Required Party Member	comment	In a Role-Playing Game, the opposite of an Optional Party Member. That is, someone who you must have in the group, usually due to plot reasons and regardless of the player's own choice in the matter. Depending on the story, they may leave after their work is done, taking with them everything they had, or they may stick around with your Ragtag Bunch of Misfits. A slightly less annoying version is requiring certain party members to raise specific Event Flags. You don't have to put Bob into the party so he can unlock the door to the underground base... unless you want 100% Completion. This can also be But Thou Must!, if the game appears to give you a choice, but then forces you to use the characters it wants you to anyway. If it's the main protagonist that's forced to be in your party at all times (which is almost always the case anyways), that's the Sub-Trope, Can't Drop the Hero. If you can choose not to use the character, but the game becomes nigh-impossible without them, that's Character Select Forcing.

Required Party Member / int_13a0c5fc	comment	The .hack//G.U. Games would occasionally require you to use specific teams for story events. When this happened, you could bet you were going to see an FMV before the dungeon was out. There were also side-dungeons which your party members invited you to, thus requiring you to use that particular person. At one point this results in an inadvertent Two-Timer Date when Kite is invited to the same dungeon by both Black Rose and Terajima Ryoko. The sequel pretty much forces at least one member for nearly every story dungeon. Likewise, your team for the Arena story battles are always Haseo/Atoli/Silabus for Vol 1, Haseo/Atoli/Alkaid (Haseo/Kuhn/Endrance for the finale) in Vol 2 and Haseo/Atoli/Kuhn for Vol 3. And whenever AIDA is confirmed in a dungeon you can only take someone who has an Avatar there.

Required Party Member / int_14004ff5	comment	Some levels of X-Men Legends forced you to take certain members along. Sometimes you were free to fill out the other party slots with your choice (up to 4 characters total), other times you were restricted to less. Some levels also required certain skills to be able to progress through them, most notably being able to make bridges, or weld. These were less annoying in that there was usually more than one character that could do the task, but you sometimes had to backtrack to the nearest save point to swap the party around. The 'required skill' part was greatly toned down for the sequel. Instead of needing the skill to advance, it was usually only required to unlock bonus content.

He's the only bridge officer ("boff") in the game who cannot be deleted from the PC's crew because he's so intensely integrated into the faction storyline. The revamped Federation and Klingon Justified Tutorials give sets of predefined boffs (complete with voice acting), though these can be replaced with custom boffs once you get through the tutorial and into The Overworld.

Required Party Member / int_1aacbbc9	comment	A staple in Dragon Age: In Dragon Age: Origins, you must bring Oghren on the Anvil of the Void quest, Alistair to the Landsmeet, Zevran to the final fight against the Crows, provided he chooses to stay with you, etc. The various personal quests also require the companion they are associated with for obvious reasons except for Morrigan, who inverts it: her assignment requires you to avoid bringing her along when you face Flemeth. On larger scale, you can kill or drive away pretty much any party member in the game except Alistair and Morrigan until the endgame (when you can drive even them away by recruiting Loghain and refusing the Dark Ritual, respectively). Ultimately subverted with Alistair during the Final Battle, however: even though as a fellow Gray Warden, he is supposed to face the Archdemon with you, you can just as well leave him behind. In Dragon Age II, most of the Companions' Personal Quests will require you to include them in the party. The one exception is Aveline's Act II Personal Quest which involves her attempts to woo Guardsman Donnic (keyword: attempts). There are also various points in the main plot in which companions may be required, such as Varric on the Deep Roads expedition. Dragon Age: Inquisition is a touch better about this: of your nine companions, four can be driven away through disapproval, and you can't kill any of your party in battle. However, it uses the Mass Effect loyalty mission scheme as described above, with the exception of Cole's personal mission, which requires him, Solas, and Varric in the same party. (Thankfully no combat is involved, so you're not penalized if your Inquisitor happens to not be a tank.)

