Huh.

So we're doing numerical stat boosts after all, instead of based off ranks?

Naw. The stat boosts in the anime are a number. My plan for items was them being that they would say things like "Heavily increases STR", but the way that you did it is also okay. It's okay so long as I understand how much of a bonus it gives. Stats, of course, are just reminders to see how enemies react to what you do.

Ahh, so we can only play as EU classes?

For now. You can freely travel through the continents, so after some time, you may make a new character from China who walked all the way over.

Edit:
Also letting Ostarion see the characters before I accept anything.
