WHat's with all the weird DRAMA TEXT in this game?
Anyway, I'm gonna bust through this game and I have MAD QUESTIONS:
1- Can you grind? I thought the game said something about random encounters, but I can't seem to find any.
2- How do you use Rune Lancers/Valkeries? I can't seem to make them effective- His melee stuff is useful, sometimes, but it's weak. And it says he has attack magic, but his Fire Magic is like 1/2 as powerful as anyone else's. Sucks.

Re: Grinding
You can, but as far as I know it's not necessary to complete to the main quest iirc. It works just like FFT, click on a far away point on the map and you'll trigger a random encounter during one of your steps eventually. If you want to trigger a battle in a specific location, just go back and forth between it and an adjacent point. Bear in mind that towns (ones w/shops) won't trigger battles.
Re: Rune Lancers
I don't think I've stuck with them long. They were useful early on because their class movement type is "swim," so they can traverse water without the need for extra swimming skills. They're proficient in spears, but so are a few other classes, and spears are only useful late in the game when you start getting ones that has the 2-3 range (instead if 1-2) + passive skills.
In this game you can make anyone proficient with a type of weapon or magic (if their class allows it) by purchasing and equipping the weapon/[magic]-augment skill, then raising its skill level. But I'm pretty sure that classes still differ in base stats, regardless of equipped skills, though the the differences are probably less pronounced at early levels. Lancers' magic stat is on the lower side compared to other magic users, and can only use a limited selection of elemental magic, like basic offense and elemental buffs.

still the best game this year (so far)

Solved my Rune lancer problem by turning him into a Beast tamer, lul.

I finished the game without converting a single character into a tamer, except for the story character. They're mostly useful when you start capturing beasts (duh), something I didn't bother with :-[
(Same goes for the other two(?) tamers)
