@Regalus: If you're going offensive caster, Mage is obviously pretty good as a class, especially with one ability I recall that can regenerate your mako points (which you only have so many in a level without using ethers) that you need to use your spells, but SOLDIER 3rd class is basically good at everything - sometimes even better at things the other classes should be able to do. I still think Sneak Attack should be available to Scout or Scoundrel rather than SOLDIER - they don't need to be stealthy, they have giant swords. Speaking of, don't worry, you can hurt Marc's feelings all you want - this is a playtest so criticism is welcome. Anyway, if you want a caster of any sort, just get something with spellcasting, remember to buy some blasting materia and you're golden. Just remember that true to the games, the more materia of the casting type you use, the worse your combat stats are. And I won't let you down opn the 'amusing-as-Knox' front of character design (hopefully)

Oh, and in case you didn't notice, LOOK MARC, I GOT YOU ANOTHER PLAYER!
