It does look difficult… She wonders if there's some way they can make the controls easier.

"Yup! Ulala and I went all the time, back in high school. Hm… I liked some of the survival ones, seeing how far we could get through the levels. Some are a more standard heroic character, and others are about surviving and returning a barrage of fire."

She peers over Eleanor's shoulder again, curious. "Huh? A clown class? What does that one do?"

She nods along while listening to Maya. "That sounds fun! I've never been to an arcade." They're more rare in the day of personal computers and mobile games, but she's heard some exist in the city. If only she could've gone...

"Clown is a joke class," she says. "The stats are terrible and most of the time they can't attack or anything, but you can upgrade them to a Sage later on, which is the most powerful class in the game."

rip eleanor you would have loved dark souls

Eleanor can't help but giggle at that. She kind of loves it, all things considered. The idea of making it harder for that kind of payoff sounds really appealing even if it is just this. She lingers on the clown's class page for perhaps longer than she should, considering it.

"...what do you recommend for a beginner?"

That's probably the better option, considering she's sharing with Maya too. Unless Maya wants to watch her struggle.

"Maybe you'll be able to go someday!" Assuming she gets the opportunity, of course. "It'd be fun!"

Joke classes, huh? "So it makes the run more challenging for yourself…. I can see the appeal!

"For a beginner, though, I'd recommend a balanced set of skills. Is there a position that takes more attacks?" She glances at Noelle to see how she answers. "If so, put someone with tough defences there. And then, someone with strong attack abilities, and someone who can heal. And then…" She hums, watching Eleanor. She seems pretty taken with the Clown class… "How common are healing items?" It's probably possible to take one joke class along without a lot of trouble, even if it does make things difficult.

sorry for the delay!!

She nods at Maya. "Yeah, the ones in the front of the party are more likely to get hit, so you want characters with high HP up there. A Warrior is pretty bulky and can deal some strong physical damage."

She does her best to help Eleanor select the options she wants, perfectly happy to explain the controls and take over if needed. "For a beginner... after the Warrior, I'd definitely have a Priest to heal. They can also take a few hits. Then, it's pretty standard to have a magic user and a fast character, so maybe a Mage and a Thief. As a bonus, the Thief can help you find treasure when you're exploring."

She gives Maya a knowing grin. "But if you want a Clown..." She can tell that Eleanor is tempted by the idea, and she thinks it would be very funny. "I know some tricks to get lots of healing items fast. You could probably replace the Mage if you're up for the challenge."

As she's helping Eleanor with the controls, it comes time to name the characters. "Since the Warrior leads the party, maybe you could name them after yourself. Ooh, and then you can name the Priest 'Noelle', and the Thief 'Maya', and if we go with the Clown..." She thinks for a minute. "Bigby? Fahahaha!"
