I would really like to know if any RPG fans love the obscure SNES game Paladin's Quest. This game was one of the first "one-handed" rpg's. All the battle commands could be done with the D-pad. I loved the game so much because it was in a completely unique world, the entire game was in pastel colors, and magic spells take HP to cast, so HP takes on a whole new meaning. You also have mercs as partners and they never gain exp. You switch partners when they are not useful to you anymore. Such a good game!

Paladin's Quest is one of the most underrated SNES RPG's, it had a huge world, lots of party members, and the HP-as-MP mechanic wasn't that bad. In battle it would allow you to attack with any body part which I thought was awesome at the time!
It even came with an enemy chart, similar to FF1's (what happened to those?).

I didn't mind DQVII as much as others have been saying, guess I got lucky with my skills/jobs as I didn't need to grind forever. It wasn't really too bad for an old-school RPG, which I was looking for at the time.

About the monster classes: I totally didn't know about them until after beating the game, just sounds like something they put in for completionists. It could actually hurt your development of your "real" class as you have no way of knowing which ones are good ahead of time.

Funny that no one mentioned those easily missable shard pieces you needed. I think I had to hit GameFAQs for one of those I couldn't find for the life of me.
