I decided to restart at 25 hours in, since I wasn't building some of my characters right. Best practice is to class up as soon as you hit the level. Higher classes offer you better stat growth. For example: If you wait until level 8 to change to a beginner class you'll lose out on three levels of beginner class growth. I had two or three characters at level 19 and they hadn't reached their intermediate class yet. They also didn't pass their beginner's exam until levels 8-9. -_-
It should go much faster this time, since I won't be running around talking to everybody. A lot of my time on my first time with the game was spent just letting the characters talk, so that I could enjoy the voice acting. This time I'll just be mashing A on needed conversations, and skipping talking to people entirely.
