Spoiler Warning: This guide reveals the recruitment timing of party members in Metaphor: ReFantazio.

Each party member awakens to a unique Archetype, usable by any party member once unlocked. Early recruits may be initially AI-controlled before gaining full control.

Party Member Recruitment Schedule:

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

• Grius: Joins after the Border Fort events, becoming a combatant on June 6th. While summonable with an Archetype after Strohl's awakening, Grius doesn't undergo a traditional Archetype awakening.

• Hulkenberg (Knight): Interacts with the party from June 10th, fully joining and awakening her Archetype during the boss fight on June 11th.

• Heismay (Thief): His awakening and party recruitment occur 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 is flexible. Completing the Dragon Temple Dungeon anytime between August 19th and September 4th during Viraga Island's free time adds her to the party for the final boss fight. Her Bond quest, however, begins after this period.

• Basilio (Berserker): Awakens and joins the party on September 11th during Saint's Day events. Combat use is available from the following day onward, if desired.
