Felt Blanchimont
Felt Blanchimont
Voiced by: Wataru Hatano (JP), Spike Spencer (EN)
- Book Dumb: Felt learned Mana Synthesis pretty quickly, but was more interested in combat/sword-fighting to learn true synthesis and become a full-fledged alchemist such as Viese.
- Blue Is Heroic: Felt wears a blue coat and wields the Azure Azoth. By contrast, the villain Chaos wears a red coat and has the Crimsom Azoth.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: Felt, at least when it comes to alchemy. One of the reasons he's Book Dumb. He also takes to blacksmithing really well, but only learns because Hagel wouldn't let him not learn it.
- The Chosen One: The master of the Azure Azoth and the only one that could resolve the crisis at hand.
- Cool Sword: The Azure Azoth. It's a Soul Jar that contains the essence of a former alchemist.
- Conveniently an Orphan: Felt is an orphan, and thus don't have to tell his parents that he is going to save the world by traveling to an unknown land by himself and taking a magical sword with him.
- Fish out of Water: When he arrives in the lower world. As he points out he didn't know what was beyond it, so he couldn't really have grasped the situation and it nearly gets him killed from heat stroke when he lands in the desert.
- Hearing Voices: He was the only one that heard the voice of the Azure Azoth when the Mana Holy Grounds started vanishing.
- Heroes Prefer Swords: It made him the odd man out in Eden where there's nothing to fight, but that just made the people of Eden genuinely grateful when he stepped up to take the Azoth and go figure out what the hell just happened.
- I Owe You My Life: Because Noin saved him in the desert, he decides to join her for a good portion of the issues with Simsilt.
- Idiot Ball: After defeating the Empire, Felt decide to check the Gardo Continental Drive in Altena Church, before going back to Eden, without telling anyone. After a nun tells him that Chaos is in there, Felt decides to go by himself, despite knowing that the Crimson Azoth has dangerous petrifying powers. As expected, it doesn't end well for him.
- Idiot Hair: Much like Klein, a single strand of his hair sticks up.
- Jumped at the Call: Felt had been trying to pull the Azoth from the stone it was trapped in nearly every day for several years already. He didn't just jump at the call, he'd been picking up the phone and yelling impatiently at the dialtone almost daily for years now.
- Kid with the Leash: Felt, keeping the Azoth in check (a fact for which the world should be infinitely grateful).
- Mystical White Hair: Has silver/light purple hair and is the chosen one to wield the Azure Azoth and save Eden. Also, from Belkhyde perspective, he is from another world.
- Spell Blade: His Mana Strike skill.
- Taken for Granite: Chaos petrifies him to get him out of the way, using the full power of the Azoth. Viese had to create a stronger item to free him.
Viese Blanchimont
Viese Blanchimont
Voiced by: Miwa Kouzuki (JP), Michelle Ruff (EN)
- The Ace: Viese ends up being the most skilled alchemist in Eden, as she successfully makes many pact with Manas and learns an forgotten ancient language and menages to synthesize very rare items to help Felt.
- Brainy Brunette: Brunette and brilliant to be exact, able to read the ancient writing lost to the modern age.
- Combat Medic: Viese becomes the party's main healer after joining, and she also can defeat enemies with her Mana Items.
- Conveniently an Orphan: Like Felt, she is an orphan and lives independently. Late, she also adopts Iris.
- I Will Wait for You: When Felt has to go the other world, she's left at home waiting for him. Mind you, when he doesn't come back she decides to go find him herself.
- Nice Girl: She's nice enough that she allowed Iris to move in with her upon learning she has no one else.
- Primal Fear: She fell from a high point in Weathervane Hill when she was a child, leaving her with a fear of heights.
- Sixth Ranger: Viese is the last addition to the already established party, and joins very late in the game.
- Supporting Protagonist: Justified, as Viese is in Eden, and thus can only help Felt in his quest by making pact with Manas and creating items for him.
Noin
Noin
Voiced by: Megumi Teranishi (JP), Jessica Straus (EN)
- Bare-Fisted Monk: She fights with her fist during battle.
- Camp Cook: Also a Lethal Chef, though she does improve slightly over time...

- Ms. Fanservice: Noin goes around in what amounts to a sports bra and hot pants, plus boots and single heavy gauntlet.
- She Cleans Up Nicely: Noin, already something of an Unkempt Beauty and Ms. Fanservice, gets a brief makeover. She lets her hair down, wears a shoulder-baring (among other things) Little Black Dress, and gets her makeup done. Everyone is gobsmacked. It doesn't do much to change her behavior after the initial embarrassment wears off, though.
- Stripperiffic: She plans to fight the Empire's army wearing nothing but a small bra and shorts that barely cover her legs.

- Boisterous Bruiser: Gray ends battles with a hearty laugh.
- Breath Weapon: His Fire Breath skill.
- Cursed with Awesome: Even though he wants to break the curse that made him half dragon, it has given him powers he would never have had as a human and since he is famous and his story is widely known, he is accepted everywhere so he doesn't even have the excuse of being an outcast after being turned into a monster. Near the end of the game after he kills the one who cursed him, he says its better he didn't change back as he would lose all the dragon powers he gained and they will need all the power they can get to fight Palaxius.

Theodore
Theodore
Voiced by: Yoshimitsu Shimoyama (JP), Richard Epcar (EN)
