Shortly following the initial scene, you find yourself at the Recruitment Center, but your journey is interrupted as your carriage encounters a surprise attack from rogue bandits.

Other than having a brief encounter with the soon-to-be friend, Strohl, there’s not much going on around here.

Following a close call where Strohl nearly received a stern reprimand from a military officer, it’s now your time for the interview. Initially, one of the captains present at the table may tease you about your ancestry in Elda.

If you disregard the remarks made by the residents of the Grand Trad town, the Captain will subsequently pose a question to you. The question is about the rationale behind your decision to join the military, and you’ll have several options to choose from in response.

  • I want to fight for change.
  • I need the money.
  • I’m just so bored.

You’re free to pick any option here since they won’t impact your character’s statistics or anything connected to the main character.

As a dedicated fan, I’m about to discover my initial attributes for the game. The Captain will inquire about the unique contributions I can make to his cherished Corps, considering any exceptional talents I might possess. There are several choices available for me to select.

What Answer Should You Choose

Looking back, the points you earn through the Recruitment Centre test in Metaphor: ReFantazio don’t seem to make much of a difference overall in terms of the game’s big picture.

This is mainly due to the fact that each response affects your associated statistics by just a few points.

Regardless of how small the growth may be, enhancing the relevant attributes remains beneficial as it aligns with the gameplay style you prefer when developing your character.

To give you a bit of an advantage at the outset, feel free to review the information about each response and its related statistics.

In the opening stages of this game, I found myself excelling as a character who specializes in Healing and Spellcasting – the Healer and Mage Archetypes. Since these roles heavily rely on my Magic stat, I decided to focus on enhancing that rather than stats like Endurance or Agility, which didn’t seem to have a significant impact on my performance in those roles. So, I prioritized boosting my Magic points here.
