Best RPG party size in games?

Whats your favorite max party size in RPG games? Most seem to use 3 nowadays, but that seems to be more or less just "7 did it and it was successful so we have to too".

4? 5? 3? what do you think works best and why?

1-6 had it right with four members.

Anything less than 4 is unplayable, only exceptions are BoF4 and FFX since they effectively have 7 active members

Four was always good for me. One damage dealer, one tank, and one healer, plus a fourth sloth to experiment with whoever I wanted to play at the time.

25. Anything less is brainlet territory

As long as it's 3 or 4 I don't care which, anything else would be weird though

>1-6
Uh, you do know that 4 had 5 party members, right?

If you have so many party members that out of combat they're crammed into the main character's pockets, you have too many members.
