I will say that the platforming is ny far my least favorite aspect of this game. Beyond that it's a really RPG and I'm looking forward to this LP!

A, more classes means more toys to play with!

Oh, and one tidbit I'd like to add: although Warrior's skills being weapon agnostic does make them a versatile subclass option, they'll still run primarily off of strength, so a lot of non-strength based classes won't get the full damage potential out of the skillset. The debuffs can still be useful, but a lot of them can also be applied by other classes too.

Edit: although almost everyone benefits from the stances! A rogue just needs Berserk stance and they can deal some massive threat-free hits! Every physical class can make a strong case for slotting in Warrior subclass just for Berserk, at least early on until more options open up.

Another perk to Mixed Magic is the status cure spell, Remedy, having a small heal attached. It's not major and single target only, but still a nice deal and has a nice synergy down the road from another class.

That and dual cast having drastically reduced cost makes Warlocks surprisingly solid supports and healers who can pitch in more specialized roles depending in subclass.

Hmmm.. let's go with A. Fancy stabbings and DoTs abound!

B, we may as well start collecting blue magic sooner rather than later. From what I recall it's very Final Fantasy in that there's a lot of ridiculous abilities you can learn, in both good ways, bad ways, and weird ways.

The game is GOOD, especially from a party planning/mechanical standpoint. If you were a fan of FF5 then this game is a good match in that front. The platforming focus is the big iffy point, and what keeps me from really enjoying it to the fullest extent. It makes me wish there was adjustable platforming difficulty options, such as not falling off platforms unless I jump/hold another button, to go along with the exp/gold/LP adjusting options.

But if you like platforming or otherwise have a strong tolerance for it and liked FF5, this game is practically tailor made for you. Well, that and if you like exploring/meandering.

Can confirm that the three weirdos will gently caress you up if you're stingy or poor yourself. They all launch an attack before running. I was broke my first time though and had a bad time in the undercity.
