Metaphor: ReFantazio rewards JRPG players with buffs and bonuses for using the toilet and remembering to shower

Atlus’ new JRPG hit Metaphor: ReFantazio offers loads of ways for you to quickly strengthen your protagonist and his party, but perhaps the funniest of them all is handed out as a reward for practicing good hygiene.

Fighting in battles isn’t the only way to earn EXP in Metaphor: ReFantazio, as after you get access to your Gauntlet Runner (your four-legged method of transportation around Euchronia) your protagonist is soon able to hop into the on-board shower to freshen up. Doing so, for whatever reason, also nets him a small amount of EXP. It’s nothing major, but every little helps, and you can’t help but feel it’s sending a bit of a message to those playing at home with the dialogue, “I need to stay hygienic to help facilitate living as a group.”
