*** Yukino can never be in the party at the same time as Maki, since Maki only joins you after you commit to the SEBEC route (by which point Yukino has already left the party and can never return). She also becomes mutually exclusive with Masao since they both leave shortly before the route split and only one of them will return depending on which route you take.
*** Reiji is an OptionalPartyMember who joins shortly into the SEBEC route and is totally unavailable in the Snow Queen Quest. Thus, he can never fight alongside Yukino (exclusive to the prologue and Snow Queen Quest), Eriko, Hidehiko, and Yuka (all optional party members who take up the same slot he does).

*** Reiji is an OptionalPartyMember who joins shortly into Due to EarlyInstallmentWeirdness, the SEBEC route and is totally unavailable in game has an ArbitraryHeadcountLimit where once you have a full party [[WeAreStrugglingTogether the Snow Queen Quest. Thus, he can never fight alongside Yukino (exclusive other members will refuse to join you]] in spite of the prologue and Snow Queen Quest), fact that they canonically all worked together like in later games. This means you have to choose between Eriko, Hidehiko, Yuka, and Yuka (all optional party members who take up Reiji with Reiji's recruitment being a ''massive'' GuideDangIt that requires you to go through a solid chunk of the same slot he does).game with less manpower.

Far as I know only one of Halsin and Minthara can be within the party, although both can live and either can be chosen. If I’m wrong correct this…


** ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIII'' had an interesting case with the SixthRanger Halsin/[[TokenEvilTeammate Minthara]]. Both were recruited in Act II by killing the other in Act I, but on release it was possible to recruit them both through SequenceBreaking. However, a later patch [[NoFairCheating enforced this]] by making it so that upon recruiting one, the other simply drops dead if left alive. As a result of Minthara's EnsembleDarkHorse status, the devs later went back on this and added ways for good-aligned players to recruit her; it's now possible for both characters to legitimately survive the story and join the party.
