-fma are two brothers and their childhood friend -ib has two characters that can't part -mn would end poorly if the two were in different apartments -fsn are two people who work together canonically
fea is a game full of meeting strangers and getting to know them so there's little ic reason for them to all flock into the same apartments. if you're gonna whine about casts being together you should pick ones that have no ic excuse to live together like kara no kyokai or naruto.
nah i didn't. only the first gen fea characters tend to meet each other randomly, i'll give you that, but not all cause some support convos go into backstory. the 2nd gen kids all practically knew each other since birth and grew up together, on top of losing their parents and fighting off the end of humanity with each other. they are every bit as tight-knit as the other examples cited. it justifies severa and noire esp given how their supports go, but i'll give you that morgan's a loose screw no matter how you put it. pretty sure the muns did it for the justice club thing since even the cast itself icly lampshades how ridiculous cynthia and owain are while morgan encourages it, so idc. feel free to pick that one apart, my original point was to say i don't see how it impedes them from branching out, esp when noire and morgan have both been actively tagging out.
Anon, I don't see how this is different than FEA? It's their family and companions from a big bad future. They may not be related in all cases, but there's childhood friends there and people that have fought together, which isn't much different from your list of "ic reasons characters will room together". In the case of big horror game and not knowing what the situation is, it makes sense that the first thing the characters would do is try to get into a more familiar setting and keep their friends close.
I get the annoyance when big casts flood in because it can be overwhelming and obnoxious. I haven't seen them being insular, and I think as a whole they've been doing well tagging out. I admit that as the cast gets bigger that might thin out and I hope it doesn't, but as it stands right now I don't think that's what's happening.