Required Party Member / int_1ad4fe9a	comment	There are two points during Might and Magic VIII where a specific character is required (above the undroppable hero). First the troll Overdune Snapfinger has to be recruited as a witness to the Lake of Fire's creation (this is not so bad, since it is still relatively early in the game, and the structure of the quest means no major combat is necessary during the parts where Overdune is required). Secondly, the cleric Dyson Leland is necessary for either variant of the quest where you align with the Clerics or the Necromancers (this is annoying, since Leland is liable to be more underlevelled than Overdune, and you have to take extreme measures to avoid having to have him in the party during the combat segments).

Required Party Member / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem has several chapters in most of its games where a character is forced into the party and absolutely must be used for that chapter. You usually have to keep them alive too, i.e. you can't just let them get beaten and leave the field; if they get beaten, they're dead. As a rule of thumb, Can't Drop the Hero is in play. The main character can never leave the front line under any circumstances and will cause a game over if they kick the bucket. In Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, Fae is required for the final two chapters. If you used up her irreparable, irreplaceable Dragonstone, you're in for a rotten time. Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade: All three lords are required for chapters 19E/20H, 21E/22H, 24E/26H, 29E/31H and the endgame. Hawkeye is required for chapter 22xE/23xH. Nino is required for chapter 26xE/28xH. Nils is required for chapters 30E/32H and the endgame. In Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, both lords are required for the endgame. In Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, whichever dragon you recruited (Ena or Nasir) is required for the endgame. In Fire Emblem: Awakening, Robin is required for chapter 23. In Fire Emblem Fates, all child paralogue chapters require you to deploy the fixed parent of the child you are recruiting. For most children, it's their father, for Kana, it's Corrin, and for Shigure, it's his mother, Azura. In Fire Emblem: Three Houses: All paralogues focusing on playable characters require you to bring the characters in focus. Hubert is required for Chapter 12 of the Black Eagles route, the last mission before the Time Skip, if you side with Edelgard in the Holy Tomb.

There are times in the game where you play as one set specific character or a set group of characters, and this holds for the first 3/5ths of the game. In the fourth "chapter" you're allowed to choose groups of Senshi, though Sailor Moon is usually required (in a few cases, Chibi Moon is). At the beginning of the fifth chapter, the Senshi split up, one group going to rescue Sailor Moon's little brother and the other to go visit the Crystal Palace. In the cut scene before choosing teams, it looks like Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Mercury are going with Sailor Moon, while the other five (the "Outers" and Chibi Moon) are the other group. However, aside from Chibi Moon and Sailor Moon, you actually can mix this up and choose whoever you want to be in which group. There is different dialogue in the cut scenes depending on who's in which group.

Required Party Member / int_49a87cb3	comment	Final Fantasy VII loves this trope; at various points in the game, one character or another is required to be in your party to advance the plot, whether you like it or not. Yuffie and Vincent are the only exceptions since they are optional party members and have no relevance to the main plot. Barret forces himself into the party as they investigate who is framing him. Red XIII is forced onto you when you explore the caves in Cosmo Canyon as he learns about his father. After getting the Keystone, Aerith is forced into your party as you explore the Temple of the Ancients so she can understand herself and her ancestors. Meta-explanation: it's required because she needs to be there to get abducted. And no, you are not getting her back. Can also be a Player Punch if you were trying to get her together with Cloud. Done once again in the Whirlwind Maze where Tifa forces herself into your active party so she can see Sephiroth defeated once and for all. At least, that's what it looks like on the surface: the game forces Tifa to join you so that she can see that Cloud's memories of the Nibelheim incident are fragmented and made up, forcing her to spill the beans about what really happened. What makes this example particularly frustrating is that she gets shoehorned into the party right before a boss fight, quickly turning her into The Load if you haven't been training her. When Shinra attempts to use the rocket in Rocket Town, Cid forces himself into your party so he can personally kick Shinra's ass. There is a point where Cloud is forced out of the party, leaving Tifa as the 'main/leader' character. Then you find Cloud, and both Cloud and Tifa are out of the party for a while, leaving Cid in charge.

