Don't Sweat Metaphor: ReFantazio's Borrowed Persona Calender System

Metaphor: ReFantazio is out imminently, available on PS5 and PS4 on 11th October. Persona fans will quickly recognise that the series' iconic calendar system has returned. Still, new players and Atlus veterans alike can rest easy, comforted by the knowledge that nothing in the game is missable.

Speaking to Quest Daily (thanks, GamesRadar+), director Katsura Hashino allayed our fears: "We didn't want players to feel limited by time. You can return later to places you've visited using a fast travel system to do everything you want without feeling rushed."

Expounding, Hashino describes why the epic fantasy spin-off enjoys such universal acclaim, outlining just a few things players can look forward to doing to pass the time: "You could be milking an animal in one place or bungee jumping in another. There's a wide variety of things to do."
