Other RPGs with full party creation:
* Ultima 3 (but not the rest of the series; Ultima 3 also has the best class system in the series, but that's not saying much)
* Avernum series, also Queen's Wish series
* Realms of Antiquity (this game actually gives you a choice; you can create just a Hero and recruit companions, or you can create a party of 4 (but no Hero))
Also Dragon Wars and Wasteland 1
Not quite. You get to create everyone *except* for the main character.
Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark (an SRPG) has some pre-made characters (including the protagonist, who must be used in most story battles), but you can recruit (almost) as many generic characters as you want, and you can change the classes of story characters. (Also, if you have the DLC, you can recruit monsters and customize them.)
Crystal Project (platformer/RPG hybrid structured like a 3D fixed-camera metroidvania) has full party creation.
