The discussion moves on to party roles, highlighting the traditional setup of a tank, a healer, and two DPS characters, and questions if this is necessary for this game.
The importance of Mages as support casters is underscored, noting their crucial role in providing buffs, healing, and occasional offensive spells.

An ideal party composition is suggested, consisting of a Fighter, Archer, Magic Archer, Mage, and Sorcerer, while acknowledging flexibility in party setup. The game allows for various configurations, such as having all Fighters or Mages, that can still succeed if managed well.
