Depending on the circumstance and scenario, there are different ways to heal in the title. The main mode of healing is via spells. As players unlock new Archetypes (essentially classes in other RPGs), they will also learn new spells, including the ability to replenish HP at the cost of MP.

Given how this restores a moderate amount of health, spells such as Dei will be the go-to method of keeping the party up and kicking. Of course, this also means that players must have abundant MP, which is the gauge used to cast spells. The other primary means of healing is via consumables.

There are a bunch of items in the game that can be used to heal party members, they are:

• Medicinal Herb: Restores 50 HP to one ally.
• Medicine: Restores 100 HP to one ally.
• Fairy Dust: Restores 50 HP to all allies.

These, among other items, can be found via exploration, dropped from foes, or purchased from vendors. When it comes to Archetypes, some like the Healer (and its subsequent advanced variants, the Cleric and Saviour) also specialize in recovery magic. The game also has a handy Auto-Recovery button that heals the party fully while in the overworld at the cost of MP.

While players will find Rest areas when out exploring dungeons, it should be noted that these do not recover HP. As such, players must either conserve MP and/or healing items or exit for the day. This will heal the party fully. In case they want to stick around, taking advantage of MP recovery tactics like Archetype passives to recover small amounts of MP from defeated or stunned foes is a viable option too.

Metaphor ReFantazio is out right now for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X}S platforms.
