Reading books in the Gauntlet Runner functions as a combination of the book reading and class mechanics from Atlus’ Persona series. Reading a book will increase your Royal Virtue stats, but you will first have to answer a question about the passage you just read. After reading a book three times, it will be completed and you’ll obtain a second stat boost. It is heavily recommended you read all the books you have as not only will you earn an achievement, but several of the game’sFollowersrequire you to raise your Royal Virtues to a certain level.
How to Obtain Books
Unlike in Persona, the player will not be able to visit a bookstore to manually obtain books in Metaphor: ReFantazio. Instead, you’ll obtain most of your books when a new party member joins the team. Your cue that a new book has been added to your shelf will come from Gallica, who will mention that your newest party member has brought along a book with them as you walk around theGauntlet Runner.
However, there is one book which is not obtained via this method: The Magical Future. This book can only be obtained by talking to your rival candidate Julian at the Angler’s Inn Square in BrilehavenBEFOREthe third dungeon’s deadline on8/13. If you do not obtain this book from Julian before that date, you will be unable to earn the Bookworm achievement.
All Correct Book Answers
Once you’ve obtained a book and begun reading it, Gallica will quiz you about the chapter you have just read. While you will still gain a stat boost for answering incorrectly, it will be reduced from the optimal stat boost for correct answers. The questions will be asked in the same order with the same prompts in each playthrough of the game. Here are the correct answers to each book in Metaphor: ReFantazio.
