Clarifications:
- Possibility to modify (during play) the character or characters to suit your playing style or preferences is irrelevant.
Limitations:
- Gender choice is not enough, they have to be separate characters.
- If the different choices are character "classes" or "jobs", then this should not apply either. However, do consider the possibility of one character per class instead of one character with a number of class choices.
Tentative limitations: (a.k.a. may need to be discussed)
- Vs Fighting games should probably not apply as this is the norm in them.
If these characters are tied to different storylines that overrule each other, use alternate campaigns alone instead.