Required Party Member / int_49a88442	comment	Final Fantasy XIV has an unusual case of the trope at the end of the 2.5 storyline. Midgardsormr, a legendary and ancient dragon whom you defeat at one point, not only takes away your special ability that the Mothercrystal blessed you with, but uses some of that power to construct himself a temporary body and forces himself into your company as a minion/pet. Unlike other minions, Midgardsormr is NOT optional and he automatically gets added to your minion list whether you want him to or not. Said dragon will also pop up during certain cut scenes to give his quips on what the current situation is and you can't stop him from doing so. To drive the point home further, floating/flying minions will sometimes land on your head/shoulder and fly off if you move. Midgardsormr, if you have him out, will perch on your shoulder and will only get off when he feels like it as he sticks to you like glue. That dragon won't be leaving anytime soon. At the end of 3.0, Midgardsormr is impressed by your achievements without your gift and not only do you earn it back, the dragon gains an adult body and allows you to fly on his back as a flying mount while being forced into your mount collection. You don't have to use him as a mount and are free to use a different mount to fly with.

Required Party Member / int_526d4c5c	comment	Knights of the Old Republic gives you numerous quests that cannot be completed without a certain party member. You get forced to take Carth when you first enter Taris, you have to have Mission to get into the Vulkar base, T3-M4 is required to get into the Sith base, you need HK-47 to complete the light-side track with the Sand People on Tantooine, you need Bastila for the beginning of Dantooine, etc. And railroads you entirely on the Leviathan level, by locking you with Carth and Bastila. Of course, because of certain story events, the whole thing wouldn't work without them. The Brotherhood of Shadow mod also forces this in several places. Justified on some of it, as you're playing a flashback to some event in your life as Revan. On the unknown planet, your party members will leave when you prepare to open up the temple, but Jolee and Juhani will come back and insist on accompanying you in. Since Jolee and Juhani are a popular choice of party members, being the only two Jedi you have left after Bastila leaves, this can make the part in which you're forced to leave your party behind seem rather silly. In the sequel, you need Bao-Dur to track down the Ebon Hawk on Telos. Mandalore is needed for the Iziz level before the Onderon Civil War. Kreia is required in your party during the civil war at Onderon. Also, during the assault on the Ravager, you are forced to bring Visas and Mandalore with you.

Required Party Member / int_59da62aa	comment	This is not really the case in Fallout: New Vegas (with the exception of companion quests, which obviously requires the associated companion but are not needed to complete the game unless you want 100% Completion). It does, however, show up in the Dead Money and Honest Hearts add-ons, which both have main quest stretches that require a specific companion. Likewise, several missions in the sequel, Fallout 4, require you to have a certain companion, like Dogmeat or Nick Valentine. However, the game does not count mandatory companions as counting to the one-companion limit, which is extremely helpful. Furthermore, while the DLC Far Harbor doesn't require you to take Nick Valentine, the story of Nick and Far Harbor are deeply entwined, due to the fact that Nick's half-brother DiMA runs Arcadia, the Synth refuge on the island.

It forced you to take Shandra along for an entire chapter.... but raised the party member limit by one to accommodate her, allowing you to take whatever team you were comfortable with in the previous chapters, plus her. When she died, the extra spot became open.

On larger scale, you can kill or drive away pretty much any party member in the game except Alistair and Morrigan until the endgame (when you can drive even them away by recruiting Loghain and refusing the Dark Ritual, respectively). Ultimately subverted with Alistair during the Final Battle, however: even though as a fellow Gray Warden, he is supposed to face the Archdemon with you, you can just as well leave him behind.

