The master of combat! He can use most weapons and even use dual-weapons and two-handed weapons. Nothing less from a character called Fighter. He is unable to use magic, but he can use some magical accessories.
Elf
Demihuman race with a surprisingly long lifespan and knowledge. With their ability to use swords and sorcery at the same time, their low constitution is their only weakness. The Elf is second best when it comes to attack magic.
Dwarf
Dwarf is one tough cookie! Maybe it's just me but it seems bosses are killed a lot faster when I've got Dwarf around. He is unable to use magic, but he can use some magical accessories.
Magic-user
Magic-user is the best at casting magic and learns the most powerful spells. As usual with magic-focused characters, his strength and stamina are considerably lower than all the other characters. His magic is very effective against normal enemies but must be used repeatedly against bosses. Magic-user's disadvantages balance out if he's teamed up with someone like Fighter.
Cleric
A battle saint who seeks his God, his recovery, and fighting supplementary spells is something vital in a party play. Though not entirely useful when playing this game with Mame and its infinite coins. I don't like Cleric, his mace doesn't seem too effective in battle.
Thief
Here is an expert adventurer who can open chests and detect traps. To avoid any dangers before they take place is their best technique. Not as good at fighting, but this is overcome with their dexterity. Thief is unable to use magic, but she can use some magical accessories.
