Each character, except the Main Character/Hero, has a cost to be in your party and you cannot go over your max cost limit.

For Example the first 3 characters you get (Kain, Marina and Melchida) are 1* that each have a cost of 2. Also Greg that you also get in the Tutorial also costs 2. This brings your total Party Cost upto 8.

Most 2* Ranked Characters, like Dusty and Patricia, each have a cost of 4. 3* Characters typically have a cost of 8. 4* usually have a cost of 12 and 5* characters can cost either 16 or 17. There are some exception to these general costs but they are not common.

So for example at Rank 2 you have a 25 party cost limit which means you could NOT have 2 Super Super Rare (5*) guys in your party right off but could only use 1 and a bunch of weaker guys.
