On the left side you’ll be shown a summary of the stats and abilities, whereas on the right it’s purely about your appearance. Once you’ve selected your class, you’ll be presented with the overview. It doesn’t stop at just you selecting your character. You’ll be given a chance to customize the preset in almost every way possible, except for the innate Attributes and the gear you start with. Once you have chosen your character, things tend to open up for you. If you wish to play an elemental magic character, head for the Wizard, who is already setup to excel at using spells.

Remember, the real ‘class’ is actually in your head if you plan to play a Tank, choose a class with gear and initial Abilties/Attributes that would better suit a tanking role. However, it’s never too bad to have an initial precursor and foundation to work with, so you should try and choose your class according to what you plan to go with. This allows a lot of depth as far as building your character is concerned. So, you could actually choose a Knight in the beginning, and after a few hours make him/her into a hardcore Wizard.

Sadly, such turn-based RPGs are very unforgiving and demand technical and tactical prowess from the player, and a large part of your tactics and technicality is determined by what kind of character you have developed. It’s not shameful to admit that the flexibility and open end world offered by the system can be a bit overwhelming in the start, and it takes a good amount of time to become accustomed to the entire setup.