In Tales of Symphonia, Collette is required in all of the boss fights at the end of Sylvarant's temples(which are seals she must open for her journey of regeneration as The Chosen One), while Sheena is required for all summon seals. Also, in order to get the location information for monsters into your Monster Book, you need to use the Magic Lens with Raine, not any of the other characters. Raine is also required for the Windmaster boss fight, because she is participating in the ritual, and Lloyd is required for the third battle with Yggdrasill, the third battle with Kratos and the battle with Origin. This happens extremely often in Tales of Xillia 2, forcing an entire party formation on you for every story chapter but the last one, and requiring one or two specific members for the character episodes. Naturally, they end up making you have to fight That One Boss using a formation that doesn't have any of the party's primary healers.

You can try to reject her later on the ship, but Anderson will overrule you. Garrus or Wrex is required to proceed on the Citadel, but the other can be rejected. Tali and Liara also must join your group for the game to proceed, if you complain on Tali Udina overrules you (you don't even get the option to complain with Liara). Ultimately, this means out of your 6 possible members, you need a minimum of 5 to complete the game, 4 of which are predetermined. Mass Effect 2 has Jacob, Miranda, Jack, and Garrus invariably join you before the second plot mission but the one with most impact on the plot is Prof. Mordin, whose genius provides most of the success-relevant tech on the Normandy. However, you cannot expect to survive the Suicide Mission without losses with just the required party members. Interestingly played with for Grunt and Legion. The missions where they are acquired must be completed for the game to advance; but the manner in which they then join your team means that technically, they are actually optional. Another plot critical mission won't unlock until you have at least 8 members, but there are no further requirements for which ones. You also have to bring each party member along on his/her loyalty mission, for what should be pretty obvious reasons. Because of this, loyalty missions tend to be tailored to the associated party member's special skills. The initial part of the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC can be completed with any two characters. However at a certain point Liara joins your squad, and remains in it for the rest of the DLC. Mass Effect 3: Liara for the Thessia and (DLC) Eden Prime missions, Tali (if she survived 2) for the first and last missions of the Geth-Quarian arc, and EDI for the assault on Cerberus headquarters. The early missions in the third game force you to take along an exact party: Anderson on Earth, Ashley/Kaidan and James on Mars (until you meet Liara, then Ashley/Kaidan and Liara), and James/Liara on Menae (unless Garrus survived; then he'll replace Liara). In all cases, the game goes out of its way to justify what the other characters are doing, and you don't have anyone else in your party to bring. While it is possible to recruit Javik (if you got the DLC) prior to Menae, the game will not allow you to bring him with you on that mission. And throughout the entire game you have to pick up James, EDI, and Liara and they cannot be killed outside of a Bad Ending or otherwise removed from the ship, nor is there any point in the previous games where they can die. Garrus is similar, but he can die in the finale of the second game, in which case he won't appear in the third. If he is, he automatically joins your party, and don't have the option to reject him. Finally, a literal example. The DLC Citadel concludes with a party. Joker, Liara, EDI, James, Cortez, and Traynor (the only ones who must still be alive) are all automatically invited, and you cannot uninvite them. All other surviving teammates can be invited or not at your discretion. In Mass Effect: Andromeda, Jaal is automatically chosen for the mission to rescue the Moshae. Justified since it's a joint mission with the Angaran Resistance, and Jaal is their liaison to Ryder's team. Also, like in Mass Effect 2, every party member is required for their individual loyalty mission.

