Guess I did the right thing not bothering to retry to log tonight.
I still haven't decided what job to take to 50...I started with archer because it's one of the two needed for mecha. I have rogue on 18, maybe I'll try to be ninja if the gameplay is decent.
When I tried the game a few times before having it myself I tried monk and bardcher only, the former was kinda fun, but I dunno if I wanted to try something different.
It really depends on if you want to deal with positional attacks or not and close range or long range attacks
Ninja has 1 positional (rear), Aeolian Edge
Monk has 6 at 50 I think
Bard none
Bard and rogue/ninja are good jobs to take to 50, not very difficult and lets you enjoy the content without getting frustrated
