Each Party Member & What Day They Join In Metaphor: ReFantazio

Each party member awakens to their own unique Archetype, which can then be utilized by any other member of the party. At the beginning of the game, some members join but cannot be fully controlled until they awaken to their Archetype, setting the stage for dynamic combat scenarios.

Storhl - Warrior

Storhl is the first to join your party, aligning with the protagonist on 6/5 during the events at the Border Fort. However, he won't awaken to his Archetype until the following day, on 6/6, in the Nord Mines. Until his awakening, Storhl remains an AI-controlled party member, assisting in battles but not at full capacity.

Grius

Following the Border Fort events, Grius joins the party but doesn't participate in combat until 6/6. Once Storhl awakens, you can summon an Archetype on Grius, integrating him as a regular party member, albeit without his own unique awakening.

Hulkenberg - Knight

Hulkenberg begins interacting with the party on 6/10, but her full integration and awakening to her Archetype occur during the boss fight on 6/11, marking her official entry into the combat lineup.

Heismay - Thief

In Martira, Heismay becomes the focus of your free time, which is largely on-rails. On 7/4, you'll witness Heismay's awakening in the town's main dungeon, followed by his immediate addition to your party, enhancing your tactical options.

Junah - Masked Dancer

Junah's presence is felt throughout the game, but she doesn't join your party until her awakening on 8/13, bringing her unique skills to your combat strategy.

Eupha - Summoner

Eupha offers flexibility in joining the party. During your free time on Viraga Island, between 8/19-9/4, you can complete the Dragon Temple Dungeon. The day you finish this dungeon determines when Eupha joins for the final boss. However, her Bond can only be initiated after the deadline passes, adding a layer of strategic timing to her recruitment.

Basilio - Berserker

Basilio awakens and joins the party during the events of Saint's Day on 9/11. However, you won't be able to utilize him in combat until the day after, if you choose to do so, allowing for strategic planning in your party composition.

Each of these characters not only enriches the narrative of *Metaphor: ReFantazio* but also offers unique combat abilities and Archetypes, enhancing the depth and enjoyment of the gameplay experience.
