It does not make sense to recruit all 40 or so mercenaries if all throoughout the game you are only going to use 6 characters.  The game would be great if you can use more than 6 characters as long as you have them on your team, that way you can level them all up at the same time.  It be great to have groups of archers, fighters, and magicians at every battle.  Every mission you go thru your always outnumbered.  Even if one of your member goes down to retreat your more than likely to be defeated in battle, you can't call them back to battle or revive them and your FG ability is gone.  I stopped playing the game after a few days of playing it.

It is pretty frustrating to work up to a level 4 BF to save for the last group or last General, only to have a player wipe right before you can use it.

It makes the game much more challenging though and forces you to keep an eye on all your character's health. 

 

I have no problem with only having the six characters because I've been playing games like this since Shining Force on the Genesis!

I think the battles would go on too long if you had many more characters than 6.
