Metaphor ReFantazio offers a gripping story, but there are several mechanics and counters in the game. Your EXP and level are not the only things you need to care about. Other factors like Archetypes, Royal Virtues, and several others will also demand your attention.

Popularity Rank is one such counter that increases by default as you progress through the main story of the game. However, there are certain methods that you can use to become more popular among the Euchronians. In this guide, we will explain all the details surrounding the Popularity Rank in Metaphor ReFantazio.

What is Popularity Rank in Metaphor ReFantazio?

Popularity Rank basically determines a candidate’s rank and standing among the citizens of Euchronia. The late King Hythlodaeus V cast the election magic, which made each citizen in the Kingdom of Euchronia eligible to be elected as the King. However, this is determined by the Popularity Rank.

The more popular you are, the more the people of the Kingdom will be inclined towards you. This automatically also increases your chance of becoming the next King of the United Kingdom of Euchronia.
