flame this not fellow spammers!

I have a serious question to ask!

If I were to make an activebattle RPG with set characters, what would you say would be an appropriate cap on characters, and how many should be able to fight at one time?

Including enemies, or PVP?

just playable character limits. enemies will be plentiful, as in possibilities of huge swarms, to none in sight.

3-6 would be reasonable

I'm thinking of 8 or 12, plus possible non playable characters for certain events of the game.

I'd normally say focus on quality rather than quantity.

But after playing paper mario 2 my view has changed a bit. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

8 norm max sounds fair. Vary it upon the situation, tho. ;o

8-12 is kinda cumbersome, especially if you're the type like me who usually only use one party throughout any given game (given a choice of party members like in FFX ;o)
