Atlus' second Metaphor: ReFantazio showcase has just come to a close, and if you've been itching to see more of the game's intense combat system, you're in for a treat. The 20-minute video covers just about everything you need to know with regards to the RPG's hybrid battles, which combine an (optional) action-based opening phase with a turn-based core.

This is where the title's robust job — or Archetype — system comes into play, which consists of over 40 character classes split between 14 categories. You can change the Archetype of every party member, not just the protagonist, which means there should be lots of room for experimentation.
