Metaphor: ReFantazio | Follower Guide – Gallica

Metaphor: ReFantazio is out, and it's amazing, and the game inherits or otherwise builds on many mechanics from Persona and SMT. One such mechanic is the companion system, or as the game calls it, Followers. Followers are your natural companions, who you fight and spend time with, and who let you give some benefits for doing so. In this guide, you will get an overview of the first follower, Gallica. 

Gallica is one of the first followers you unlock; she is basically there from the start of the game. She is tied heavily to the main story, which means that her dialogue options don’t really matter. Similarly, her progression is also tied to the main story. Gallica is a quirky fairy that doesn’t directly participate in combat, either.

Gallica Rank Progression & Rewards

• Rank 1: Gallica starts with the Mage Archetype, unlocking it for your party
• Rank 2: She automatically ranks up on 06/11, unlocking the abilities of Mage Enlightenment and Followers’ Echoes. Mage Enlightenment reduces the MAG cost of studying the Mage Lineage and Followers’ Echoes, which lets you listen to them regardless of distance from them.
