FF6 solved this, you had to split your part members into 3 groups for the final dungeon, then the final boss had 3 parts, each part you used a different team
>>
>>344918565
I'm replaying FFX on PS4 after all these years since I never beat it when I was young and stupid.
The ability to swap in battle works really well with the amount of party members you get.
Really gives you the option for multiple strategies.
I actually realized how good Kimahri is.
Tidus being the main character does almost feel useless since he doesn't have a real role like the others.
>>
>>344920120
they did something similar in suikoden 2, where you had 3 parties of 6 trying to kill one dude
if you only trained one main team of 6 at that point you were pretty boned
i think 5 also had it during the final part of the game

>God tier
5 or 6 - Allows maximum versatility without getting overwhelmed.

>Ok tier
7+ - Gettin' a little big here. Becomes a pain to manage such a large posse.

>Mid tier
4 - Limiting, but allows some flexibility. Unless the game requires a lockpick and trap disarm drone, then you know who number 4 is going to be.

>Shit tier
3 - Horrible. These games are always boring because you always need the 3 core roles.

>>
>>344921054
5 or 6 is terrible specifically because of the versatility. You shouldn't be able to cover all your bases.
>>
>>344921054
4 Works out pretty well with the Tales games, you notice in Star Ocean 5 it became a clusterfuck with so many characters.
>>
>>344921773
So a regular turn based RPG?

>>344921826
2 dps of different flavors, tank, cleric, wizard, archer (or 2nd wizard)
games with fewer party members usually just consolidate the roles so it ends up covering the same amount of bases anyway

Grid based combat, you retard. Usually called SRPG. Final Fantasy Tactics, Fire Emblem, Disgaea etc.
>>
>>344918565
suikoden 2 sucked for this.
the worst part was that every pair only has a single dual skill.
>>
>>344922131
No. Have you ever heard of Final Fantasy Tictacs? If not, why are you such an underage faggot and why do you refuse to play one of the best TRPGs out there? A normal turn-based RPG is something like Dragon Quest, a TRPG is grid-based with unit movement.

I like 7+ myself, especially if every character is unique and has a specific use.

Tried it on a game where you would recruit characters and it is... not good.

That's because magic would be even more OP than it already is if you could wear the most powerful defensive gear.

the issue with anything over 4 is that you typically don't have anything that's actually demanding. you fight a rabbit turd monster and just completely wreck it with 6+ party members.

also, anything over that amount and it might as well just be a srpg. there's not enough balance.
