'''Party members''' are characters who fight alongside you in combat. Some Party members are consistent and fight alongside you throughout most of the game, some only fight with you in certain worlds, and some only helps out as assisting party members during special events.
{{nihongo|'''Party members'''|仲間キャラクター|Nakama kyarakutā|lit. "Fellow character"}} are allies who fight alongside the protagonist, often with customisable behaviour, equipment, [[item]]s, and [[abilities]]. They have their own HP and MP gauges, displayed above the protagonists'. Generally, a defeated party member is knocked out temporarily for a certain period of time, unless they are healed.


==''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''==
{{nihongo|'''Cooperation characters'''|協力キャラクター|Kyōryoku kyarakutā}} are similar allies who only appear during certain story sequences. A distinctive feature is their lack of health gauges, which makes them invincible.  
''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' does not feature set party members and allows only one character for most of the game, granting party members only in a handful of battles. Instead of party members, the game focuses on the [[Dimension Link]] system, a successor to the [[Summon]] system.


===World party members===
There are also other allies who help during certain battles to provide some sort of support, often by opening up new attacks for the protagonist to use.

===Assisting party members===
==''Kingdom Hearts''==
<gallery>
Party members have individual stats and can be equipped with [[item]]s, [[accessories]], and weapons. Party members have different base stats, [[Abilities (KH)|abilities]], and number of item and accessory slots. Each party member has their own weapon type and cannot equip weapons of any other type. They earn experience and level up independently to [[Sora]] and are rewarded with stat boosts, new abilities, more item slots, or more accessory slots when levelling up. While [[Donald]] and [[Goofy]] are permanent party members, many [[world]]s provide a third ally. World-specific party members have limitations as each of them has only one weapon that they can equip and levelling up solely grants stat boosts.

==''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''==
Only two party members can be placed in the active party at a time. A menu to swap party member positions can be accessed at [[Save Point]]s and whenever a party member joins or leaves the group. Experience is granted to party members, even if they are not in the active party or they are in another world.


===Party members===
In battle, pressing {{button|t}} causes party members to attack the locked-on target. There are several enemies that are never targeted by party members, including the [[White Mushroom]], [[Rare Truffle]], and [[Black Ballade]].

===World party members===
=== AI customization===
<gallery>
From the "Customize" tab in the pause menu, a party member's AI can be altered to perform actions at different frequencies, which can create specialised fighting styles. There are a number of pre-made fighting styles to select: '''Offensive''' focuses on attack, '''Defensive''' concentrates on recovery and defense, '''Conservative''' preserves MP and items, and '''Balanced''' provides a mix between offense and defense. In addition, each party member has a unique '''Personal''' fighting style and with '''Manual''', the player can create their own fighting style.

===Assisting party members===
Frequencies can be set on a number of different actions and each party member has access to a particular set of actions. Each action can be set to one of three frequency levels, "Constantly", "Frequently", or "Occasionally", with the exception of the HP Items and MP Items actions which instead use "Immediately", "Frequently", and "Only in emergency".

Sora has been given cards in Castle Oblivion and is sent to worlds from his own memories and his past party members from ''Kingdom Hearts'' from the Disney worlds he had visited have become memory cards.

Party members have individual stats and can be equipped with items, [[armor]], accessories, and weapons. Party members have different base stats, abilities, and number of item, armor, and accessory slots. They earn experience and level up independently to Sora, which reward them with stat boosts. Obtaining bonuses provide party members with further stat boosts, new abilities, and more item, armor, and accessory slots. [[Limit]]s are new techniques that allow Sora to perform powerful attacks with a party member. While Donald and Goofy are permanent party members, many worlds provide a third ally. World-specific party members have limitations as each of them has only one weapon to equip and bonuses do not provide item, armor, and accessory slots.

==''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''==
Only two party members can be placed in the active party at a time but switching between party members is much smoother than in the original ''Kingdom Hearts''. In the [[Command Menu]], a "Party" command allows the player to swap out a party member on the fly, even if they are fallen. Support abilities, such as [[Auto Change]] and [[Auto Healing]], can be equipped on party members to aid the process. Party members can also be swapped around from the "Party" tab in the pause menu. Experience is granted to party members, even if they are not in the active party or they are in another world.
''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' has several worlds that Saïx sends Roxas to on missions, often along with other members of the Organization.

