Five-Man Band/Video Games O-S

Persona - This is assuming that one is playing both routes and making use of every available character at least once (It's worth noting that according to the sequel, this is exactly how it happened):


 * Note: The Chick is Talwyn Apogee, but she only has a part in the prequel.


 * In double role, Delta-1207 "Sev" is The Lancer and Delta-1262 "Scorch" is The Big Guy.


 * Note: That depending on who you play as, the Tokugawa can also be seen as Five Bad Band. (Ieyasu becomes Big Bad, Hanzo becomes The Dragon, Tadakatsu becomes The Brute, Kanbei becomes Evil Genius (yet didn't gain Sixth Ranger Traitor status), Ina becomes The Dark Chick, while Kiyomasa... still stays as Sixth Ranger Traitor)

Suikoden III


 * Alternatively, Mallow could be thought of as The Lancer since his cowardly personality is a foil for Mario's hot-headedness (think Mario and Luigi in later games) while Geno works as The Smart Guy - note his tendency to give logical explanations to his more emotionally-driven allies.