In addition, any mission classified as a Companion Mission will require that companion to accompany you. The Sith Inquisitor has to bring Andronikos Revel with them for a significant chunk of Tatooine because they're in an Enemy Mine: he's helping them recover a Sith artifact in exchange for their help getting revenge on his Starscream of a former first mate. The Inquisitor is also specifically instructed to take Khem Val with him for Zash's ritual, because Zash accidentally possessing him is a major plot point through the rest of the Inquisitor storyline. There is also a Sith Inquistor mission on Rishi in the Shadows of Revan expansion that you must take Talos Drellik with you, as it involves an archaeological find, and Talos is a professional archaeologist, and he is a key part of the conversations in that mission. The Republic Trooper has one mission where you have to use certain companions for certain segments of the mission, and switch out when moving on to the next one. Justified because it's a sabotage assault on a superweapon, and you need your demolitions expert to plant the bombs, your tech guy to shut down enemy systems, etc. The Jedi Knight takes Kira along on the mission where you learn she's actually a Child of the Emperor. The Jedi Knight must also take T7 along as his companion when he goes to Dromund Kaas for his showdown and to kill the Sith Emperor, where it's Justified that due to his strong mind control powers, which only the Knight has been able to resist, only a droid, also immune to force-based mind control, could accompany him. The storyline missions in Knights of the Fallen Empire and Knights of the Eternal Throne expansions are scripted to an extreme degree and therefore invariably require one of a small selection of companions (mostly new characters, with a few returning companions from the class stories).

You could go straight to the final dungeon with only three characters if you wanted to. A more minor example of the Event Flag version of this trope occurs in cutscenes after you can begin swapping party members in and out of your group. While dialogue is largely the same regardless of who is with you, particular characters will get lines attributed to them specifically.

In the SEBEC Quest, your party will ultimately consist of the MC, Maki, Mark and Nanjo, with one slot left for you to choose, and in the Snow Queen Quest, your party consists of the MC, Yukino and Ayase, with two slots to choose. Persona 3: The Hierophant/Lovers full moon requires you to bring Yukari (because your party was fixed last time and did not include her) so you can fall into the Lovers's mind control. This is slightly more lenient in Portable for the heroine — you'll need a full party, which ensures that you'll have to bring at least one of the guys. In "The Answer", your party will consist solely of Aigis and Metis for the 2-on-2 party battles before the final door. Persona 5: Whenever you get a new party member, the game forces them into your party for the ensuing mini-boss battle. During the lead-up to Yusuke's awakening, you are forced to do a mini-boss fight with just Ryuji at your side. He and Ann are required for Yusuke's awakening fight. In Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth, certain sidequests require specific characters in your party. In Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth, most of the "special showings" avert this, since while they give bonuses to the party members who participate, they aren't required. The exceptions are the quests in which you fight the Optional Boss of each labyrinth, since a specific character is required for each fight. Another exception is a late-game request that requires Haru and Aigis to be in your active party and Rise to serve as your navigator.

You're often denied the ability to bring any party members of your own choosing in the story dungeons, either having to manage with just you and your partner, or being forced to take along a NPC as well (who annoyingly needs to survive through the dungeon and cannot be issued commands like normal party members, which can lead to losses via Artificial Stupidity). Gates to Infinity is more merciful about this, as the PokÃ©mon who you're forced to take are either an official part of your team (meaning you can level them up and customize them to your liking beforehand) or are extremely overpowered, plus it no longer matters if they get KO'd and you can issue them orders.

Required Party Member / int_9b1b6065	comment	Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle has a couple of cases, one over the course of the game, one at a specific point. Over the course of the game is more a case of "Required Party Member Type": On top of Can't Drop the Hero being in play with Mario, the player must always deploy one out of four Raving Rabbids in their three-man squad, but is always free to choose which Rabbid to deploy (the game begins with two of the Rabbids in the starting party). During one fight in the game, specifically the boss fight of World 2, Princess Peach is forcibly added to your party at the expense of someone else depending on the "Mario, one Mushroom Kingdom, one Rabbid" formula. If you brought two Rabbids, one will be abducted at random, but Luigi will always be ejected if you try to bring him — did you really think the devs would let you cheese the MELEE-focused boss with the Friendly Sniper?. (Seriously, use Luigi in a re-fight. You'll immediately understand.) An odd case where the character forcing is based on gameplay rather than plot.

