Here's another bit of what I consider incredibly critical information that doesn't get talked about that much:
Hireable party members with unique features. I've read advice in this thread saying stuff like "dwarf monk is the best" and I'm just thinking "The monk from Brave Town adventurer guild has Counter+Death, so that makes her objectively superior".
Anyways, here's a list of all hireable characters with remarkable features.
Best story mode party looks something like:
Frontline:
MC (probably fighter, for access to most equipment and ability to consume Minotaur Poleaxe)
Sonya Human Monk
Marianne Dwarf Lord
Rearguard:
Sharon Elf Valkyrie (polearm or other M range weapon)
Max Thief/Assassin
Lieselotte/Comet

| Location | Name Race Class | Unique Features | My own comments |
| Sapphire City | Rim Human Fighter | Protect (single target ally) | |
| Sapphire City | Frederika Dwarf Smith | Apparently has some power accumulation ability | |
| Seagull Village | Sharon Elf Valkyrie | Knockout Purification | Knockout makes her a good dual wield candidate as she can stun multiple targets per turn |
| Northrop Village | Lieselotte Sylph Sorcerer | Access to Holy Magic | Best pocket knife character for exploration, with access to 3 schools of magic. After maxing out all her spells, you could theoretically respec her into Summoner or Hunter (if you already gathered all summoning contracts) |
| Brave Town | Sonya Human Monk | Death proc on auto attacks Counter Stance -> later learns Counter | Counter + Death combo makes for a very strong frontline character |
| Brave Town | Marianne Dwarf Lord | Counter (EDIT: this is actually Counter Stance) Protect Protect All Purify | Protect All + Counter massively speeds up the pace of battle. Having MC + these two characters in your front row is massive tempo swing, as majority of enemy attacks are going to get countered. |
| Dustwell Town | Comet Sylph Summoner | Hide Access to Holy Magic Access to Spirit Magic Access to Alchemy Magic | Another super versatile, pocket knife character that is super useful for exploration. Think of it as a PoKeMoN HM slave. |
