| In some role-playing video games there is no distinction between "healers" and "offensive mages", therefore a slightly different approach can be more useful.

Mental problems (just kidding!): addicted to role-playing videogames, addicted to making tables and lists, addicted to StrategyWiki.
Dislikes: acronyms ("unnecessary haste"), loanwords (enjoy one language at a time!), hypenations ("punctuation placeholders"), nouns used as if they were verbs (Calvin & Hobbes teach: "Verbing weirds language").
13 May 2013: I'm particularly proud of this cookie, because not only it was the first guide I completed, but also the first one I started! I pretty much did 90% of it. Anyway, I'm asked to add more images to it.
March 2015: I added all the required images.
Thanks again!A little thank you… For ... Wooooo! Congratulations on completing such a guide on your own! That's a major accomplishment! Buckets of cookies for you, sir. --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 00:59, 26 March 2014 (UTC). Hugs, ~~~~
I'm proud of this for many reasons. First, because it required more effort than the one above; second, because I felt redeemed from some trouble I caused, and it closes that chapter; third, because it is now the most complete guide on The 7th Saga available on the web; fourth, because if it was a less obscure and less unforgiving game, it could be nominated for Featured Guide.
That text is the result of a lazy localization team, it's still not correct. Following an incorrect example is still incorrect. Procyon 05:15, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
Since one of the owners wrote it, I will enforce it. If a localization team made a mistake, I will report a corrected text instead.
I prefer old video games
I definitely like the good old ones.
Role-playing games cleared since joining this website:
These are the diagrams I originally made to understand the professions in Ultima 3, and later found that can be applied to any role-playing video game.
Legend:
Top: characters with no magic powers;
Bottom: characters with great magic powers;
Left: characters with healing magic ("white");
Right: characters with offensive magic ("black").
In some role-playing video games there is no distinction between "healers" and "offensive mages", therefore a slightly different approach can be more useful.