Particularly, you need Rock Climb to face Red in HeartGold and SoulSilver. Also sometimes a factor with event legendary PokÃ©mon. You have to bring the three Legendary Golems, Regice, Regirock and Registeel, to Snowpoint Temple to wake up Regigigas in PokÃ©mon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum. (And unless you trade or use Pal Park to bring those mons over from PokÃ©mon Ruby and Sapphire, you need the special movie Regigigas to awaken the three golems in DPP, in order to wake up the other Regigigas.) Other examples include needing Celebi in your party to get Zorua and needing the three Legendary Beasts for Zoroark in PokÃ©mon Black and White. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, bringing the Pikachu-colored (Shiny) Pichu to Ilex Forest shrine is necessary to get Spiky-Eared Pichu. Other times, the event mons are needed to trigger in-game events. Black and White have specific events for Keldeo, Meloetta and Genesect, and PokÃ©mon Yellow has a surfing game that needs the Surfing Pikachu to activate. The HeartGold and SoulSilver have the Sinjoh Ruins event, requiring an Arceus as your lead PokÃ©mon to activate it, and the Giovanni battle, which requires specifically a DS-generation event Celebi to activate it. A much more direct example is in PokÃ©mon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, where you need to catch Rayquaza and have it in your party, since it can fly you into space and destroy the meteor in the Delta Episode. It's not at all burdensome, as Rayquaza comes into the final battle instantly a Mega and at a very high level. To get the ability to teach a Pikachu Surf, you need to complete the Prime Cup while having a Pikachu in your chosen three PokÃ©mon at the final round. Mantyke in PokÃ©mon Diamond and Pearl evolves into Mantine, but a Remoraid is required to be in your party in order for the evolution to occur. In PokÃ©mon Legends: Arceus, you have to have the legendary that you caught at Spear Pillar (Dialga or Palkia depending on what clan you did the endgame with) in your party before you can leave the village to face its counterpart.

