During the stream, Studio Zero director Katsura Hashino introduced viewers to the various candidates vying for kingly power in the Royal Tournament.
The VOD can be found here, via their official Youtube channel.
The protagonist, who is also in the Royal Tournament, begins his journey at the bottom of the social order – not the kind of person that anyone would expect to be king. Hashino-san explained some of the ways that the protagonist can increase his popularity among the public to compete with his powerful and influential rivals.
Key to the journey is the multiple followers introduced, who support the protagonist’s efforts to build influence. In addition, Hashino-san described the social bonds the protagonist will build with these supporters and how deepening these bonds will evolve archetypes and upgrade abilities among other things.
The next scheduled livestream will explore the daily life activities that players can look forward to in Metaphor: ReFantazio.
