Party Member Arrival Schedule:

Each party member awakens to their Archetype, a power usable by other party members. Early companions may be initially AI-controlled before gaining full player control upon Archetype awakening.

• Strohl (Warrior): Joins on June 5th during the Border Fort events. Awakens to his Archetype the following day, June 6th, in the Nord Mines, becoming fully controllable.

• Grius: Joins after the Border Fort events, but becomes a combat participant on June 6th. While he joins the party, he doesn't undergo the same Archetype awakening as other members.

• Hulkenberg (Knight): Interacts with the party from June 10th. Her Archetype awakening and full party integration occur during the boss fight on June 11th.

• Heismay (Thief): Heismay's awakening and party integration happen on July 4th within Martira's main dungeon during a largely linear story segment.

• Junah (Masked Dancer): Junah joins after her Archetype awakening on August 13th.

• Eupha (Summoner): Eupha's recruitment offers more flexibility. Completing the Dragon Temple Dungeon anytime between August 19th and September 4th (during Viraga Island free time) will add her to the party for the final boss. However, her Bond questline begins only after this period.

• Basilio (Berserker): Awakens and joins the party on September 11th during Saint's Day events. Combat usage is available the following day.
