Haha, I will take that as a compliment caninelegion. But I have to agree with Stabbey here, "That would be ascribing far more importance to this thread than it deserves."
This thread shouldn't receive any special treatment, mainly for being all speculation. Even if I was right about all my assumptions so far, it is still just a theory made by a fan. And there are still many more experienced fans out there that would disagree with my theory.
I think the developers don't even want this archetypal party to stand out too much for the player. If there is a "Perfect Party" in the game, then why would anyone play the others, right? They want the player to feel like any party will be perfect.
"Just pick your favorite classes and stereotypes and you can enjoy the full game". Sadly the game is not exactly like that, but they tried really hard to make it happen. I like the conclusion that they arrived at in the development of the game. 👌
