Player Character Calculus	comment	This is the video game-specific variation of the Cast Calculus. In many games, the player controls a single Player Character at any time and often throughout the entire game. Others give you an AI-controlled Non-Player Companion, while certain genres offer multiple companions to make up an entire Player Party. This page categorizes individual maximum party sizes and which tropes are associated with them. Compare Faction Calculus.

Player Character Calculus / int_108cd205	comment	The Wizardry series is probably the Ur-Example of six-person parties in video games: all installments except the fourth (where you played the Evil Overlord) had fully player-created parties of six, which could be imported from game to game (with a notable break between V and VI). The final installment had eight party slots in total, allowing the player to add two "Recruitable Player Characters" (essentially predefined NPCs) to the roster.

As in Tactics, storyline missions require the protagonist to be present. In Tactics A2, some missions also have AI-controlled guest characters that automatically fill in spaces. Escort missions are probably the worst about this since the opponents usually still get a full team, you can have more than one character to protect, and the AI tends to be outright suicidal.

Fittingly enough, the Big Bad's Social Deduction Game means that by the time the party has reached the final floor of his pillar, there'll be only six survivors. If any traitors are within that set of survivors, they will reveal themselves in the final mission, leading to the one time in the game where you control less than six characters.

Player Character Calculus / int_a81325d3	comment	Many Final Fantasy games (especially in the 8- and 16-bit eras) use a four-hero party as the standard. Final Fantasy: There are always four Warriors of Light. A Solo-Character Run involves KOing the other three and never reviving them. Final Fantasy II: Your first three slots are fixed, with the fourth going to the current story arc's Guest-Star Party Member before finally settling on the 11th-Hour Ranger near the very end. Final Fantasy III: Like the original, you always have four party members. Unlike the original, the new Job System lets you change their roles practically at any time. Final Fantasy V: This game uses a Job System like III, but you start just with Bartz and gradually build up to a four-character party. The fourth member dies during the game and the replacement inherits their stats. Final Fantasy VI: Four is the max, but the cast changes all the time and you don't have to have a full party. There are also several parts (including the majority of the back half of the game) in which you can choose your party freely, the game largely averts Can't Drop the Hero, and there are two major late-game dungeons and a handful of smaller scenarios that involve grouping your playable characters into two to three parties and switching between them. Final Fantasy IX, as an intentional throwback to the series' classic roots, goes back to a maximum-four-member party that is sometimes swappable and sometimes plot-mandated a la VI. Final Fantasy XV is not shy of this as well. For most of the game, you control a four-man team comprised of Noctis, Ignis, Prompto and Gladiolus, with your occasional Guest-Star Party Member tagging along, and many sections where the main four are separated.

You can generally swap out from two or three other characters, anyone else (and at times there are indeed tons of characters) if available is in reserve and can only be swapped outside of battle from the menu. At times, you may even be split into two or three teams of four person parties with separate paths.

It's actually a plot point that you can't use more than three characters at once, as trying to time-travel with more brings them to the End of Time. You can reduce the roster to 4 (by not recruiting the Secret Character, not getting one character back from a sidequest, and letting one character die and not get him back).

In games with more than four characters, four others ride in the wagon (depending on the game, the wagon may only be available on the overworld and the final dungeon), and any others must be left behind with NPCs. Some monsters will prevent you from switching characters mid-battle by locking the wagon doors or punt characters away, making them unusable for the rest of the battle. The only exception was Dragon Quest V, which used three-member parties, and even that was brought to the standard of four in remakes. Even Dragon Quest X, an MMO, forced players to form parties of no more than four people. The Dragon Quest Monsters subseries used three-member parties for most of its history, but has shifted to the series-standard four in its most recent entries (starting with Joker 3).
