How to unlock Royal Archetypes in Metaphor ReFantazio

Metaphor: ReFantazio includes Archetypes as an equivalent to a job or class system and eventually - for story reasons - Royal Archetypes are unlocked.

Archetypes in Metaphor: ReFantazio initially take the form of stereotypical classes like Healer, Warrior, or Thief, but by levelling up Archetypes in battle new forms are unlocked. Learning new Archetypes often requires reaching a specific rank in one or more Archetypes, as well as reaching a relationship level with a certain character.

Royal Archetypes are unique to each character and often need two or three previous Archetypes to be mastered. While characters are generally best suited to some Archetypes over others, knowledge of the Royal Archetypes in advance can provide a shortcut to which Archetypes to focus on levelling as a priority. To help you get the best character builds possible, we've listed how to unlock the Royal Archetypes in Metaphor: ReFantazio below.
