The Hero levels up slowly but is fairly well balances, with his stats favoring HP and Defense with the rest being average. The Hero also learns several offensive and defensive spells, some of which are the best in the game and unavailable to other classes.

'''Goof-Off''': This class is useless in battle. Not only do Goof-Offs ignore battle commands, but their stat growth is terrible with the exception of Luck. However, a level 20 or higher Goof-Off can be promoted to the Sage class without having a Book of Satori.

'''Sage''': The ultimate class. Sages learn every spell of both the Pilgrim and Wizard classes and have much better stat growth than either. Further, Sages can equip relatively strong armor and weapons, which makes them powerful both as physical fighters and magic users. However, a character may only become a Sage by using one of only two Books of Satori in the game, or by getting to level 20 as a Goof-Off first.

'''Thief''': This class was added for the remakes and is the most well-balanced class. Thieves have high Agility and average stats everywhere else. They can equip unique weapons like Whips and Boomerangs that hit multiple enemies, and can equip decent armor. They can also sometimes steal items during battle and will learn several unique spells that are useful outside of battle.
