Metaphor: ReFantazio will take many players at least sixty hours to compete, with that number shooting up higher depending on how much side content you choose to engage with. Being defeated in battle can lead to a game over and send you back to your most recent save, which can accidentally have you lose a lot of progress unless you're saving often.
Between the basic save feature and the autosave system, it's important to understand how it all works so you know exactly where you're loading up a save. Here's how to save and where you're able to save in Metaphor: ReFantazio.
Metaphor: ReFantazio - How To Check & Clear Bad Weather
Bad Weather can make a trip into a dungeon much more difficult than usual in Metaphor: ReFantazio; here's how to check and clear bad weather.
How To Save In Metaphor: ReFantazio
To save, go to the main menu and scroll to the bottom, System. From there, the second option from the top is save, which lets you open up the list of all save files and choose which one to save over. You can also jump to the save menu anytime outside of a dungeon using the following hotkeys based on your system:
- Playstation - Up on the D-Pad
- PC - 2
- Xbox - Up on the D-Pad
This game also has an autosave feature which will only use the autosave save file, not righting over any manual save files you've created, with there being 15 slots in total. Autosaving is indicated in the bottom left of the screen and is triggered by using free time, completing actions, or picking up items. The recent autosave file will always be overwritten, so it's important to manually save whenever you want to make a more concrete save file.
Metaphor: ReFantazio - Maximum Party Size
Metaphor: ReFantazio has many party members who will join the protagonist during his journey; here's exactly how many you'll get to choose between.
Where Can You Save In Metaphor: ReFantazio
While in a city or on the Gauntlet Runner, you can save anytime outside of a conversation, both during the day and at night. While you can't manually save inside a dungeon, you can save in the room before entering the dungeon. You can also find More's cat Plateau who will give you the option to save further in a dungeon. Longer story-related dungeons also have Magla Hollows, which act as safe rooms and also let you manually save the game.
Can You Save In A Dungeon In Metaphor: ReFantazio
While you can't manually save in a dungeon, the autosave feature does work in a dungeon. Whenever you pick up an item, like Blessed Water, or interact with a door or chest in a dungeon, the game will autosave. When you reload the autosave, picked up items that triggered the autosave will still be there, meaning you can pick up the same item again in a few minutes to create a new autosave. Dropped items can be used as pseudo-save points to help you try out different tactics on a difficult enemy or go and level up before trying a fight again.
