Hmm...ANY RPG? I kinda wanna keep it fantasy-only, or even just sci-fi-fantasy hybrid (Xenogears, Chrono, etc), but... got a couple slots that free it up for some pure sci-fi characters lol. Maybe even modern-day setting for Wild Card? Guess this is a hypothetical multiverse anyway!

To give myself a challenge, I'll have no repeated...game! Was gonna say franchise, but, I really like a lot of charactes from the same franchise lol. But who knows, maybe no franchise will be repeated anyway. 🤔

Warrior - Kimahri (Final Fantasy X)
Wizard - Guile (Chrono Cross)
Cleric - Silque (Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia)
Thief - Noir (Persona series)
Paladin - Star Paladin Cross (Fallout 3)
Non-Human - Tali'Zorah nar Rayya (Mass Effect series)
Red Mage - Scherazard Harvey (Trails series)
Wild Card - Sten (Dragon Age: Origins)

(see what I did there with Thief and Paladin? "thief" was much trickier than just "rogue")

Okay, didn't repeat a franchise! Took some effort (sorry Gaius and plenty of FF, DA, and ME characters), but I enjoyed the challenge. The team is really growing on me. The co-leadership of Cross and Schera (Cross by title, Schera by sentiment). The muscle and stoicism of Sten and Kimahri. No real obnoxious characters.

Magus from Chrono Trigger can sub in for Guile (coincidentally, have some meta relation anyway!) and Panther or Queen or Fox can sub in for Noir.

Tempted to do a FF-only team and a non-FF team (non-FF would just shift Sten to Warrior and put in Zer0 from Borderlands in Wild Card). Buuuut... the FF-only team may be even more difficult, given how many characters I love and how many aren't "pure" classes.
