History Main / HealerSignsOnEarly

** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'', the "main" character gets recruited as Yuna's guardian who, along to being able to summon aeons, is a WhiteMagicianGirl, and who will provide all the healing for most of the game.

** In ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe Fire Emblem: Rekka No Ken]]'', Serra, an insufferable WhiteMagicianGirl, joins Lin's party quite early and provide healing for the entirety of her chapters. In Eliwood/Hector story, she re-joins as early as the second chapter.

** In both ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne'' and ''StrangeJourney'', the first demon to join the hero is a Pixie with Dia.

* Even before the party learns magic in ''ChronoTrigger'', Marle, the first person in the party other than Crono, has her Aura Tech.

** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemRekkaNoKen'', Serra, an insufferable WhiteMagicianGirl, joins Lin's party quite early and provide healing for the entirety of her chapters. In Eliwood/Hector story, she re-joins as early as the second chapter.

* In ''VideoGame/Earthbound'', Ness, the main character, is a CombatMedic who learns his first healing spell as soon as he reaches level 2.

* In the ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' games, the main character will learn healing spells if he's good-aligned. Also, in both games, you have Jaheira, a Warrior/Druid, who can join your party very early and who will provide the very necessary healing spells you will need to get through the game (on top of that, in the first Baldur's Gate game, she and her husband Khalid join very close to level-up).

** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'', Penelo joins your party early and already know the Cure spell (she doesn't need to learn the licence for it). When you get separated from her, luckily your new party members, Fran and Balthier, know the Cure spell and First Aid skill respectively. Finally, when Ashe joins your party quickly afterwards as a guest, she also knows the Cure spell. Also, Larsa as a guest will provide an infinite supply of Potions and Hi-Potion in the American and European release of the game (in the UpdatedRelease, "''Internation Job System''", he instead joins with very powerful healing spells).

* In the ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' games, the main character will learn healing spells if he's good-aligned.

** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'', early-on after unlocking their powers, your characters are separated in two different groups, one with Lightning and Hope, and the other being composed of Sazh and Vanille. Hope and Vanille are join with the Healer role, and Lightning also unlocks it quickly on her path.

* ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' has Kratos join you before the first dungeon and even though he acts like the strongest warrior in the party, every player knows his actual role is to cast First Aid. At least until the WhiteMagicianGirl joins.
* ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'' goes all the way and just has the WhiteMagicianGirl be the first party member to join you.

* Immediately after the second boss fight in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'', Rydia joins you, bringing a Cure spell.
* In ''FinalFantasyVI'', Terra is the main character and remains a constant part of your party (other than the scenario where Locke and the moogles have to protect her) until the Lethe River. She has a healing spell. And when Locke goes on his own solo mission, he meets Celes before he has to do much fighting - she comes with one too.

* In VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiDreamTeam, the very first badges you get (literally right before the warmup boss in the first dungeon) come with a nice built in healing effect, that the game actually shows you how to use mid battle (basically acting like a free healing spell). Then the very second set of badges you get block damage for a set of turns.

* In ''MassEffect'', your very first squadmate (well, not counting [[LeeroyJenkins Jenkins]]) is Kaidan Alenko, who is incidentally the only squaddie with the Medicine skill.

* ''TalesOfSymphonia'' has Kratos join you before the first dungeon and even though he acts like the strongest warrior in the party, every player knows his actual role is to cast First Aid. At least until the WhiteMagicianGirl joins.
* ''TalesOfVesperia'' goes all the way and just has the WhiteMagicianGirl be the first party member to join you.
