The system of job

Inspired of Final Fantasy III , the system of evolution of the characters is rather particular, in the direction where the player can choose their job (and change some at will), among the following:

  • Job basic :
* Omni | Lord of the manor | Freelance . The character does not have of special capacities, and does not progress in its trade. On another side, it does not have restrictions of equipment.

  • Jobs coming from the crystal of the air, obtained in the temple of the wind:

* Knight | Paladin . The knight is a noble combatant who strikes extremely and can endorse the most solid armours of the play, which in fact a frightening combatant with regard to the physical force. He can protect his dying allies, to immunize themselves a few moments with the physical damage, to use two hands to handle the weapons in order to obtain more power, can equip with the shields, armours, swords.

* Monk . The monk fights with naked hands, which does not make it less powerful, on the contrary.

He can concentrate one moment in order to carry out an attack devastator, to cure himself a little, contrattaquer, to increase his vital potential.

* Black Magus . The black magus is a powerful user of destroying magic, whether it is affiliated with an element or not.

Its capacities enable him to see the weak points of the adversaries.
