How to level up followers (and why)?
Finding all of the followers is not that difficult, as you will unlock most of them along the main story path in Metaphor: ReFantazio. However, most of your game focus on leveling them up to access the strongest versions of your Archetype.
Simply engaging your followers in conversations and completing their various favors will help you level up to gain a huge advantage in combat and even enjoy discounts in stores. They often feel especially talkative when riding the Gauntlet Runner.
If you receive one or two strange quests from them, try to complete them as quickly as possible. When you visit cities, you will see the pop-up window with the follower (handshake) icon on the map. You will also need to improve your eloquence, imagination, courage, wisdom, and tolerance stats in Metaphor: ReFantazio to engage in more conversations with your followers to rank them.
