Party Member Recruitment Timeline:

Each party member unlocks a unique Archetype, usable by any party member once unlocked. Some initial members are initially AI-controlled before gaining full control.

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

• Grius: Joins after the Border Fort events, but becomes fully playable on June 6th (6/6), after Strohl's Archetype unlocks. Grius doesn't have a traditional Archetype awakening.

• Hulkenberg (Knight): Interacts with the party from June 10th (6/10), but fully joins and unlocks her Archetype during the boss fight on June 11th (6/11).

• Heismay (Thief): His awakening and party integration occur on July 4th (7/4) within Martira's main dungeon.

• Junah (Masked Dancer): Junah joins the party upon her Archetype awakening on August 13th (8/13).

• Eupha (Summoner): Eupha's recruitment is flexible. Completing the Dragon Temple dungeon between August 19th (8/19) and September 4th (9/4) during Viraga Island's free time adds her to the party for the final boss. Her Bond quest begins after this period.

• Basilio (Berserker): Awakens and joins during the Saint's Day events on September 11th (9/11), but becomes fully usable the following day.
