'''Party Chat''' is a feature of the series first introduced in the seventh title. It allows the player to speak with members of the party to get their opinions and insight on current circumstances at the press of a button after a cutscene or speaking with an NPC. This allows for the personalities of playable characters to be greatly fleshed out at the player's own pace without the risk of lengthy dialogue scenes bogging down the flow of the game. Quirks, idiosyncrasies, and the hidden sides of characters are revealed smoothly through party chat. | '''Party Chat''' is a feature of the series first introduced in the seventh title.
