Party Member Recruitment Timeline:

Each party member possesses a unique Archetype. While initially some are AI-controlled, all eventually gain full control once their Archetype awakens. Awakened Archetypes can be used by any party member.

• Strohl (Warrior): Joins on 6/5 during the Border Fort events, but his Archetype awakens the following day, 6/6, in the Nord Mines. Until then, he's AI-controlled.

• Grius: Joins after the Border Fort events, but becomes a fully playable character on 6/6 after Strohl's Archetype awakens. Grius's integration differs from others; he doesn't undergo a traditional Archetype awakening.

• Hulkenberg (Knight): First interacts with the party on 6/10. Her Archetype awakens and she joins the party during the boss fight on 6/11.

• Heismay (Thief): Featured in Martira's free time section (mostly linear). His Archetype awakens on 7/4 within the town's main dungeon, subsequently joining the party.

• Junah (Masked Dancer): Appears throughout the game but joins after her Archetype awakening on 8/13.

• Eupha (Summoner): Her recruitment offers more flexibility. Complete the Dragon Temple Dungeon anytime between 8/19 and 9/4 to have her join for the final boss. Her Bond quest, however, begins only after this period concludes.

• Basilio (Berserker): Awakens and joins the party on Saint's Day (9/11). However, combat participation is only available from the following day onwards, depending on player choices.
