HUNTERS The "Hunters" (You'll see at the top) Are very balanced. With a good idea of magic,strength,blah blah blah...but there defintly good with the Sword/Saber type items.The health are nice but there TP could use some work. But realy the best magic you would want for a Hunter would be Resta the healing magic. If you want to be a bit stronger but not be able to use magic...( not fer me) you gonna want an android. They use traps (a self explainatory) and are VERY good with hand-hand combat! Choices--- 1.Human 2.Human 3.Android 4.Android ?*~*? RANGERS The Rangers are the gun guys to put it in lamans terms. There TP is not all that good and once again should have a Resta tech before to much exploring. The guns I find are a good way to get in of a room and get out of a room. 'cause of there quickness and strenght guns are a good way to win! There hand/hand is ok (but if your into hand to hand combat pick a hunter) and there magic is at a low so if your surronded your basicly...well....dead! there I said it...As a Ranger you should ALWAYS carry a sabber or have a nice spread magic attack. Choices--- 1.Human 2.Human 3.Android 4.Android ?*~*? FORCES (YAY) The Forces! yippie yahoo! Theese are my kinda guys and gals! The Forces may lack in the Defense and Attack (Unless you equip with some awesome stuff) but there magic is threw the ROOF! Now me and my buds all play this on 3 player and I am personally the strongest but it's beacuse of my magic. There both Rangers and I'm a Force. They both shoot with "Mechguns" and do about 100 I shoot with a magic tech and do 110. But trust me...they've saved my butt plenty! The forces personal weapons of choice are the Canes,Staffs,and Poles. And if you get your hands on a high level Pole with the word "Dark" in front of it your in business! The Drak Pole is what I use and it's Specail hit (wich misses 1/2 the time :'( ) will kill in 1 hit..and if I miss I retaliate with a swift magic attack! SO Force ( In My Opinion ) is the best (even if early in the game they die easy) I hope this helps with your decision on what charcter to pick
