Metaphor: ReFantazio Many players will need at least sixty hours to compete, with this number rising further depending on how much side content you choose to interact with. Being defeated in battle can result in a game over and send you back to your most recent save, which can accidentally cause you to lose a lot of progress if you don't save often.
Between the basic save feature and the autosave system, it's important to understand how everything works so you know exactly where you're loading a save. Here's how to save and where you can save Metaphor: ReFantazio.

You can also jump to the save menu anytime outside of a dungeon using the following keyboard shortcuts based on your system:
- Playstation – Up on the D-Pad

This game also has an autosave feature that will only use the autosave save file without correcting the manual save files you created, with 15 slots in total. Autosave is indicated at 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 be able to choose from.
While in a city or on the Gauntlet Runneryou can save anytime outside of a conversation, both day and night. While you can't manually save in a dungeon, you can save in the room before entering the dungeon. You can also find More Plateau's cat, which will give you the option to save more in a dungeon. Longer story-related dungeons also have Magla Hollows, which act as safe rooms and also allow you to manually save your game.
While you can't manually save in a dungeon, the autosave feature works in a dungeon. Whenever you pick up an item, such as Blessed Water, or interact with a door or chest in a dungeon, the game will automatically save. When you reload the autosave, the 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 different tactics on a difficult enemy or level up before attempting a fight again.
