So here’s the tentative planned party lists for Tales of the Eclipse. Complete with my inane reasoning. I try to go with the most relevant characters when possible, although sometimes it’s not 100% possible when every character below the main two has almost equal billing, or I have to go down a bit to fill the quota and I need to get characters I feel would work best with the plot I have...

Phantasia...Cless/Mint/Chester/Arche/Klarth The OG 5! Really...that’s the main reason! Suzu and Rondoline were added in later revisions, so I went with the characters in the plot from the start. Besides, you’ve got the two main pairings and the Summoner. We will need a few Summoners (who will probably get their Summons in-story by having some sort of item that any Summoners in the party can use...either having a few basics usable by all and you equip a ring that lets you use a major spirit for a Mystic Arte, or just allow any Summoner to call on whatever rings in your possession).

Destiny...Stahn/Rutee/Leon/Philia/Woodrow Swordian Masters! Who else would be the most important characters in the story? Besides...I have a few skit ideas (crossover or otherwise) for the first three, while the last two tend to get skipped.

Eternia...Reid/Farah/Meredy/Keele/Ras The Main 4 need to be in there! While Ras is more there to be involved in the group of royals. As I could think of less ideas for plot with Chat and Max (even if they’d be funnier). Though if I could think of ideas, the fifth slot might change. Prolly just stick with this, though.

Destiny 2...Kyle/Reala/Loni/Nanaly/Harold Mostly to avoid trying to figure out what to do with Judas and Leon in the same place. The first three are already here via a time traveling accident while the last two are gonna be represented by alternate present-day versions ala the first Radiant Mythology. And since the story isn’t going to be the same as original Destiny, Leon wouldn’t end up in a situation that would lead to him becoming Judas.

Symphonia...Lloyd/Colette/Genis/Zelos/Sheena Yeah, one of the more debatable as I go back and forth as whether or not I want to trade someone out for Raine. However, we have the Iselia Trio represented and Zelos can act as one of the nobles there for the conference with Sheena as his unfortunate bodyguard (as she can handle his shit). Besides...Zelos can get into a lot of trouble with his flirtatious ways and the many strong girls in the party!

Rebirth...Veigue/Eugene/Mao/Annie/Hilda Hilda’s mostly there because she tends to get shafted so at least she can be in this. Hell, she can converse with Genis and Arche about the trials of being a halfbreed. While we can’t leave Cat Dad and his two adoptive children out!

Legendia...Senel/Shirley/Will/Chloe/Norma Yeah, the first characters that would be in your party. As poor Moses tends to be comedy relief outside his Character Quest, Grune would be the same without her in-game story, and I don’t think I could use an info broker like Jay. Plus, Will can join Keele as the Only Sane Men in the research facility, Norma can get into treasure hunting antics with Rutee, and Chloe can converse with the other Knights or the other Swordswomen.

Abyss...Luke/Tear/Natalia/Jade/Guy Luke and Natalia act as nobles going to the conference, while Tear and Guy are acting as bodyguards for them (Guy due to his connection to Luke, Tear just hired). And we can’t miss out on Jade and his epic trolling! Also...going with Short Haired Luke because I’d go crazy trying to do Long Haired Luke!

Innocence...Ruca/Ilia/Spada/Ange/Hermana The first three are a power trio so they have to be together. As for the other two...I just liked them the best! I wanted to again avoid the new characters since I don’t want to figure out dimension hopping (we already have to get time traveling to work with the Destiny 2 cast).

Vesperia...Yuri/Estelle/Rita/Judith/Raven Really wanted to put in Repede, but eh...as I’m working with a RM style class system the series’ only animal character wouldn’t really fit into anything. Plus, I really wanted to include all the girls (as I really love them all). While Raven is mostly there because of the ohmygod mess that would be him and Zelos teaming up and getting blasted by a few of the easily irritated members of the female cast!

Hearts...Shing/Kohaku/Hisui/Beryl/Chal Yeah, Chalcedony is only in the Remake. But unlike the other Remake characters, he travels with your party even in the Original! And he could represent his beloved Paraiba-sama in the delegation! Plus I want to see him and Leon interacting since I swear he’s an expy of the little brat! While the first three are almost a trio at this point (with all the comedy that comes with it). Beryl also plays off all three of them well so yeah...

Graces...Asbel/Sophie/Cheria/Hubert/Pascal The first three are a trio and ohgod after their scenario in Rays is full of amazing family fluff! Pascal’s there because I want to see her and Harold explode shit. And Hubert plays well off her, as well as his brother.

Xillia 1+2...The six Xillia 1 characters/Ludger/Gaius/Muzet/Julius Because there aren’t enough new characters in Xillia 2. Still get 10 characters for two games. Julius is here because A) he tends to get invited to these side games alongside his brother and B) like with Leon and Judas, I’d rather not give myself a headache dealing with trying to reconcile two Millas!

Zestiria...Sorey/Mikleo/Rose/Dezel/Alisha I figured I’d limit the Seraphim just to not have to go with trying to play with how they’re being seen (some characters are magically sensitive enough that I could buy them seeing them, but not the entire cast). So the three humans, and the two Seraphim connected to two of those humans! There! This was easy enough to deal with! Even if I like Edna and Lailah better than some of the characters I did add in! Alisha also works well for the delegation while I can see Rose (as she’s a noble assassin) getting involved due to the intense danger the situation involves.

Berseria...Velvet/Laphicet/Rokuro/Eleanor/Magilou In a similar vein, let’s just go with all the humans and one Malakhim connected to one of those humans! Err...I’ll think of how I want Velvet and Rokuro to have been daemonized at a later point!

I do debate adding in Escort Title mainstays with Emil and Marta to represent DotNW and Caius and Rubia to represent Tempest. Or the Link Main 5 (Lippy wouldn’t cause problems like Repede due to being a spellcaster). And maybe some Rays characters once it ends in Japan and people translate enough for me to do shit (though I can take early game Ix and Mileena if not)!
