That's because you're stupid.

If they stay together too long, they transform into Sephiroth.

They teleport to the town ahead, and hang around drinking and being merry. Until the main party shows up and drags them back into the whole "Save the world" thing. Poor guys.

You know, I will say, that FFX's battle system made sense in those regards. Like, only 3 people are fighting at a time, but the WHOLE PARTY is always at your disposal, cos they're all traveling together.

Well they are on a pilgrimage together, splitting up would be unnecessary. Also, if they all travelling together, why can't they just gang up on the bad guys? Is there some courtesy system in Spira where only three can fight at once?

I always thought it was weird that only three could fight at once... and if they die, it's game over. Wouldn't it make sense for the rest of the team to take over in case that happened?

Whenever I see this scene, despite the dialogue going on, a recurring thought goes through my head of "Why are these ghosts playing chess? How are my characters going to sleep comfortably? Will they spook me in the night? Can I kill them? Why isn't Aeris here if ghosts can just be around like this?".

That's why I liked FFXII's battle system; even though the whole courtesy system remained (Then again, it is a game so I'm not critical of the three person team) you could bring in your reserves, like an actual battle.
