As the Title says, how many do you think is too many?
Currently, my main cast consists of three characters, with an optional fourth. However, with how the story is being written, there is a lot of room to make other faces that appear/are set to appear, party members.
Currently, there's a lot of depth to each character. I use Yanfly's Class Change Core, and Subclass plugin. With how I've rigged everything, each party member has their own Primary Class, which through leveling and stuff, branches into about 5-6 total Primary Classes, and about 8-12 Subclasses. Which then leaks into about 30-ish skills for each character. (The skills are still undecided, as I haven't figured out if I can lock them in to only being used when that class is the class in use or not)
Right now, I do wish to have more than just four party members. I think if I add more, I'm gonna have to cut down on all the possible classes and stuff. Maybe. I think that adds a lot of depth to the characters, as it even gives little bits of insight into who they are as characters.
On a side note, is it possible to up how many people can be in the battle party?
