The number of party members on your team has been increasing with each new game released. This is sort of obnoxious to me, since I'm the type who likes a large, diverse cast (Which is part of what I loved so much about FFVI). When I realized the party only had six member in FFXII (Smallest group since FFV), I was none-too-pleased. But now, with just five characters appearing in the recent trailers, now I'm even more concerned with how small a cast they plan to use.

So, what do you guys think? Think there are going to be more characters to play here, or is this the final party? And how do you guys feel about large vs. small casts of characters?
