Bard

This Character Class attracts roaming poets who wander from place to place, putting folktales and legends of heroes to music. They hand those songs down from generation to generation. An accomplished singer, the Bard is also a traveling specialist. Their INT and APR stats improve, and although they are not as accomplished as Mages, the can also cast spells. Because they have low strength they are not at their best fighting with weapons. As a Bard's level rises, he or she learns spells and skills helpful in adventuring and lending aid to their companions.

Cleric

This Character Class is for those who wish to become experts in holy divination. Clerics use power borrowed from the gods to heal the wounds of companions or drive away malicious monsters. They can not only use spells, they can also fight with weapons. As their Character Class Level rises, they learn mostly recovery spells such as Heal and HealMore. Because you need these recovery spells for the adventure to progess smoothly, one or more of your characters should master this Class. The acquisition of the important spells such as Vivify and complete mastery of the Class takes time.

Dancer

A Dancer uses many dances to support companions and fascinate and confuse the enemy. Their strength and defense are weak, making them poor at using weapons. Their best attribute is their quick steps, which can avoid the enemy's attack. As a character gains experience in this Character Class, his or her chances of avoiding and enemy's attack improves. Dancers learn mostly Support-type skills.

Fighter

With muscles tempered into weapons, this Character Class attracts a kind of person different than a Warrior. "Fightins" is the operative word. Fighters are characterized by their ability to perform one fast, superior, and satisfying hit when challenged. They also tend to attack before the enemy. While Fighters do not learn spells, they learn many powerful attack skills as their CC Level rises. Their rate of performing Critical Hits also rises.

Jester

This occupation is for artists who stand up tall, at the risk of life and limb, and throw out gags to get the enemy to laugh. Changing to this Character Class lowers almost all abilities although Appearance rises slightly. As your character rises in the Jester Class, he or she learns skills that have almost nothing to do with fighting. However, some of these skills are nothing to look down on. Even though it looks worthless, a Jester may prove very helpful.

Mage

Mages specialize in spells, learning many helpful spells for use in battles and exploring. This Class has a high INT stat, and its Max MP is boosted so Mage trainees can learn and use numerous spells. While the Mage's Max HP and GRD decline, if you place your Mages behind the lines, monsters find it hard to attack them successfully. While Mages mainly learn attack spells, they also learn Return, Outside, and other essential adventurer spells.

Mariner

These sturdy characters are hardened by time spent navigationg the harsh seas. All abilities are high, and HP and GRD rise faster that in other Character Classes. On land, mariners can exhibit their strengths as powerful fighters. While this Class's learned skills are mostly for fighting, the can also learn special skills that lend the sharp eye of a seabird. As their level rises, so does their resistance to damage caused by Tsunami and other Water-type spells and skills.

Shepherd

Members of this Character Class thend sheep on the plains. Because they constantly interact with animals, they have an easygoing demeanor. Not suprisingly, they aren't skilled fighters, so they concentrate on helping their companions in battle. Most of their spells and skills are special ones, such as Antidote, which is very important as it provides a cure to Poison. Woolguard is another spell that comes in handy during the mid-stages of the game, because it is the first skill you can learn that lessens the damage caused by ice breath attacks. Stampede is another great skill in the hands of one of your stronger characters. Another appealing reason for choosing this Character Class is skills such as Whistle and Slumber. Whistle allows you to summon momsters to battle. Because you must spend a considerable amount of time leveling up your character this skill makes your life easier. I recommend training at least one of your characters in this class. (Gabo perhaps?)

Thief

If you plan on thoroughly exploring dungeons and towers you must have a Thief. These exploration specialists don't mind going deep inside caves or maze in search of treasure. Their Max MP is low, so Thieves aren't very good at spells, but because they are nimble fingered, they get good results with weapons. As a Thief moves up the ranks, he or she can learn attack support skills and spells, and skills that are helpful in exploration. Of course, when they're really good, they can "acquire" monsters' belongings while fighting.

Warrior

A Warrior is a specialist whose occupation involves using a sword or axe in battle. This Class cannot learn any spells, but it does sport a higher-than-average Max HP stat and unsurpassed ATK strength. As their CC Levels go up, Warriors learn special attack skills such as SquallHit and DrakSlash. While these skills may not be as handy as those learned by Fighters, mastery of the Warrior Class sets up a character for many greater opportunities later.

Dragoon

As your Character Class rises, you can learn spells and special skills that mainly use the power of the wind and vacuum. You can also act as a shield to aid and support your companions.

Tamer

This hunter stays apart from others while traveling in an attempt to protect the monsters. Because Tamers constantly study monsters, they find it easy to recruit them. If you want to develop the Monster Park to its highest level, you should have a Tame in your party. As a Tamer rises in the profession, they become specialists in monsters and lean how to attack using air and gas. They also become even better at recruiting monsters.

TeenIdol

This Character Class requires you to be an expert at many forms of entetainment. You must first master the Dancer, Bard, and Jester Classes. As entertainment professionals, TeenIdols are tops when it comes to style. Sometimes an enemy is so surprised by their appearance that they forget to attack! As you rise in the profession, your dancing and singing improves, and it becomes easier to transfix monsters.

Advanced Classes

Godhand

Only those who prove their prowess in all weapon and combat skills can act as the master and ultimate wielder of divine deeds, the Godhand. Choosing to master both the Dragoon and Paladin is an obvious choice, considering that they have the least requirements, but the road to mastering everything required is tough and time consuming. Those who succeed can become a Godhand and strike awe in the hearts of even the most wicked monsters. Most skills and spells learned as a Godhand are very strong, and they help you considerably in the final stages of the game.

Hero

This is the ultimate occupation, open only to those who have the power to save the world. You can't become a Hero unless you first master three Intermediate Character Classes. The spells and skills you can learn are hard, but Heroes display awesome power. Another perk of being a Hero is that as your CC Level rises, you automatically recover more HP during a battle.

Summoner

This mysterious priest can easily change the weather or even cause the earth's crust to move. You can change to this occupation only if you first master the Sage and TeenIdol Classes. A Summoner learns many spells and special skills to harness the powers of heaven, earth, and lightning. You also use less MP as you advance through the CC Ranks. If you master this Character Class, the number of spells at your disposal will certainly help lead your party to victory.
