Partner machines

GHX-005, also known as 'Pete'.

Red: Online specific information.
Blue: Offline specific information.

Partner Machineries (パートナーマシナリー), or PMs (パシリ) for short, are floating pet robots, and can be found in the player's room. In Story Mode, Ethan's PM is called 'Pete', but in Extra Mode and Network Mode players are able to choose and change their PM's names. A PM's Luck is equal to that of Female Cast characters.

PMs have several functions, including:

• Item Storage (~300 items)
• Item Synthesis
• Engaging in combat as a sidekick (fourth-stage only)
• Providing plot information and hints (Story Mode)
• Shopkeeper (Online)

PMs have specific attributes, as well:

• Striking - indicates the profiency in synthesizing Melee Weapons
• Ranged - indicates the profiency in synthesizing Ranged Weapons
• Technic - indicates the profiency in synthesizing Casting Weapons
• Armor - indicates the profiency in synthesizing Armors
• Production Level (max. 100) - the sum of the four attributes above; PM evolution occurs as the Production Level rises
• Battle Stat (B St.) or Combat Level (max. 100) - dictates a PM's efficiency in combat (presumably only AI and chat lines?) and is rumored to increase overall synthesis proficiency; the increments for its EXP bar increase upon Mission completion, depending only on the overall resultant rank.

• S rank: about 25%
• A rank: about 15%
• B rank: about 10%
• C rank: about 5%

To increase those first four attributes, PMs can be given 100 items before becoming 'full', after which it will take 12 hours before they could be fed again. They refuse to eat Synthesis Boards, Grinders and Presents. When the Production Level reaches a designated point, the PM will "evolve" into a new form that varies according to the individual attributes that contribute to the Production Level. These distinct PM evolutions each specialize either in Striking, Range or Technic; there are none that specialize in Armor. Battle-usable evolutions have associated combat behaviour and equipment. Not much is known about their combat stats, other than that they are dependent on the PM's form and Combat Level.

Only the leader of a party may summon his or her battle-usable PM to combat. The PM is capable of taking damage and dying like any ordinary player as well as reducing final trial rewards through death. PMs affect experience gain in combat in the same way ordinary players do. The PM has no means of healing itself outside of Force spells, area affect items and returning to town. Battle-usable PM's have the luck score of a female cast.

The item PM Device ZERO is used to reset each of the PM's stats to zero. Although the PM will reset it's level and any advanced form will be lost, the storage remains unaffected.

Fourth-Stage PMs

When PMs evolve to their fourth stage, they will become usable in battle and will grant their owner their own Partner Card to call upon them at anytime. In any party only the PM of the leader may participate. Like NPCs, PMs will automatically revive in a minute, but unfortunately their deaths affects Mission results nonetheless. In battle, a PM is always ten levels higher than their ownerAs this increases, they will become more powerful like regular characters would. A PM's Production Level and Striking, Ranged, Armor and Technic stats do not have any influence on this.

Independent

*According to my experiences with a GH-420, The PM will run off on its own if an enemy is within its sight range..

It will also attack enemies if the enemy attacks her..

~Thanks to Lunatari(Xbox 360) and Mia(Xbox 360) for spotting this out with there GH-420(Rabbit! and -) ^_^

Support

*According to my experience with a GH-450, It will support the party by casting jellen numerous times.It will also cast resta for the master unlike other NPC.
 

~Thanks to Tahldon(Xbox 360) for letting me view his GH-450(Hina Ichigo) ^_^

With group

*According to my experiences with a GH-430, "with group" means it fights the 
  same monster as you do(mainly you can just hit the monster once and it  will chase it) and or your alternate NPC(2nd NPC if added)

With owner

 *According to my experiences with a GH-410, the PM will stay by your side until a enemy is within its striking distance. 

Great for shielding because if the enemy approaches you,your PM will fight it.. ~Thanks to Zerdo4(Xbox 360) for letting me view his GH-410(Zerda2) ^_^

Currently Unobtainable PMs

There are currently 28 unattainable PM evolutions, linked to 'PM Evolution Devices'. For example, using a 'PM 411 Device' on a GH410 will evolve the PM into the corresponding evolution. It is unclear whether one would need multiple devices to obtain, say, a GH412. Details about GH305~7 and GH461~5 are still unclear.