Required Party Member / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: Your party is perpetually altering itself in Final Fantasy IV, but it's always doing so at the story's discretion. Final Fantasy VI is an odd case in that this happens frequently in the first half of the game (such as with Banon's Escort Mission, or Locke and Celes being mandatory for the opera house storyline), but in the second half, almost nobody is technically required except for a few characters. You could go straight to the final dungeon with only three characters if you wanted to. A more minor example of the Event Flag version of this trope occurs in cutscenes after you can begin swapping party members in and out of your group. While dialogue is largely the same regardless of who is with you, particular characters will get lines attributed to them specifically. If that character is not in your group the line will simply have quotation marks around it and no named speaker Final Fantasy VII loves this trope; at various points in the game, one character or another is required to be in your party to advance the plot, whether you like it or not. Yuffie and Vincent are the only exceptions since they are optional party members and have no relevance to the main plot. Barret forces himself into the party as they investigate who is framing him. Red XIII is forced onto you when you explore the caves in Cosmo Canyon as he learns about his father. After getting the Keystone, Aerith is forced into your party as you explore the Temple of the Ancients so she can understand herself and her ancestors. Meta-explanation: it's required because she needs to be there to get abducted. And no, you are not getting her back. Can also be a Player Punch if you were trying to get her together with Cloud. Done once again in the Whirlwind Maze where Tifa forces herself into your active party so she can see Sephiroth defeated once and for all. At least, that's what it looks like on the surface: the game forces Tifa to join you so that she can see that Cloud's memories of the Nibelheim incident are fragmented and made up, forcing her to spill the beans about what really happened. What makes this example particularly frustrating is that she gets shoehorned into the party right before a boss fight, quickly turning her into The Load if you haven't been training her. When Shinra attempts to use the rocket in Rocket Town, Cid forces himself into your party so he can personally kick Shinra's ass. There is a point where Cloud is forced out of the party, leaving Tifa as the 'main/leader' character. Then you find Cloud, and both Cloud and Tifa are out of the party for a while, leaving Cid in charge. In Final Fantasy VIII, during the last portion of Disc 1, you are forced to use the split-up teams of Squall, Irvine, and (later on) Rinoa as well as Quistis, Zell, and Selphie. On Disc 2, when visiting the now under siege Balamb, Squall must have Zell in the party. Final Fantasy IX does this constantly until Disc 3. It also does the inverse, having characters just randomly walk away so that you can't add them to the party. In Final Fantasy X, while you can usually switch characters at any time, there are a few parts where you have to fight underwater - and that means only Tidus, Wakka and Rikku can be in your party for those parts, since they're the only ones who know how to fight in the water. You can recruit/remove Wakka from the Besaid Aurochs team, but never Tidus (you don't have to play him, but he takes up a slot). Final Fantasy XIII is an absurd case. You can't switch the party at all until you reach the Ark. Read: Chapter 11, around 18+ hour of gameplay. Even when the group's shown to be together, you can't just switch anybody out until then. The game plays this straight at the conclusion of Chapter 10, though, as you can have anyone in the party, as long as Lightning is the leader. Final Fantasy XIV has an unusual case of the trope at the end of the 2.5 storyline. Midgardsormr, a legendary and ancient dragon whom you defeat at one point, not only takes away your special ability that the Mothercrystal blessed you with, but uses some of that power to construct himself a temporary body and forces himself into your company as a minion/pet. Unlike other minions, Midgardsormr is NOT optional and he automatically gets added to your minion list whether you want him to or not. Said dragon will also pop up during certain cut scenes to give his quips on what the current situation is and you can't stop him from doing so. To drive the point home further, floating/flying minions will sometimes land on your head/shoulder and fly off if you move. Midgardsormr, if you have him out, will perch on your shoulder and will only get off when he feels like it as he sticks to you like glue. That dragon won't be leaving anytime soon. At the end of 3.0, Midgardsormr is impressed by your achievements without your gift and not only do you earn it back, the dragon gains an adult body and allows you to fly on his back as a flying mount while being forced into your mount collection. You don't have to use him as a mount and are free to use a different mount to fly with. Final Fantasy Brave Exvius has 8 "storyline" characters you are guaranteed to obtain through the course of play: Rain, Lasswell, Fina, Lid, Nichol, Jake, Sakura, and "Blue Mage" Fina, and you even start with Rain & Lasswell being the only two characters you can use until you get more. There are ways to obtain other units (and they're permanently available to use unless you do something to get rid of them - sell, use as an "enhancement material"...), but it's largely random.

Frog and Ayla get two such dungeons and Robo is a mandatory party member when you're exploring the factory ruins. Crono is forced on you for most of the game, but eventually, he becomes optional after he dies and is retrieved. Also, there are optional dungeons later in the game that require certain characters to be in your party, namely Robo and Marle. Frog, Robo, and Lucca are each required to be in your party to finish certain optional quests, but they're not required for the dungeons/fights that are part of those quests. Finally, Magus gets some special dialogue in two others but is not required for them. Another end-game dungeon ends with the party trapped, so it's up to the remaining ones to bust them out. Note that depending on the player's choices, "remaining" members could very well be a single person.

Luckily, due to the game's levelling system, even if they're weak when you get them, they catch up fairly quickly. These are also the characters that tend to get the most characterization. The first game was probably the worst about this, to the point where half of your six-person party was predetermined for the last stretch of the plot, right up to the final boss. By contrast, Suikoden V included four 'extra' party slots (for a total of ten) where you could put non-combatants and spare members. So if somebody was forced into your party for plot reasons and you didn't care to use them/they were way too underleveled, you could just stick them in there and drag them along without worrying about dead weight.

The one exception is Aveline's Act II Personal Quest which involves her attempts to woo Guardsman Donnic (keyword: attempts). There are also various points in the main plot in which companions may be required, such as Varric on the Deep Roads expedition.

