Haha. Welcome!
Your choice of class doesn't matter all that much in the end--it affects your starting stats and gear and nothing more. You're perfectly free to start as a soldier, pump a bunch of points into your magic stat, and end up with a perfectly competent mage on your hands, for example.
That said, the Royal class does the best job of easing you in to those early stages of the game: it comes packed in with a spell or two and a ring that gradually regenerates MP. Kinda lets you keep a safe distance from stuff that wants to rearrange your face while you're getting used to the mechanics of the game--then again, if melee is more your style and you want to work towards building that, maybe getting spoiled by that advantage early on isn't such a good thing.
It's no cakewalk either way, but I think most would agree that magic users have an easier time overall than pure melee.
