I imagine they'd stick to the one eccentric character thing. It seems to be something they do, and I doubt they'd just randomly change something like that.

Also, I like anywhere from 6-10. It just depends on the quality of the writing etc. I'd rather have 6 good ones than 10 alright ones. And then there's the obvious fact that you can only have so many people in your party anyway. To be honest, I always hated that. If you've got 6 mates all striving for the same thing, why don't they all fight? Just seems silly. Silly in terms of real life logic, not in game terms. Makes sense for a game, I guess.