===AI customization===

In the menu's "Customize" tab, the player can change their party members' settings. Each enabled action ability can be set to be used at a different frequency, ranging from "Free", "Well-Balanced", or "Rare". Like Sora, party members can enable [[Auto-Reload]] through a toggle for each item slot.

==''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''==
Also, each party member's behaviour can be set to a particular {{nihongo|'''Battle Style'''|}}:
''Kingdom Hearts II'' increases the number of worlds with party characters to nine, including one in almost every Disney-based world. Three characters from ''Kingdom Hearts'' returned for battle: Aladdin, Jack Skellington, and Beast, although Beast was moved from Hollow Bastion to his own world. Ariel reappeared in Atlantica, but no longer as a party character, Peter Pan became a Summon, and Simba, formerly a Summon, became a party member in his home world of the Pride Lands. The game added a party member, Jack Sparrow, with the same first name as another, Jack Skellington; Sora differentiates between the two by referring to Jack Sparrow as Captain. To make the world-based party members more powerful, special attacks were developed for each character that Sora could call on in the heat of battle. ''Kingdom Hearts II'' also included the first ''Final Fantasy'' party character, Auron, and allowed Sora to fight alongside his best friend, Riku.
*{{nihongo|'''Technic Attack'''|}}: Party Members fight with their individual techniques.
*{{nihongo|'''Target Attack'''|}}: Party Members concentrate attacks on Sora's target.
*{{nihongo|'''Huddle Attack'''|}}: Party Members fight close to Sora.
*{{nihongo|'''Party Attack'''|}}: Party Members will fight a target other than Sora's.
*{{nihongo|'''Sora Attack'''|}}: While Sora attacks, Party Members will support him.
*{{nihongo|'''Relentless Attack'''|}}: Party Members defeat their target before attacking another.

Members of the [[Organization XIII]] are automatically assigned as party members on certain missions. Typically, only one party member accompanies [[Roxas]] on each mission, although [[Mission 56]] begins with two party members and Roxas works alone for many other missions. In battle, party members physically attack enemies and cast magic. In multiplayer [[Mission Mode]], other players are displayed as party members.

==''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]''==
==''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''==
The worlds in ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]'' are drawn from those in ''Kingdom Hearts'', though the party members and layout are different as there are only two worlds where Data-Sora gets party members and both worlds feature different gameplay than usual. In [[Olympus Coliseum]], the player controls the party members the same way Data-Sora is controlled but '[[Game Over]]' only occurs when Data-Sora dies. In [[Hollow Bastion I]], Data-Sora can't attack and instead orders what Donald and Goofy does. A special ability, [[Ask for Help]], allows Data-Sora to cycle Donald and Goofy's focus between following Data-Sora, attacking enemies and destroying blox. Data-Sora's own deck commands are replaced with new commands that Donald or Goofy uses, when the player uses the command. Donald and Goofy both have their own HP and if their HP is reduced to 0, they can only be revived by Data-Sora going to them and using [[Rescue]].
Party members only appear during certain events in the story, similar to cooperation characters from ''Kingdom Hearts II''. [[Friendship Command]]s are most effective within a party, especially when playing multiplayer [[Mirage Arena]]. Enemies do not grant experience if it is defeated by a party member. Some commands, like [[Group Cure]], support party members through restoration or buffs, while other commands, such as [[Trinity Limit]], are attacks that deal extra damage with party members.


===World party members===
In some sequences, an ally must be escorted through an area of [[Unversed]]. A "Damage" gauge fills up when the ally takes damage, forcing "Game Over" when full.

==''Kingdom Hearts coded''==
Only two worlds feature party members in ''Kingdom Hearts coded'', and they each use different gameplay systems.
 
In [[Olympus Coliseum]]'s turn-based combat [[Labyrinth]], party members perform exactly the same as [[Data-Sora]], although "Game Over" only occurs if Data-Sora dies. Each party member has a different [[special attack]] and amount of health.
 
