Editing Party (section)

==={{DQ11}}===
''See main article: [[Party (Dragon Quest XI)]]''

A total of eight different characters are available as party members, though one of these is a secret character whose identity as a {{Party 11}} member is hidden in-game until they actually join. The {{Party 11}} members join the {{Hero 11}} as the story progresses, though the {{Hero 11}} is separated from them at the beginning of the second act and must reunite with each (at which point they rejoin the party). Available characters may be swapped in and out of the {{Party 11}} at any time, both in and out of combat--though a character swapped into the active lineup in the middle of a fight cannot act until the next turn.
