Here is everything you need to know about the Difficulty Settings in Metaphor: ReFantazio:

The Types

There are five types of difficulty settings from which you can choose. Here is what each mode entails:

• Storyteller: This mode is designed for players who enjoy the story more than fighting. Instead of irritating and challenging battles, the emphasis is on the narrative rather than the combat, and a lost battle will not lead to death.
• Easy: This difficulty level is designed for players who prefer a more relaxed experience without committing to intense challenges. While conflicts still arise, they are much easier to handle, allowing players to focus more on the story and exploration.
• Normal: The regular play sits somewhere in between – a fair amount of storytelling and fighting. The coming confrontations are likely to be reasonably tricky, but not to the extent that they destroy your passion for the game.
• Hard: The Hard difficulty level is for gamers who want a more satisfying and challenging experience. Enemies will be tougher, requiring strategic thinking and precise execution during battles to succeed.
• Regicide: Out of the Five Difficulty Levels, Regicide is probably the most difficult and is strictly for advanced gamers wanting a truly challenging experience.

How to Change Difficulty Settings

Once you've started a new game, you’ll be prompted to select your desired difficulty level. Accessing the menu may be hard for new players, so here’s how you can do it:

• Access the Menu: Pause the game and go to the main menu.
• Select Settings: Look for the “Settings” option and select it.
• Choose System Settings: Find and select System Settings under the settings menu.
• Change Difficulty: Scroll down until you find Change Difficulty.
• Select Your New Difficulty: Select the difficulty level from the dropdown.

While you can adjust the game's difficulty between Easy, Normal, and Hard modes, the Storyteller and Regicide modes are locked in once selected and cannot be changed without starting a new game.