In [[Hollow Bastion I]], Data-Sora cannot attack and instead issues instructions to his party members. In place of [[Attack]], the [[Ask for Help]] command cycles the party members' focus between following Data-Sora, attacking enemies, and destroying [[Bug Blox]]. Deck commands are replaced with new commands that party members carry out; a deck command's type determines which party member executes the new command. Finish commands are disabled, except [[Spinner Ray]] which can be used when both party members have joined the party. If a party member's HP is reduced to 0, they can be revived by going to them and using [[Rescue]].

==''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''==
''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'' does not feature world party members, as they are replaced by [[Dream Eater]] Spirits as your party members.
{{main|Dream Eater#List of Dream Eaters}}
Spirit [[Dream Eater]]s act as Sora and Riku's party members and are synthesized out of [[Dream Piece]]s. They each have different stats, abilities, and [[Ability Link]] boards. The new [[Link System]] allows characters to perform powerful techniques with Spirits. Only three Spirits can be brought into the party at a time and only two fight alongside Sora or Riku. Spirit positions can be changed within the party by dragging their icons around on the touch screen. Experience is only awarded to those in the party. In the "Spirits" tab of the pause menu, Spirits can be placed in and out of the party. If a Spirit's HP reaches 0, it can be revived by using [[Rescue]] within 30 seconds; failure to do so results in the Spirit reverting back to a [[Dream Piece]] permanently. When selecting a New Game Plus, Spirits carry over with their stats.


===Party members===
In the opening battle against [[Ursula]] on the [[Destiny Islands]], Riku acts as a cooperation member to Sora. Riku can attack with his [[Soul Eater]] and heal.

Yes, the untapped power that lies within you. Now, child, it's time you awakened that power and realized your full potential.
Prime - Maleficent 6★ Medal
This article needs more information!

Improve it by adding what you know about the following issues.

Party members (仲間キャラクター Nakama kyarakutā?, lit. "Fellow character") are allies who fight alongside the protagonist, often with customisable behaviour, equipment, items, and abilities. They have their own HP and MP gauges, displayed above the protagonists'. Generally, a defeated party member is knocked out temporarily for a certain period of time, unless they are healed.

Cooperation characters (協力キャラクター Kyōryoku kyarakutā?) are similar allies who only appear during certain story sequences. A distinctive feature is their lack of health gauges, which makes them invincible.

There are also other allies who help during certain battles to provide some sort of support, often by opening up new attacks for the protagonist to use.

Kingdom Hearts

Party members have individual stats and can be equipped with items, accessories, and weapons. Party members have different base stats, abilities, and number of item and accessory slots. Each party member has their own weapon type and cannot equip weapons of any other type. They earn experience and level up independently to Sora and are rewarded with stat boosts, new abilities, more item slots, or more accessory slots when levelling up. While Donald and Goofy are permanent party members, many worlds provide a third ally. World-specific party members have limitations as each of them has only one weapon that they can equip and levelling up solely grants stat boosts.

Only two party members can be placed in the active party at a time. A menu to swap party member positions can be accessed at Save Points and whenever a party member joins or leaves the group. Experience is granted to party members, even if they are not in the active party or they are in another world.

In battle, pressing Triangle causes party members to attack the locked-on target. There are several enemies that are never targeted by party members, including the White Mushroom, Rare Truffle, and Black Ballade.

AI customization

From the "Customize" tab in the pause menu, a party member's AI can be altered to perform actions at different frequencies, which can create specialised fighting styles. There are a number of pre-made fighting styles to select: Offensive focuses on attack, Defensive concentrates on recovery and defense, Conservative preserves MP and items, and Balanced provides a mix between offense and defense. In addition, each party member has a unique Personal fighting style and with Manual, the player can create their own fighting style.

Frequencies can be set on a number of different actions and each party member has access to a particular set of actions. Each action can be set to one of three frequency levels, "Constantly", "Frequently", or "Occasionally", with the exception of the HP Items and MP Items actions which instead use "Immediately", "Frequently", and "Only in emergency".

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories

Main article: Friend card

In sync with the game's card-based system, party members are replaced with Friend cards, which temporarily call allies onto the battlefield to perform attacks.

