Up to 8: Slots Come from the Main Party and Reserves
The cap on monsters carried into the full game is 8, all drawn from the demo's main party and reserves — to take a monster along, simply assign it to one of these two parties.
The scope of the demo carry-over is these 8 monsters and the demo reward; you begin the full game by selecting Start New Game.
How Far the Demo Goes
The free demo's content runs from the start of the story through the conclusion of the Witherwood incident. During the demo you can experience recruiting monsters, raising monsters, and monster synthesis; the monsters you can befriend are G-rank and F-rank — the candidate pool for your 8 slots lies here.

Preparation to Do Now
1. Align Platform, Account, and Device
The carry-over conditions are: the demo and the full game must use the same game platform and the same account, played on the same console or PC. For PC players this comes down to three things — the same computer, the same account, the same platform. Steam and the Microsoft Store count as different platforms: for a demo played on Steam, continue with the same Steam account on the same platform in the full game.
2. Keep Your Demo Save
Keep the demo save data for the full game to read.
3. Assemble the Main Party and Reserves
The 8 transfer slots come from the main party and the reserves. Assign the monsters you most want to bring along to these two parties; once the full game unlocks the depot where monsters are stored, you can call on them.
Carry-Over Steps After the Full Game Launches
The following is the officially announced procedure, to be followed once the full game releases:
- Launch the full game on the same platform, same account, same PC.
- Select Start New Game at the title screen to begin a new game; the demo reward is claimed via this entry point.
- Progress through the game until the depot is unlocked. The transferred monsters enter the depot at level 1 with default talents; once unlocked, you can add them to your party.
After the carry-over, the monsters' starting point for growth in the full game is level 1 with default talents.
