Metaphor: ReFantazio's 600-Page Strategy Guide Is Available At Amazon
Published by Future Press on April 22, the official guidebook looks like a comprehensive reference manual and a cool collectible.
Metaphor: ReFantazio fans can finally add the official strategy guide to their shelves. Originally announced last December with a February release date, the nearly 600-page hardcover book was quietly delayed to late April by publisher Future Press. The comprehensive guidebook retails for $55.

Metaphor: ReFantazio's massive 592-page guide sounds like both a cool collectible for Atlus fans and a comprehensive compendium of everything you could possibly want to know about the game.
Along with a complete walkthrough designed so that you see and do everything, the guidebook has multiple catalogs of useful information to pore over:
- Archetype Encyclopedia: An exhaustive section covering all skills, Synthesis attacks, and inheritance options.
- Equipment catalog: All items and equipment are included in a section designed to be used as a quick reference sheet.
- Bestiary: Every enemy in the game is chronicled with in-depth stats, including strengths and weaknesses, item drop rates, and other pertinent details.
- Dialogue trees: All of the choice-based dialogue and actions made in the game are outlined to help you form bonds with characters based on your personal preferences.
- Appendices: For those who want true 100% completion, this section contains the full Memorandum, has New Game+ details, an achievements and trophies guide, and a build guide to help you be as prepared as possible for Metaphor's toughest challenges.
It also comes with a poster-sized map of Euchronia that's an exact replica of the in-game map.

More Future Press Guidebooks
If you're interested in Metaphor's strategy guide, you may want to pick it up sooner rather than later. Future Press is also the publisher of Elden Ring's Books of Knowledge, a three-part guidebook series that is often difficult to find in stock, especially the first two volumes. Elden Ring fans can pick up Volume 3, which focuses on Shadow of the Erdtree, for $37.81 (was $45).
Future also re-released its popular Bloodborne guides last October as one 744-page tome covering the base game and DLC. In April of last year, the Dark Souls Trilogy Compendium was reprinted to celebrate Future's 25th anniversary. Unfortunately, this one is currently sold out at major retailers. Amazon also recently ran out of copies of the Armored Core 6 Pilot's Manual--a very useful resource for the newest Armored Core game, which is arguably more complex than any Souls game or Elden Ring.
