Aside from the main cast, the game features many recruitable characters of which some are random encounters who just decide to join and others are integrated into the character's plot. However, no matter the case... not even if the character is a main character or not... all characters are present in 2 scenarios, hence when playing the game with a different character, you will unavoidably see both new and old faces. Each main character scenario has 9 playable characters of which you'll have to later pick 7 ones to take on each mission. However there is an exception: one single character is present in one scenario only (that being [[Ruby|Ruby's scenario]]) and that is [[Iskandar]]. | |||
Some of the characters are also split among other scenarios in specific ways. Each main character has another main character to recruit, with the exception of [[Laura]] and [[Armic]]; Laura has both [[Judy]] and Armic, while Armic can recruit no additional main | Some of the characters are also split among other scenarios in specific ways. Each main character has another main character to recruit, with the exception of [[Laura]] and [[Armic]]; where Laura has both [[Judy]] and Armic, while Armic can recruit no additional main character. In Judy's Scenario, the player is able to recruit her entire family, but in all other scenarios the family is split: Judy is in Laura's scenario, her father is in [[Ventus|Ventus']] scenario, her mother in Armic's, her brother in Ruby's, her sister in [[Mythe|Mythe's]] and her grandpa in [[Kurt|Kurt's]]. | ||
