Final Fantasy IV made party switching a pretty regular thing. Did you enjoy this or were you upset that your favourites kept getting taken away?
It was great, kept things fresh
I usually liked getting to try out some new party members
Didn't bother me either way
It was a bit inconvenient
It just happened too often for my tastes
I hated it, stop switching my party members!

Surprisingly, I liked it a lot! You never knew who you'd end up with next and the party composition was actually dependent on the story, which was cool.
I enjoyed it, made me use characters I may not have bothered with only to discover how awesome they are, and it kept the game fresh throughout the adventure.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
I really liked how allowed for a little more gravity of the narrative. You could actually have bad stuff happen to party members, it made the whole quest seem much more epic.
That said, that kind of mechanic only works without a customizable party. If I loose a character I put a whole bunch of time into I tend to end up rather displeased.

I really liked it. It made us discover all the characters.
I liked it. It gave a lot of depth to the story. But I think it happened just a couple times too many.
I liked how the final party felt so optimal, that was exactly the kind of final party that I expected;
the main character, his powerful companion, the ninja-thief, and the best and most central white and black wizards.
Though I like the option to switch party members like in the GBA version, I do prefer the game switching party members naturally through the story. I think everyone gets good "screen time" in the original version.
Again, it was interesting to take other members to the final battle just to see all the different dialogue changes. I always like little stuff like that.
I have no idea. Just started this game on my Vita to play on my commute to work. I only have Cecil and Kain at the minute so not much switching going down
It was great abd not complete BS reasons to switch people put. Mostly.
and eventually every character was good. Though until cecils a paladim I think it was annoying as climbing mt ordeals woth 2 weak ass mages and another more hp less mp weal ass mage and a dark knight whos only way of dealing damage was to hurt himself. A thing that was nt even in the original.
It lets you get a feel for the entire cast, rather than sticking to "that guy/girl is p cool, i'm main them in my party".
I liked it.
YE RAGIN', AYE?
