MODERATORS

Create a party with any combination of 8 distinct classes.  
...and, when the time comes, layer on new classes! Each of the four tiers has its own set of 8 classes to choose from, with no restrictions on what classes can be chosen.  
No equipment restrictions! Go put that sword on your mage - but be aware that it might not be the best idea to do so.  
Explore well over a dozen dungeons, encounter over 300 types of enemies, and associate with a varied cast of characters as you travel the world.  
Enjoy many quality of life features, such as reduced penalties for falling in battle and obsolete skills being replaced.