Required Party Member / int_eb6802b4	comment	Final Fantasy XIII is an absurd case. You can't switch the party at all until you reach the Ark. Read: Chapter 11, around 18+ hour of gameplay. Even when the group's shown to be together, you can't just switch anybody out until then. The game plays this straight at the conclusion of Chapter 10, though, as you can have anyone in the party, as long as Lightning is the leader.

You have to bring the three Legendary Golems, Regice, Regirock and Registeel, to Snowpoint Temple to wake up Regigigas in PokÃ©mon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum. (And unless you trade or use Pal Park to bring those mons over from PokÃ©mon Ruby and Sapphire, you need the special movie Regigigas to awaken the three golems in DPP, in order to wake up the other Regigigas.) Other examples include needing Celebi in your party to get Zorua and needing the three Legendary Beasts for Zoroark in PokÃ©mon Black and White. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, bringing the Pikachu-colored (Shiny) Pichu to Ilex Forest shrine is necessary to get Spiky-Eared Pichu.

Mulan (as Ping), Auron, Jack Sparrow, and Simba at certain story points in Kingdom Hearts II. Only the third of these has an "excuse" for his requirement. In the same game, during the last boss battle in Space Paranoids, the party requires Tron to be active during the battle with the MCPnote since he can only be damaged with the "Delete" reaction command, even though he didn't get the (!) that the previously mentioned got when they were required. Fortunately, since party members can be switched mid-combat, it's not much of an issue. During the final battle against Xemnas, Riku will be Sora's only remaining party member after the first stage. Like with Jack Sparrow before, it's game over if Riku's HP hits zero.

Required Party Member / int_f7c8e36e	comment	In Octopath Traveler, you are required to bring along a specific party member when you are doing their story quest. In addition, many quests in the game require the specific abilities of a character. Luckily, half of the party shares a similar ability with the other half, giving you a choice of who you want to use for the quest. For instance, if you need to get an item off an NPC, you can either buy it with Tressa or steal if off them with Therion. The sole exception is that, if you want access to the contents of locked treasure chests (none of which are mandatory), Therion is the only party member that can pick them open.

Jarring, in that the game provides you with a large pool of optional "battle golems" to fill out the rest of your party. Not to mention that, in areas with enemies that either resist fire or possess strong water attacks, Atsuma can be a liability.

Required Party Member / int_fcf43f47	comment	Various Fighting Fantasy adventures have you forming compulsory alliances with various Assist Characters, where you must keep them alive (at least long enough) if you even want to succeed in your quest. Creature of Havoc have you meeting a half-orc named Grognag Clawtooth, who's being assaulted by some human thugs. You can choose to kill Grognag on the spot, but doing so your adventure is now entirely unwinnable. Have Grognag tag along for the adventure, and he will save you from a group of hostile Frog Men and leave behind an item you'll need later for your quest. Crypt of the Sorcerer have you meeting a tracker named Symm, who greets you with an arrow pointed at your face. If you reveal yourself as the hero out to slay the titular Sorceror, Razaak, Symm will quickly become your ally. Try running away or trick him by claiming to be working for the forces of chaos, and you'll be killed on the spot. Halfway through Deathtrap Dungeon, you'll meet a barbarian named Throm, who will offer a chance for a temporary alliance. Refuse his offer (or pretend to accept, just to ditch him later on) and you'll die a couple pages later. Let Throm follow you and you'll gain a valuable ally in the deeper parts of the dungeon, until you reach the trialmaster who pits you to fight Throm to the death. Magehunter have you teaming up with your Lord Margrave's son, Reinhardt, which you're not too fond off since Reinhardt is a Spoiled Brat. But you will need to keep Reinhardt alive for the entire adventure, and later on you two become Fire-Forged Friends working together to defeat the evil mage, Mencius.
