Metaphor: ReFantazio: 10 Coolest Locations, Ranked

As a seasoned traveler who has traversed the vast expanse of Euchronia, I can confidently say that each of these cities offers an unparalleled experience like no other.


One essential aspect of a well-planned journey by car involves capturing memorable images of the intriguing landscapes and attractions encountered along the way, while also strengthening relationships with fellow travelers.

Since exploring various locations plays a significant role in the tale of Metaphor: ReFantazio, it’s only fitting that there are plenty of captivating landmarks to marvel at along the way.

Of course, you won’t be able to snap a photo, but thanks to Neuras’ skillful touch, you’ll get a drawing that you can admire and also share with your young friend Maria as a keepsake.

As you journeyed through various places, most were captivating, ranging from ancient natural formations like towering cliffs to enigmatic supernatural occurrences. Without a doubt, these were the highlights for us.

10 Solstice Crossing

Preserved Between Seasons

Metaphor: ReFantazio: 10 Coolest Locations, Ranked

To the north of Altabury, situated where the open plains meet the mountain range rumored to house dragons from the Mage Academy, the party stumbles upon the legendary Solstice Pass.

According to legend, a king who wields the power of the Faker Archetype enchanted the region such that one part remains bathed in the hues of fall, while another lies shrouded in winter’s covering.

Thanks to the magic at play, both of these seasonal views remain all year round.

It’s quite amusing that since she was raised in a tropical environment, Eupha had never witnessed the hues of autumn until now, and she’s absolutely captivated by the sight.

9 Midnight Sunsands

Remnants Of A Natural Wonder

Metaphor: ReFantazio: 10 Coolest Locations, Ranked

On my journey to the colossal Sandworm’s lair nestled near Martira, I decided to take a break at the Midnight Sunsands oasis.

In the heart of this natural wonder, you’ll find a massive remnant of a sandworm, discarded and resting amidst the desert sands.

This is already fairly interesting, but as Neuras points out, the real draw is the pure white sand beneath the husk.

This sand appears naturally but is actually tempered glass formed through a sudden, high-temperature explosion.

8 Malibelo Stope

A Message From The Land

Metaphor: ReFantazio: 10 Coolest Locations, Ranked

Just north of Grand Trad, you’ll find the remnants of another crystal mining site, known as the Malibelo Stope.

The site was abandoned after extensive mining revealed the crystals were naturally growing into distinctly human shapes.

Basilio remembers hearing a tale suggesting that regardless of how many crystals are extracted from the ground, they will always reform into their humanoid form.

Casually contemplating if the bitterness from the miners who were trapped and the participants of the Igniter experiments might be influencing the crystal’s formation, perhaps indirectly through the influence of Magla’s subtle energy.

He admits this is just a theory, though, and that nobody knows the real reason.

7 Towering Seawall

Take A Walk On The Ocean Floor

Metaphor: ReFantazio: 10 Coolest Locations, Ranked

On their voyage toward Virga Island aboard the Gauntlet Runner, the group decides to make a stop at the breathtaking Towering Seawall en route.

An extraordinary and seemingly mystical occurrence, this is a mound of sand that grows beneath sea level despite the fact that the encircling ocean remains stationary, much like water in an aquarium.

During daylight hours, bioluminescent fish that are usually found deep underwater in darkness can be easily viewed right through a sunlit wall.

Hulkenberg is especially excited about this place because it’s close to the water, making it potentially convenient for her to fish using a spear.

6 Decaying Estate

A City In The Sky

Metaphor: ReFantazio: 10 Coolest Locations, Ranked

As they soar above Altabury’s northern lands, the group stumbles upon an astonishing sight – a floating mansion, known as the Decaying Estate.

People generally think that the island’s reality is nothing more than an enchanting story, as the Sanctist Church keeps its true essence hidden.

The landmass is strangely stationary, and what’s more, there are remnants of structures clearly built by humans on it.

Nearly left breathless, Neuras finds himself utterly awestruck by the enchanting beauty of the island as well as the stunning array of stone and glass structures scattered along its shorelines.

5 Eht Ria

Home Of The Mustari Tribe

Metaphor: ReFantazio: 10 Coolest Locations, Ranked

In the heart of the ocean, straddling the coasts of Brilehaven and Altabury, rested the traditional homeland of the Mustari Tribe.

On Virga Island, every Mustari is nurtured from birth and brought up amidst a bustling, vibrant community, even though the island itself may seem remote.

At first, the village had no name at all, but following the triumphant rescue of Eupha from the Dragon Temple by the party, the leader felt it was past due for an update.

To pay tribute to their Dragon Deity, Edeni chooses to officially title the settlement as “Eht Ria,” subtly hinting at another series in the Atlus game universe.

4 Dragon Temple

Remnants Of A World Long Lost

Metaphor: ReFantazio: 10 Coolest Locations, Ranked

The heart of the Malnova Island chain, where the Mustari tribe’s island lies, serves as their primary sacred site for religious practices.

The colossal Dragon Temple brims with an abundance of the mystical element known as Magla, housing enigmatic devices and historical artifacts from times long past.

The intriguing aspect of this temple lies in its location, which sits upon the ruins of an ancient submerged city.

This city, Drakongrace Shinjuku, provides the first real glimpse into the true nature of Euchronia.

3 Altabury Heights

The Seat Of Sanctism

Metaphor: ReFantazio: 10 Coolest Locations, Ranked

In my perspective, I find myself captivated by the enchanting heartland that goes by the name Altabury Heights – a remarkable city nestled in the Principality of Montario. It holds an extraordinary significance as it serves not only as the political capital but also as the sacred sanctuary for the devoted followers of Sanctism, our cherished faith.

The largest recognizable feature of Altabury is a massive stone pillar suspended over the metropolis, believed to have been formed by a divine intervention long ago.

Additionally, not only does this city boast a rich cultural scene and numerous amenities, but it’s unique in being the sole city worldwide offering a public access natural hot spring, making it an exceptional destination for relaxation and community interaction.

Additionally, it boasts a vibrant artistic community, with the grand Montario Opera House perched on the hill presenting the most recent (church-endorsed) performances and dramas.

2 Grand Trad

Capital Of Euchronia

Metaphor: ReFantazio: 10 Coolest Locations, Ranked

In simpler terms, Grand Trad serves as both the primary city and the center of authority for the united kingdom known as Euchronia, holding unquestioned control over the entire nation.

The Grand Trad houses some of the grandest architectural marvels within its borders, including the towering, inverted pyramid structure of the magnificent Grand Cathedral.

It’s also the place where the Royal Palace once stood, but an extraordinary event transpired when the palace suddenly emerged from the ground, appearing to soar above the country on what seemed like the late king’s massive visage.

Although not every part of the city may be especially welcoming, there are pleasant areas worth discovering, like the consistently warm and inviting Hushed Honeybee Inn.

1 Brilehaven

A Bustling Marine Port

Metaphor: ReFantazio: 10 Coolest Locations, Ranked

The primary seaport at Brielhaven serves as the capital of the Oceanic Principality, and it’s a hub of bustling commercial activities within the realm.

Instead of the somber atmosphere found in Grand Trad or Altabury, Brilehaven presents a cheerful cityscape filled with numerous dining options, rest spots, and venues for enjoyable experiences.

This spot is ideal for travelers, offering two main attractions: an immense amphitheater and the enigmatic orb suspended over the ocean, filled with water.

It seems that the city is constructed over an expansive deposit of rare Magla crystals, these minerals not only contribute to the ocean’s peculiar qualities but also attract merchants engaged in commerce.
