For beginners at this game, I would strongly recommend against any repeating of characters, such as multiple Fighters in the party. The reason is fun. Several new players have been bored by such a choice, unnecessarily, and didn't enjoy the game.
Sometimes players do parties with multiples (like 6 Fighters or 3 Bishops) for a particular challenge, but that's different.
It is horrible advice, IMHO, to tell a new player to repeat characters in their party. There are also special items in the game that only certain characters can take advantage of, so by limiting characters, you end up playing less of the game than if you play a variety. Battle strategies become stagnant. I don't even believe the term "easy" should be applied to such a party when it's boring.
