are described as follows: “The ninth tribe, distinct from the commonly known eight tribes, they are condemned by the Sanctist Church for inheriting a dangerous magic heretical to the teachings of the Church”. Their population is so small that to even see one in public is rare, and they face greater discrimination than any other tribe. In fact, many outside the main cities don’t believe they exist.”

    Clemar

    “The clemar tribe composes the largest population in all the allied kingdoms. Their most distinctive features are the horns which grow on both sides of their head.
    Clemars have a broad diversity of facial and body types, which has essentially made them average. The Euchronian royal family are clemar, and members of this tribe hold a majority of important positions within the government, leading many clemars to internalise the belief that they are the kingdom’s most preeminent tribe.”

    Roussainte

    The Roussainte tribe is one that Hulkenburg, one of the game’s party members, is a part of. They are described as “one of the most populous tribes of the united kingdoms, second only to the clemar. Long, pointed ears are their most distinguishing feature. They often boast excellent physiques, which has given them superior martial prowess. Roussainte women are stronger than most men of other tribes. Many inevitably work in the military and often hold key offices. They are considered as influential as the clemar, and the two tribes are sometimes called the ‘prevailing tribes.'”

    Paripus

    “A tribe recognisable by bestial ears and a tail. There are many variations in their hair and skin colours, including cold-coloured skin not seen in other tribes. They are physically adept and often honest with their emotions, giving them a reputation for hedonism, for better or for worse. They are drawnto parties and festivities, and while this happy-go-lucky charm is often to their credit, it can also be seen as recklessness.”

    Rhoag

    “A tribe whose members have longer lifespans, some living more than twice as long the average of other tribes. They age at the same pace until adolescence, spending the remainder of their lives in middle and old age. Perhaps as a result, the rhoag tribe conjures images of the elderly in many minds.”

    Mustari

    “A tribe recognisable by a third eye. They don masks and wear culturally significant attire, which many among the other tribes find unsettling. Though their population isn’t necessarily low in number, the mustari are hard to come by, as most live in the Virga Island archipelago. As they believe in a unique faith, they are often targets of persecution outside of the island, denounced as ‘pagans’.”

    Halfblood

    “Children born to parents of disparate tribes. Halfbloods often inherit physical attributes of both tribes, as evidenced by Zorba and Maria. While it is theoretically possible for any of the tribes to bear offspring together, conceiving a child between differing tribes is less viable than within the same tribe, therefore they are few in number. Even in metropolitan areas with diverse populations, those with mixed heritages are rarely to be seen.”

    Metaphor: ReFantazio is available now for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Windows (Microsoft Store). Final Weapon had the opportunity to play and preview Metaphor: ReFantazio at Summer Game Fest 2024, with exclusive footage on our official YouTube channel.
