Abstract: An example of an information processing system moves a plurality of non-player characters in a virtual space according to movement of a player character. The non-player characters are allies of the player character. The information processing system performs a first control corresponding to a non-player character, according to a second operation input performed by a user in a state where a predetermined positional relationship indicating that the non-player character and the player character are near to each other is satisfied. The non-player character on which the first control is performed is set as a designated non-player character. The information processing system performs a movement control for the plurality of non-player characters so that a distance between the player character and the designated non-player character among the plurality of non-player characters becomes shorter than a distance between the player character and any normal non-player character.

Abstract: An example of an information processing system, when a player character is positioned at least on the ground, moves a non-player character being an ally of the player character in a virtual space. When the player character is positioned on the ground, the information processing system executes a first control associated with a predetermined character being the non-player character, according to an operation input including an input that is performed in a state where a predetermined positional relationship, indicating that the predetermined character and the player character are near to each other, is satisfied. When the player character is positioned in the air, the information processing system executes a second control associated with the predetermined character, according to a third operation input of the user, regardless of the positional relationship between the predetermined character and the player character.
