[QUOTE="Vigilance, post: 4170961, member: 4275"] Final Fantasy III for the DS has a lot of what you're looking for. 4 party members (eventually, you start with one, but expand quickly). Dozens and dozens of classes (with many more classes opening up as the game goes on). Matter of fact, my favorite part about the game is the way you can mix and match dozens of classes, making a party of any combination you desire (you could have all fighters, or all clerics, or any mix you want). Again, you start out with few class options, but have dozens by the end, so it does a good job of adding complexity (not that I think someone with your rpg savvy will be getting overwhelmed or anything). No grid, but turn based combat. Nice dungeon exploring, with a mechanic to zoom in, able to see less of the map as you move, but with the added ability to notice secret doors. And the characters are definitely ultra cute. So it has some things you listed as wants, and some things you listed as not-wants. But it's a sprawling, 60+ hour RPG in the palm of your hand. [/QUOTE]
