CLASS CHANGES
They happen at levels 18 and 38, and you can either pick to go to the light side or dark side.
The light have more healing and defensive powers, and more people would want to talk to a messenger of good, while if you pick dark you gain strong offensive powers, but hardly any healing powers. And people probably won't be as talkative to you. Try picking light the first stage, and dark the second (or vice versa). You get a pretty cool character.

Now for info on each class.
Duran
Duran is an OK character. He has quite a high one hit attack power, but takes ages to recover from each hit. He learns a few saber and healing spells, but the healing classes are less favourable. Honestly, if you want to do his quest, pick Angela as she is a better character.
Knight-(Light)
Learns Heal Light and gets the ability to carry a shield. Lower power than the Gladiator.
Nothing much new.
Paladin (Light Light)
Duran's 2nd best class, gets Saint Saber, Heal Light, best shield and good fullscreen
power attack. His best Light class.
Lord (Light Dark)
Sucks. Heal Light, Tinkle Rain and a low attack power. Only good if you don't already have
a healer in your group, as he can multitarget Heal Light.
Gladiator (Dark)
Cool. Learns all elemental sabers, has good attack power, but no shield. None of his dark
classes gets a shield. A good starter.
Duelist (Dark Dark)
Kinda good, most powerful but useless (almost) Dark Saber spell. Is wuite good but
Swordmaster is better.
Swordmaster (Dark Light)
Best class, learns Moon and Leaf Saber, but hasn't got an extremely high attack power. Bad
thing is that he can't cast both of the Moon and Leaf Sabers on one person. The best
class.
Angela
A very powerful magician who may have a low attack power, but her magic spells make up for it. Learns five magic spells before her class change, and when she changes she gets powerful spells.
Sorceress (Light)
Better than Delvar as she learns more magic earlier, but crappy attack power. Uh,
generally stay away from the Light side.
Grand Deviner (Light Light)
Sucks so bad, I won't even tell you about it, except for Double Spell, which lets you cast
two spells at once at a heavy time cost. Plus, still a low attack power and she can't
multitarget spells!
Arch Mage (Light Dark)
The Deviner with different spells, and still sucks with attacks.
Delvar (Dark)
Quite useful with a good attack power, but only learns one extra spell (Dark Force).
Meigus (Dark Dark)
Most powerful magic user with Ancient and plenty other ones, but slow casting. Is still a
good choice.
Rune Master (Dark Light)
Best class, hands down. Has a cool Death Spell, only bad thing is that she can't
multitarget some of her good spells. The way to go with Angela.
Kevin
Definetly the best fighter in the game, and can also heal your party. At night he transforms into a werewolf which makes him more powerful than he is in the day. He also has more than one tech attack per class, which is cool. A very good choice.
Monk (Light)
His first light calss gets a heal spell and a spell which
makes him powerful through day. Good power attacks, but normal attack power is lower than
his Dark counterpart.
God Hand (Light Light)
The God Hand's attacks are pretty powerful, and he has quite a few good spells.
Make that one, Aura Wave. Still not the best Light class.
Warrior Monk (Light Dark)
Definetly Kevin's best class, although he doesn't hit as hard as the others. He
gains the cool Leaf Saber and the ability to multitarget Heal Light.
Bashkar (Dark)
No spells, but excellent attack power.
Dervish (Dark Dark)
Second strongest class, learns Moon Saber and has a good attack power. But not as powerful
as the Death Hand
Death Hand (Dark Light)
A brilliant class, though not the best. Best fighter, learns Energy Ball and becomes the
strongest wolf at night.
Charlotte/Carlie
Two names? Yeah, from what I've heard. Anyway, she is the best healer in the game and can also double as a good dark magic user. A fun character, learns Heal Light and Tinkle Rain before class change.
Priestess (Light)
Learns four elemental sabers, holy ball and the ability to multitarget Heal Light. She
doesn'r have quite a high attack power, but is a better choice than the Enchantress.
Bishop (Light Light)
If you pick her as your main character, this is the class to go, as the Turn Undead spell
is very effective. She also gets Saint Saber and more fun spells, at the cost of low
attack power.
Sage (Light Dark)
Pretty much sucks. She is just an improvement over the Priestess by getting multitarget on
all her spells.
Enchantresss (Dark)
Weak spells, weak summons, although her later classes are better.
Evil Shaman (Dark Dark)
Gets some pretty cool summons, and a whole slew of fun spells, with the best attack power
of any of her classes. But she doesn't really have any good things.
Necromancer (Dark Light)
Her best class if you aren't the main character. Gets the Black curse, cool multitarget
healing spells, and some crappy spells. A good choice, if not the best.
Hawkeye/Hawk
A awesome character, who is many people's favourite. He can attack twice in one swing, learns very good spells, and has the most variety of any character in the game.
Ranger (Light)
Gets a fullscreen tech, and a few weak traps. He isn't very powerful, but his final
classes make up for it.
Wanderer (Light Light)
Not much attack power, but gets heaps of caning spells. An OK choice.
Rogue (Light Dark)
Many different skills make this class a favourite. Good attack power, but some of his cool
spells are weak.
Ninja (Dark)
Better in attack than the Ranger, and has a few cool ninjitsu attacks.
Nightblade (Dark Dark)
My favourite Hawk class as he gets heaps of cool jitsu style attacks , a great tech and he
looks pretty damn slick.
Ninja Master (Dark Light)
Gains no more skills over the Ninja, but he can multitarget things, throw multiple
Shurikens and has the highest attack power. I still like Nightblade better though.
Lise/Riesz
Another two named character! Good at fighting and has some pretty cool stat changing
magic. Pick Light, it upgrades your stats, and Dark, it downgrades the enemies.
Valkyrie (Light)
Learns some stat-up spells, but she can't multitarget them. Rune Maiden is a better
choice, but her later classes make up for this.
Vanadies (Light Light)
A CRAPPY class. Only good thing is her awesome fullscreen attack, but all her spells are
pretty lame.
Star Lancer (Light Dark)
A very impressive class with probably the best summon in the game. Only bad thing is that
she doesn't have a fullscreen tech. This is her best class.
Rune Maiden (Dark)
Better than Valkyrie, but only just. Good spells, attacks, and nothing bad.
Fenrir Knight (Dark Dark)
Best Dark class, and has some very good stat-down spells as well as a cool summon.
Dragon Master (Dark Light)
Pretty much sucks, and nothing much is good with here. Vanadies in Dark mode.
