Trials of Manawas originally released in 1995, and it is part of along line ofManagames. Square Enix redid the classic game for the Switch, giving it new life and new graphics, but many things remained the same in this classic RPG. One of the many things that Square kept the same as the original is being able to change classes with each character in the game.
Classes Overview
Square Enix seems to be on a mission to rerelease many of its old, successful JRPGs, like therecently-releasedFinal Fantasy 7 Remakeand theManaseries. But unlike theFF7remake, players will find that class changes inTrialsto be much more of a trial. There are a lot of choices and a lot of possibilities for classes.

Players ofTrials of Manawill find that they will be able to change classes at level 18, level 38, and in post-game. At level 18, each character will be able to choose between two different classes, one dark and one light. The dark option does more damage while the light option will focus on utility. Once the characters hit 38, they can choose between 4 classes.
Similar tounlocking all the hidden abilities inTrials of Mana, upgrading levels inTrialsisn’t as straightforward as players might hope.
Tier 2 Classes
Tier 1 classes are the classes that characters start the game with. Tier 2 classes are available as soon as they hit level 18. It shouldn’t take too long to get to level 18 if players aregrinding in an efficient way to level. This upgrade is automatic.

Tier 3 Classes
Unlike Tier 2 classes, players will have to do some special item hunting to be able to upgrade their characters. The Tier 3 classes that will be available to a character will be based on which Tier 2 class that character currently has. Unlike some ofTrials of Manasecret bosses, these items should be pretty easy to come across while playing.

Resetting Classes
Trials of Manaalso allows players to reset classes. This brings the character back to Tier 1 so they can change their paths from light to dark or dark to light. This is great feature for players who are worried that they won’t like the classes they’ve chosen. It’s one of the best upgrades to this newManagame.
In order to change classes in one ofthe bestManagames ever made, players will have to have a Goddess Scale. They can be found in the last dungeon of each character’s story quest chain. It will be after Zable Fahr. Several more of these statues can be found in the post-game Anise’s Stockade. Once a players has a Goddess Statue, bring it to the Mana Sanctuary. This will reset training points, shortcut commands, and all gear will be removed.
There are limited number of these statues in the game, so make sure to use them thoughtfully. With each change in class or character, players can change the game. With all the amazing possibilities and combinations, it’s no wonder that thisJRPG earned a reboot.
Trials of Manais available for PC, PS4, and Switch.
