CloseI have been working on a game for Gio Adventures, Wishing Sword(see my sig) and the characters you encounter are a default class, but I wanted to make them able to change classes. Some people are male and others are female, so I'm guessing that I have to create double the events for each gender. I'm not good with events like that, so can anyone give me a brief "tutorial" of classes and how I can successfully change them? Thanks!
Also, I have a party change system where a bar in a town teleports you to a map where you can choose who can be in your team. I originally wanted you to be able to make a new character by deciding their class and gender, much like DQ3. You were able to make up to 8 characters at any time, and you can delete them if you don't want that person anymore. Can anyone give advice?

Well, if I'm understanding your predicament properly, it seems that you want to be able to change classes of various party members, and have the class they change be dependent on the gender of the character. So, for the example I give, I'll assume you have four characters in your party, two males and two females.
Also, forgive me for writing this in psuedocode. I do not have RPG Maker in front of me and I do not remember the exact names of the commands in the event editor window.
Start of Character Change Event:
>Choice: Select Character
>>Male 1
>>>Choice: Select Class
>>>>Class 1
>>>>>Change Class: Male 1, Class1Male
>>>>Class 2
>>>>>Change Class: Male 1, Class2Male
>>>>Class 3
>>>>>Change Class: Male 1, Class3Male
>>>>Class 4
>>>>>Change Class: Male 1, Class4Male
>>Male 2
>>>Choice: Select Class
>>>>Class 1
>>>>>Change Class: Male 2, Class1Male
>>>>Class 2
>>>>>Change Class: Male 2, Class2Male
>>>>Class 3
>>>>>Change Class: Male 2, Class3Male
>>>>Class 4
>>>>>Change Class: Male 2, Class4Male
>>Female 1
>>>Choice: Select Class
>>>>Class 1
>>>>>Change Class: Female 1, Class1Female
>>>>Class 2
>>>>>Change Class: Female 1, Class2Feale
>>>>Class 3
>>>>>Change Class: Female 1, Class3Feale
>>>>Class 4
>>>>>Change Class: Female 1, Class4Feale
>>Female 2
>>>Choice: Select Class
>>>>Class 1
>>>>>Change Class: Female 2, Class1Female
>>>>Class 2
>>>>>Change Class: Female 2, Class2Feale
>>>>Class 3
>>>>>Change Class: Female 2, Class3Feale
>>>>Class 4
>>>>>Change Class: Female 2, Class4Feale
As you can see, you will need to create 8 classes for this logic to work: Class1Male, Class2Male, Class3Male, Class4Male, Class1Female, Class2Female, Class3Female, and Class4Female.
Now, if you want to have every single Class for every single character look different, like how it is in Final Fantasy V, you will need to create versions of each class for every single character, such as: Class1Male1, Class2Male1, Class3Male1, Class4Male1, Class1Male2, Class2Male2, Class3Male2, Class4Male2, Class1Female1, Class2Female1, Class3Female1, Class4Female1, Class1Female2, Class2Female2, Class3Female2, and Class4Female2.
Just plug those in to the above logic and have fun!
Keep in mind that when you change class, you have to set how your experience level changes, and if you lose any skills. Even then, you'll need to store the experience a character has gained (since his last level up) prior to class change in a variable, then put that experience back in that character. This is because even if you do not specify a drop back to level 1, they still lose all the experience that they gained since their last level up.
Hope that helps!

Thanks, I'll try it out!
I set up the class change by having the player have to insert a name for the character they want the class changed. If the name is not anyone in the game, the man will tell the hero that the name is wrong. I just need to have a condition if the character is already a class, like the warrior for example, then they cannot change to that class again(Warrior -> Warrior, not possible; Warrior -> Mage, Possible). There are 7 people who can change classes, not including the hero and a few characters who cannot change classes. I managed to get each character able to change class. Spells are carried over, but the character will return to level 1 and their stats will be halved.

No problem! On your other issue, the party change/creation/whathavenot...can you give some more information? I'm not sure what it is that you are asking for help with. Are you asking for advice on how to build a party-changer? Or advice on how to build a character generator? You seem like you don't mind typing, so can you please be specific here. I, or someone else, will be better able to assist you then.

Did you ever play Dragon Quest III?
There, you can make a new character by choosing their name, class, and it's done!
I wanted to try the same concept in my game, like a character generator, but it soon got too complicated. I'm not going to go through with it, and create standard characters that can change class.
