Some people have been saying that the fixed party and leader is actually beneficial. Since the games difficulty gets ramped to the high heavens at the end of the game. It will be easier for you since you control all the characters sometime within the game it helps with strategy planning for later on.
The fixed party/leader doesn't bother me. I'm just glad that I DO get to choose who I want for the hunts and final boss/etc..
