Set roles like Final Fantasy 4 where Kain is dragoon, Cecil is a dark knight, Rosa is a white mage, etc

Set roles. I find this gets me to use characters I sometimes wouldn't and for me it ends up being a better overall experience.

Final fantasy V. Changeable classes for the win.

I like characters to have a unique class or ability in addition to some degree of customization.

Set roles. Kimarhi was my least used FFX party member. Frog in chrono trigger - while my fav character - was my least used member.
Mind you its fun to craft a party but I like each person having a role. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. http://i.imgur.com/ILz2ZbV.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

depends on the game as either can be really great. currently playing tactics ogre reborn on switch and for srpgs changeable classes are best but for turn based rpgs the set roles are generally better imo

Like FFV, classes.

I like a little guidance in my RPGs ngl. Give each character their own pool of classes tailored to them that's cool with me. But I don't want every character to be able to be a white mage or something.

I prefer in between! Like, the character who's a fighter when you recruit them will never be a mage. But depending on gear and skill choices, they could fall anywhere in the range between aggressive DPS and dedicated tank. Likewise, the mage will never be able to tank, but you can choose whether they focus on damage or crowd control. I suppose if I have to choose between "set roles" and "full customization", I lean more toward the former~

FFV by definition lets everyone be a master of everything, so this seems contradictory.Yes but you have to choose a set job (Unless you Freelancer cheese but that's another issue) Jobs have an identity. games like Skyrim where you can do everything at once is the systems I don't like. --- http://i.imgur.com/6VeX04D.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7T2OR-O2Vk ...

Depends on the context of the game. I like the customization/options such as in the Elder Scroll series, however I also don't really mind JRPGs which typically have pre-determined roles such as healer, fighter, etc. The only time that is really an annoyance is if there's a very small pool of say healers and they're largely disappointing.

Wizardry style is the sweet spot IMO. Create your characters however you want but they can't change (much) after you're done.

All games should have the maximum amount of customization possible to allow people to play them however they want. With that said, they should also have default options for people who just do not want to deal with that.

Still, your stance is weird, because people who like rigid roles typically criticize the latter Final Fantasy games for their everyone can do everything design, and nothing epitomizes that more than FFV. The jobs have an identity, but theyre completely ephemeral and assignable to anyone and everyone. Its not very different than magic feeling less cool in FFVI because everyone can do it, or material / GF abilities being interchangeable between characters in VII and VIII. --- https://store.steampowered.com/wishlist/profiles/76561198052113750 ...

Set roles. For example it was a big improvement in the FFXII remaster. I remember in the original you were a bit overpowered if you decided to make almost a full party of melee characters.

If it's a group I want set roles. If it's just my character that shit needs to be fully customizable and leave me some wiggle room for making corrections in skills and stats later on, once I have gained a deeper understanding of rhe game and it's systems.

I like FF4 but I also like 6 and 7 and 8 and 9 and 10 and Tactics, A1 and A2 and those all run the gambit of how role oriented they are. Liked FE Sacred Stones and Awakening and Blazing(?)