Kingdom Hearts II

Party members have individual stats and can be equipped with items, armor, accessories, and weapons. Party members have different base stats, abilities, and number of item, armor, and accessory slots. They earn experience and level up independently to Sora, which reward them with stat boosts. Obtaining bonuses provide party members with further stat boosts, new abilities, and more item, armor, and accessory slots. Limits are new techniques that allow Sora to perform powerful attacks with a party member. While Donald and Goofy are permanent party members, many worlds provide a third ally. World-specific party members have limitations as each of them has only one weapon to equip and bonuses do not provide item, armor, and accessory slots.

Only two party members can be placed in the active party at a time but switching between party members is much smoother than in the original Kingdom Hearts. In the Command Menu, a "Party" command allows the player to swap out a party member on the fly, even if they are fallen. Support abilities, such as Auto Change and Auto Healing, can be equipped on party members to aid the process. Party members can also be swapped around from the "Party" tab in the pause menu. Experience is granted to party members, even if they are not in the active party or they are in another world.

AI customization

In the menu's "Customize" tab, the player can change their party members' settings. Each enabled action ability can be set to be used at a different frequency, ranging from "Free", "Well-Balanced", or "Rare". Like Sora, party members can enable Auto-Reload through a toggle for each item slot.

Also, each party member's behaviour can be set to a particular Battle Style:

  • Technic Attack: Party Members fight with their individual techniques.
  • Target Attack: Party Members concentrate attacks on Sora's target.
  • Huddle Attack: Party Members fight close to Sora.
  • Party Attack: Party Members will fight a target other than Sora's.
  • Sora Attack: While Sora attacks, Party Members will support him.
  • Relentless Attack: Party Members defeat their target before attacking another.

Members of the Organization XIII are automatically assigned as party members on certain missions. Typically, only one party member accompanies Roxas on each mission, although Mission 56 begins with two party members and Roxas works alone for many other missions. In battle, party members physically attack enemies and cast magic. In multiplayer Mission Mode, other players are displayed as party members.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

Party members only appear during certain events in the story, similar to cooperation characters from Kingdom Hearts II. Friendship Commands are most effective within a party, especially when playing multiplayer Mirage Arena. Enemies do not grant experience if it is defeated by a party member. Some commands, like Group Cure, support party members through restoration or buffs, while other commands, such as Trinity Limit, are attacks that deal extra damage with party members.

In some sequences, an ally must be escorted through an area of Unversed. A "Damage" gauge fills up when the ally takes damage, forcing "Game Over" when full.

In the company of a party member or escorted ally, Dimension Links are disabled and several Reaction Commands may be triggered.

Kingdom Hearts coded

Only two worlds feature party members in Kingdom Hearts coded, and they each use different gameplay systems.

In Olympus Coliseum's turn-based combat Labyrinth, party members perform exactly the same as Data-Sora, although "Game Over" only occurs if Data-Sora dies. Each party member has a different special attack and amount of health.

In Hollow Bastion I, Data-Sora cannot attack and instead issues instructions to his party members. In place of Attack, the Ask for Help command cycles the party members' focus between following Data-Sora, attacking enemies, and destroying Bug Blox. Deck commands are replaced with new commands that party members carry out; a deck command's type determines which party member executes the new command. Finish commands are disabled, except Spinner Ray which can be used when both party members have joined the party. If a party member's HP is reduced to 0, they can be revived by going to them and using Rescue.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

Spirit Dream Eaters act as Sora and Riku's party members and are synthesized out of Dream Pieces. They each have different stats, abilities, and Ability Link boards. The new Link System allows characters to perform powerful techniques with Spirits. Only three Spirits can be brought into the party at a time and only two fight alongside Sora or Riku. Spirit positions can be changed within the party by dragging their icons around on the touch screen. Experience is only awarded to those in the party. In the "Spirits" tab of the pause menu, Spirits can be placed in and out of the party. If a Spirit's HP reaches 0, it can be revived by using Rescue within 30 seconds; failure to do so results in the Spirit reverting back to a Dream Piece permanently. When selecting a New Game Plus, Spirits carry over with their stats.

In the opening battle against Ursula on the Destiny Islands, Riku acts as a cooperation member to Sora. Riku can attack with his Soul Eater and heal.
