Metaphor: ReFantazio has an in-game calendar that will have players juggling their free time while also trying to clear the main dungeons of each town they visit. While there are many things to do in each of the main cities, players will also spend a lot of time on the Gauntlet Runner as it travels back and forth.

Time spent on the Gauntlet Runner is crucial, as many of those activities can only be completed while the Runner is traveling. Here are all the things players can do on the Gauntlet Runner, both during the day and night.
