MASSIVE CHANGE!
Current Location: Val Castle
After an hour of grinding hapless statues, I've undergone tons of changes.
Bartz: Blue Mage -> Bard -> Red Mage
Pros: Practically everything...at least the bard went quickly.
Cons: LONG wait till Dualcast
Lenna: Black Mage -> Red Mage
Pros: Access to healing (along with Bartz and endless potions, my problems are gone)
Cons: Red means very little when I already have mastered Black.
Galuf: Black Mage -> Time Mage
Pros: Access to buffs/debuffs
Cons: None (mastered black means death to all)
Updated Party
Bartz: Red Mage (subsets: singing/blue)
Lenna: Red Mage (subset: black)
Faris: Hunter (subset: blue)
Galuf: Time Mage (subset: black)
Interpretation: What a difference an hour makes. My party has bent to become offensively efficient, has multiple healers, and versatility in nearly every magical area. If I get Dualcast in a reasonable time (not likely), I could be unstoppable.
