That's weird we had some people talking about how the "large cast of characters" was turning off people back when they first released on the PS1 era, like with Suikoden 1, 2, and Chrono Cross.

I remember those literally being selling points and people saying they were cool and good things. I mean, I enjoyed it at least, and from what I saw on the forums back in the day regarding those titles.

Different strokes. And it can depend. I mean, with CC, you have only 3 party members, at least 1 is forced at all times, if not more, and only a handful get real development. So seems like a waste to me.

Suikoden is a little better with 6 slots but usefulness varies wildly, some slots are still for required characters, and many don't get much development. But there are some things like the army battles that make use of more characters.
