Yeah, Persona 3 I leveled everybody up, because you needed to make sure all your bases were covered for every boss fight, but in Persona 4 they added Defending, so you weren't totally screwed if you took someone who would be vulnerable. Characters I really liked just got left behind because it was more rewarding to keep them out
