Assembling a team of four characters defines how you play, as the combination of classes you recruit is vital to your group’s success. You must hire the right people and carefully shuffle them around to craft the best party possible for challenging missions.

Party crafting is something you can customize multiple times throughout a playthrough. You can recruit characters fromdifferent classes inDQ3 Remake, then leave them behind if you want to pick up someone else later. Your roster can change greatly as you encounter new challenges, bosses, or story events that force you to adjust the make-up of your team.
