Were there ever any RPGs other than Suikoden and final fantasy 4 that had a party of more than four at a time? It seems like four or three is universal, with a few exceptions like dragon quest/warrior 1 with one person and the mario & luigi series with two
Breath of Fire 4 did this an interesting way. Your party had up to 6 people in it, but in battle you had three active members and three in a hidden "back row" who didn't actively participate, but you could swap people around as needed. I thought it was a good compromise between having a large party all together but not wanting the battle to get too crowded (physically or strategically).
