Strohl Dubbed Most Popular Character in Metaphor: ReFantazio Poll

Atlus shared the final results that revealed the most popular character in Metaphor: ReFantazio in a showcase on March 7, 2025, and Leon Strohl da Haliaetus won. This means the results didn’t change much from the check-in released in January 2025, as he was in first back then too. All results stemmed from a poll for the game held on an official Japanese site, which opened back in December 2024.

Here are the top 20 people who placed in the final poll results, which showed the top three most popular characters in Metaphor: ReFantazio remained Strohl, Louis, and the hero.
