A third new character class is available to be unlocked through the course of the game, the Pet class. As its name suggests, Pets are animals that behave as party members. Big, scary animals, like bears.

demi buying this day one?  :o

Such an awesome game, but I never got past the 27th floor.  It required me to retire all my characters and I just couldn't do the grind again. 
Anyone saying the game isn't a grind is either
a) Full of Shit
b) Extremely lucky in how they set up their skill points
c) Spending way too much time letting Gamefaqs do the work for them.

Anywho, this is Day 1 for me.

the only correct answer is a), you'll have to 'grind' to beat bosses regardless of how well you spend your skill points. the quests are nice in this regard as you can often gain levels, sweet items and gold without actually mindlessly grinding.

So yes and no...
