BurnKnuckle figured out the pattern. You can now add:

- Aranea, Cor, Iris, Umbra, and drowning noctis

I haven't tested other values. There could be more hidden characters. Umbra can even wield a sword. The spreadsheet has been updated.

Can you have all them in your party or just 1 at a time?

Also, while I was messing around I managed to remove Prompto and Ignis. I effectively was running on a 2 man team, so what I'm wondering is..

There must be a way to REMOVE all 4 and maybe fill the mandatory slots with 4 guest characters? Or is that too far fetch'd an idea?


Also!-
I saw the updated Spreadsheet but--
0B E9 99 F0 97 00 01 04 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 00
^ Araneas.

Are all the character's the same string? Or do we just have to change the second string-
Like for Cor, all I need to change is: 3F 89 CF A5 62 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 F1 23 ED
and he'll be there? Or is there a top number like Aranea also?

Not sure. The save references a "SavePartyMemberStruct" and we're changing the value. It's possible that some value will add them all however it's unlikely.

I think the struct points to valid existing party setups. At some point in the story, there's only 2 people (character side quest). I managed to delete prompto which was amusing.

Play around with the magic numbers. If you make any discoveries, post here.

Can & Will do, I'll see what I can find.

I have a discord for hacking on this:

Each character has two parts:

- The character code (F0970001 = Aranea). If this has "FF FF FF FF 03 01" then you'll need to update it. On some saves, it's set to "04 00 00 00 03 00" already. This makes the character available however it doesn't set them in the party.

- Next part is setting which character is in the party. Each character has an index (Aranea is 5).
3F 89 CF A5 62 05 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 F1 23 ED

Cor is 6:
3F 89 CF A5 62 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 F1 23 ED

You can search for "CF A5 62 FF" in the save editor to find this part quickly. With no guest character, the starting value should be "3F 89 CF A5 62 FF FF FF FF 06 00 00 00 F1 23 ED". Then the "FF FF FF FF" is changed according to the character index. "05 00 00 00" for Aranea, "06 00 00 00" for Cor, etc.

For most of these characters, changing the second part is enough.

Just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work guys!

So the real question we should all be asking now is: what is the value for getting Ardyn in the party? SW codes list him as a character, anyway. It could just be that he's only programmed to be a "party member" in the sense that he's included in the background at the level up screen during that one night he spends with the gang. Otherwise, if he can truly act as an active party member then it'd only serve as yet another middle finger from Square Enix in terms of cut content.

I figured out Ardyn last night. The spreadsheet has been updated. He's an active party member however he doesn't fight. You can assign him a sword to use.

For some of the characters (Ardyn, Aranea), there's an additional step required as described in the spreadsheet. Also sometimes there are multiple matches. I'd be cautious about using a quick code which could potentially corrupt the save.
