12 is a decent number, since it allows you to have two of the same color in the party
1. Serge (White, main character)
2. Pip (White, while not really necessary, he uses a quirky mechanic character since he evolves, which I think sets him apart as a unique character)
3. Lynx (Black, should have maybe been made redeemable or saveable, central to the plot)
4.Harle (Black, already becomes an ally, could have still be the character that dies, akin to Aeris)
5. Leena (Blue, childhood friend, which is already a strong theme in chrono trigger as well, good magic user/healer)
6. Fargo (Blue, alternative thief character if players didn't want to use kid or at least as an alternative to kid when she leaves for a chunk of the game, could have made his ship the main traveling vehicle)
7. Kid (Red, integral to story, and good thief character)
8. Janice (Red, for the furry audience pick, well received)
9. Glenn (Green, best Green character, has a developed character that's central to the others with dead brother, legendary swords, etc)
10. Razzly (Green, great magic user, central to the poison swamp story and fairy islands)
11. Poshul (Yellow, same with Leena about being a childhood character, could also be animal mascot if not pip)
12. Norris (Yellow, there's not really too many great yellow characters, but he's got a gun, which is a pretty unique weapon to most of the cast, and if the war between the two nations is an overarching plot that they could have developed more with Norris)
