No you don't, you control every character, you play as Sonic, you don't step into his shoes and play from his perspective
And each party member has a role they play in the game mechanics, classic final fantasy created the job class, etc
but the newer games you can build each characters role yourself instead of them being predetermined as knight, mage, or cleric, where were classic roles each character could play, so like in Final Fantasy remake, with the materia you can make any character a knight, a mage or a cleric
it's not that hard to understand
so whats the difference between Cloud and Kratos?
