Is there a way to permanently change party line up?

I know you can change in combat on the fly, but I want to permanently change Shionne for Dohalim so that I don't need to keep switching every time combat loads.

If you're in the pause menu, you can edit your party using the E Key (I'm not sure what button on controller)

If you look at the bottom of the pause screen, there should be a bunch of button prompts that do different things, and one of them should say "Edit Party" or something along those lines.

It'll open up a different menu with the party members and you can freely switch who is in the active party, as well as who you start off controlling (Shown by whichever character has the flag icon on them)

Select then RB for controller. Then x on the person you want to lead.

In the pause menu outside of battle there's an option to Edit, where you can set up your team as well as your starting character during battles.

These suggestions are not changing the party line up *permanently* though. I also know how to switch, I want to not have to switch all the time and to have my starting line up consist of Alphen, Dohalim, Rinwell and Law. In that order.

When you switch in combat it switches for that *one* combat, and then it defaults back to Shionne as second in the line-up after Alphen.

So press the 3 --- on the controller to bring up the main menu, press RB to get to the edit menu, left one is the main party, right one is support member. If you want Alphen, Dohalim, Rinwell and Law, move them to the left, pick the leader you want and press X, the leader has a red flag on them.

The order of party member doesn't matter though? The edit menu has the numbers 1 2 3 4 in order of up, left, right, down of the d-pad if you mean that.

I don't want to change every single combat. I want to change once and for my party to run into combat with the line up that I want.

Everyone is repeating the same thing, which I worked out for myself.

It's surprising that such a standard JRPG party feature is missing from Tales of Arise.

That's what you do to permanently change it. Just make sure you're not in combat, if you're in combat you only change for that battle, if you're outside of combat it stays like that.

Now I feel sheepish, thanks for the comments . I noticed the Edit on the combat menu all the time, so I switched there first cause I thought that's where I would need to do it.

I also checked Google first and the only things that turned up were temporary changing of the line up in battle :X.
