A local cafe in Indonesia is turning itself into a Metaphor: ReFantazio cafe from September 30 to October 13, 2024, in anticipation of the upcoming RPG’s release.

Studio Zero’s title is coming to PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam on October 11, and what better way to amp up the excitement for the Indonesian audience than by collaborating with a cafe in Jakarta.

The Milou Farm House at Grand Indonesia Mall will be offering a limited-time menu, as well as special activities to hype the launch of the title. It’s as if the cafe has been turned into a real-life Metaphor: ReFantazio cafe, which will operate from September 30 to October 13, 2024.

The cafe will include a demo corner so visitors can try the game for themselves. There is also a card flip mini game, where players must match a pair of cards so they can keep the other as a prize. This giveaway contest is available every weekend for the duration of the collaboration.

Moreover, cosplayers like Larissa Rochefort and Clausie will appear at the cafe for a meet and greet. That’s another gimmick to look forward to if you’re into the genre. The full list of influencers and meet and greet schedule will be announced at a later date.

Metaphor: ReFantazio

Metaphor: ReFantazio is set in the United Kingdom of Euchronia. Here, the assassination of the king brings chaos and unrest to everyone. Then, one day, magic known only to the king as Royal Magic is invoked, and the world becomes embroiled in a royal tournament for the throne.

Amidst all this, a protagonist boy from the Elda tribe and his fairy partner Galica must find a way to break the curse that has been placed on the prince who was previously believed to be dead. This is where the duo discovers that they must participate in the tournament for the throne to achieve their goal.

Along the way, Elda and Galica will meet many allies from different tribes, including Stohl, Hulkenberg, Heismay. They will aid the protagonists in their journey to break the curse.

For its gameplay, Metaphor: ReFantazio is utilizing the Archetype system — the game’s heart and soul. For an in-depth look at the 14 lineages and over 40 Archetypes, watch the ATLUS showcase here.

The Archetypes’ power grants players unparalleled freedom in swapping character classes. To succeed in battle, players must make the most out of their Archetypes.

At the beginning of the game, players may access the Knight and Healer archetypes. These can gain experience through battle and acquire various skills. Moreover, each archetype has abilities unique to them.

Once the archetype reaches a level high enough, they can take on a more powerful form, a.k.a. Advanced Archetypes. In the process, players must also recruit loyal followers to assemble a powerful team.
