Hey guys.

I have about 18 characters in my game. You can swap between them pretty much whenever you want. What's people's opinions on party sizes? Is there ever such a thing as too many characters?

So, regard to having "many characters" I've opted out 3 characters from the team.

I think 7 for parties of 3 is enough. The other characters the team wants in, can just appear in the game randomly. happy.gif

I haven't told Star about this, but I'm sure he'd agree as the 7 I'm keeping are the ones he wants anyway. XD
