Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma: Unlock All Party Members

How to Form a Party in Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma

Please note: This guide contains character and story-related spoilers, as various degrees of story progression are required to unlock and recruit each character.The Party option becomes available to you early in the main story, specifically in Spring Village. This occurs once you've become acquainted with most of the local residents and have pledged to revitalize the village as its chief.You can form your party by selecting the Party tab in the pause menu. Initially, you can have up to three members in your party at any given time, in addition to yourself. This limit will later increase to six party members once you complete the 'Matsuri's Summons' main quest.Keep in mind that you can only make adjustments to your party loadout while in a safe area, such as one of the villages. However, once you've unlocked the six-party member limit cap, you gain the ability to switch between those six party members while out in the field in combat. This allows for dynamic adaptation to offensive and defensive situations. Don't forget that you can also customize their outfits based on what you've unlocked!
