How do you rate the characters so far, gameplay wise?

[Detective]

I suspect that eventually we'll have to choose which characters we'll bring up to missions (we already will have to do that for excavations outside the school)

So, how would you guys rate them?

Kodaka has said in an interview that all 15/16 characters will be fighting at the same time. idk if that should be trusted tho, seems like too much unless they greatly expand the school battlefields.
I think the demo already said that you can only take 4 characters on an expedition tho.

We'll definitely need a bigger battlefield if you want all fifteen characters fight at the same time.
More action points too eventually down the line as well, so that more characters will have the opportunity to shine.

Edit: For example, in the last battle of the demo, I only used Eito for his ultimate attack, and nothing else.

Pretty sure there will be limited on field or an alt system where you can quick-swap characters or bundle multiple characters into one unit/squad that shares stats and abilities.

The combat is braindead easy anyways, that's not what we're here for.

The characters are classic and I'm enjoying how they're being less reserved than they were being in D3 with cuss words and crude sex and potty jokes thrown out without apology.

The cast so far is pretty great, overall, the perfect mix of weirdos. What will make or break the game is the resulting story and mystery of the game, they really fed up with D3 so they have a lot to make up for and well if they can't then they deserve to be shut down.
