So, I've seen everyone in battle now... I shall judge mostly aesthetically, as I haven't seen enough to fully deduce all of their battle styles.
Spoiler: click to toggle Matthew looks really cool, just as you'd think. Plus he's just like Isaac and Felix, excellent in near every aspect, so he's definitely in my main team.
Karis is HAWT. 8D She looks really cool too, and it seems she'll be a Spellsword like Ivan. He was pretty strong when given a Tisiphone Edhe, so I imagine Karis will be the same. I'll have a hard time choosing between her and Stella, really.
Tyrell is pretty cool, but I must say I like Eoleo more. Standard warrior fare.
Rief isn't all that spectacular, imo. I like his official art better, if I'm to be completely honest. Looks like he's a Mia clone, battle-wise too.
HARUMANIIIIIIIIIII~ Probably my favourite new character, I LOVE his design. Looks so cool @_@ I can't quite tell if he's Warrior or Mage though... maybe a mix of both? =o
Stella is badass. Her beast form is ludicrously powerful. She looks cool too! Will have a hard time choosing between her and Karis.
Eoleo looks so badass you have no idea. I think he's Warrior-based, but his Psynergy lineup is very similar to Jenna's so perhaps a Warrior/Mage hybrid thing?
Himi... I didn't think much of her at first... but I recently found out she can equip swords. And when she uses them in battle, they look like KATANA. This alone will probably make it difficult for me to not use her in my team.
Overall... so far, I think I like this cast even more than the first two GS casts!

What, no Martian love? Don't need no Mars Adepts. Hell, if it was up to me, I'd use Himi for the whole game.

I'm also highly considering switching between every character throughout the game. After all, it's an entirely new cast of characters; I'd like to try out everyone.

I've become more fond of Himi recently... she's actually pretty awesome. Katanas are so much win, plus she's a Venus Adept, and the first female one AND Mage-style one at that, so she has to strike a chord with me Due to her element and ability to equip swords, I can see her being the Jenna of this game.

I've seen all the characters in battle, and so far, I really can't decide for sure who I want in my main team. I was thinking maybe:
Matthew Stella Karis Himi/Eoleo

Spoiler: click to toggle Matthew Eoleo Stella Karis
Himi isn't any good, she gets a couple usable Psynergy, light swords, and a single target attack buff that fully maxes the attack stat, however, she has beyond horrible all around stats, her survivability, not so good...and her damage with Psynergy not too impressive. I'd rather take Karis into my team over her.

Spoiler: click to toggle Yes, I own the game in Japanese and clocked the entire game now. Himi over a long period of levels [level 45-50], does not gain a sufficient enough stat gains to make up for her lack of longevity. She's got her uses, but stat wise, she is even worse then what Ivan was in Golden Sun 1. However, she does have the most impressive agility stat in the game, but that is all however... Edit: I used her base class, haven't gotten around to what other classes she can and what Psynergy she'd obtain/lose.

Spoiler: click to toggle Hmm, I see. The class system is the same as in GS1 and 2, correct? Perhaps if I put her into the Chaos Lord class...
By the way, how long did it take you to finish the game? Also, are Wonder Birds or similar monsters excellent for level grinding present?

Spoiler: click to toggle Chaos Lord would probably be a good class for her, however, there are new classes in this game...I just cannot read Kanji so it may take me some time to figure out the patterns to obtain them. A straight run play through could clock you in around 24-26 hours of game play, do the dungeons and other side-quests in the game and it'll probably look more like 32-33 hours of game play. Maybe slightly more if you are not use to the new types of puzzles that's included in this game. Grinding isn't difficult in this game, honestly. There's a place in the final dungeon that allows for excellent level grinding, I gained around 5-10 levels in no time for a quick grind. Also the class system IS the same in this title. However, we have a much much better variety of equipment/weapons now, and there is no longer single unleashes, each weapon with an unleash has 3 different unleashes now.

Spoiler: click to toggle Whoa, nice. That sounds awesome. So far, I'd have to say my favourite character is Harumani, how would you say he is?
Thanks for all the info, by the way!

Spoiler: click to toggle I'll list the characters from my personal opinion of best to least best:
1. Matthew 2. Stella 3. Eoleo 4. Karis 5. Harumani 6. Tyrell 7. Rief 8. Himi
Karis, Harumani, and Tyrell all are capable of taking your 4th spot on the team, from the top 4. Harumani however, is pretty good, good stats, decent physical damage, and an alright selection of Psynergy. However, Tyrell gets the Wish series, meaning Tyrell obtains Pure Wish. Whether or not Harumani would in a Pure Mage class, I do not know. Tyrell still out classes him in strength, Tyrell gets the Excalibur to equip. I could list my team with there equipment and the equipments effect for you if your interested.

Spoiler: click to toggle Yes, because of the Shinobi equipment included in this title, Matthew can have a 100% unleash rate with the Sol Blade. It is really really good and that alone makes him the best character. He gets revive, healing, and has the Ragnarok series Psynergy also. Matthew would never leave my party, personally.

Spoiler: click to toggle It's also nice to see more Rings that actually have an equip effect. That Bolo Ring looks like it could be monstrous. Agility x1.8... crazy! I really cannot wait for this game. Thanks for the info, dude
