Characters: Lightning The Fifth Ark - Upper Traverse
You can talk to your team-mates here. But there are no treasures or other interesting things, so continue onwards past the Save Station. In the next area, there is also nothing special. Just another Save Station. So go up the stairs. A battle starts.
----------------------------------
[512] Pulsework Knight x2
----------------------------------
After the battle, role development unlocks, meaning every character can now use every role.
I suggest you stick with the first 3 roles for your characters though, because these other roles cost an insane amount of CP and give you barely anything in return.
Characters: Lightning + Your Choice The Fifth Ark - Vestibular Hold
You can now not only choose who your party is, but who your party leader is. First upgrade everyone’s CS and settings, then continue on. You can fight the enemies behind you for extra CP and Items if you want.

[512] Pulsework Knight x2
[256] Pulsework Knight

Use a SAB/MED/MED with a SEN/MED/MED to win this fight. Especially slow seems to drive the meter up a lot. All in all, a pretty easy summon battle.

- End of Chapter 10 -
~ Concealed Vestige ~
Warrior (Fighter) — A specialist in heavy weapons and armor who can withstand tremendous amounts of punishment. Can become the Knight later in the game, who is able to use the most powerful weapons and some White Magic spells.
Monk (Black Belt) — A martial arts expert who is best left fighting empty-handed, but may also wield nunchaku, and the most basic of staves. Does tremendous amounts of damage in combat, but cannot wear heavy armor. Can become the Master later in the game. In the original Famicom/NES version a high level, barehanded Master who is unencumbered by armor, can do more damage in a single attack than any other character type; a party of four Masters can defeat the final boss monster in less than two full rounds. A rather weak class in the beginning, but you never have to buy much weapons/armor for him.
Thief — A high evasion/accuracy finesse fighter with very limited weapon and armor selection, but greater agility and luck (ability to escape from combat). However, the ability to flee is bugged in versions before the Origins release. Later in the game, the Thief can be upgraded to the Ninja class. Ninja can use almost every weapon and most armor, and can use many Black Magic spells.
White Mage — A specialist in White Magic. Not a good fighter, but can use hammers for physical attacks. Can be upgraded into a White Wizard, which allows the character to use the most powerful White Magic spells in the game.
Black Mage — A specialist in Black Magic and a very weak fighter. Becomes the Black Wizard later on. Black Wizard is the only character who can cast Flare (NUKE in the original North American localization), one of the two damaging spells that retain full effectiveness against Chaos (the White Wizard can cast Holy, the other spell, but it is less powerful than Flare).
Red Mage — A jack-of-all-trades character, able to use most but not all of both White and Black Magic, and possessing fighting abilities similar to but not quite as good as the Fighter. Becomes the Red Wizard later in the game.
