Did you leave Asch off for spoiler reasons? I really don't see any other reason to leave him off when you've got people like Alisha on the list.

He's far more important in his role as a supporting character than as a party member. Compared to his time spent in the party, he spends way more time off doing his own thing as a driving force behind some of the plot and roughly an equal amount of time being an outright enemy.

Alisha probably gets about the same screen time as a party member as he does (although I do think she has him beat by a little bit), but the difference is that when she's not in the party she basically doesn't exist in Zestiria. Even when something happens in relation to her she rarely actually appears, she's just mentioned.

In other words, for these sorts of fringe cases, I basically made my decision based on whether their most important role story-wise was as a party member or something else. I feel like if I'd included Asch, I'd have had to include Richter too, and that definitely didn't seem right.
