Dragon Quest X will let you form parties with either live players or AI-controlled characters. On the live end, the game’s invitation system lets the invited player indicate how long they’ll be able to join, and players can automatically follow each other in the field. Players can support other parties who are currently in combat, specifically through a special command that boosts said party’s tension.

As for computer-controlled members, they can be used to bolster a solo player or fill out gaps in a shorthanded party. AI characters are recruited at the town pub, and will follow you in a line as in previous Dragon Quest titles. Interestingly, players can register themselves as AI characters for others to recruit. Your game session ends at this, and when you return you’ll be briefed on your character’s activities; any experience earned in this fashion will be kept.
