First topic message reminder :
Now with 20% more hilarity?
K, bored. Let's try this shall we? +/- .5 Margin of Error, also taking into consideration of efficiency and such. I have up to Jeigan done, and there is the GFAQs one that I set up over there.
To find the character, click on he/she in the OVERVIEW OF ALL CHARACTERS. So if you're looking for Zagaro, simply click on him and it'll redirect you to the post that has him. Some are shared (Wolf | Zag, Jake | Beck, Cain | Abel).
I'm cool with people arguing against or for my rankings. I try to slightly adjust with the tier list.

RECOMMENDED ROUTES
Abel / Cain: Cavalier -> DracoKnight - Sniper - Paladin
Any of these work really. Paladin is only mentioned due to the higher Spd cap and using the ranks built up from before.
Doga: Hunter -> General or Fighter -> Berserker (Hero)
You either get a well-rounded General with some doubling capabilities or a doubling machine with innate crit.
Shiida: Mage -> Sage or Pegasus Knight -> Paladin
The latter is only for Wing Spear utility.
Jeigan: DracoKnight -> Sage / Bishop
Paladin for earlygame obviously. DracoKnight before starting C4 since flying utility and Jeigan's durability gets a small jump. Sage and Bishop are nothing more than longevity options.
Gordin: Curate
Pretty much earlygame archer, then Curate if you "want to do something".
Wrys: Curate
Earlygame healing, can extend his use since he is practically the only Class A aside from Lena and lolElice that gets a start on Staff rank (and is unpromoted).
Oguma: Mercenary -> Hero
Self-explainatory. Fighter if you're RNG lucky with Spd.
Cord / Barst: Fighter -> Hero or Hunter -> General
Fighter -> Hero gets the higher preference, but Hunter -> General also works for them. Some Mercenary work is also appreciated and easily flexible (C6X, C8, C9 for examples).
Bord: Armor Knight -> General or Hunter -> General
Whichever floats your boat really.
Darros: Armor Knight -> General or Hunter -> General
Mini-Zag / Wolf anyone?
Castor / Kashim: Hunter -> General or AK -> General
Early promo this guy if you can, but otherwise isn't 100% necessary. AK -> General if you're dead worried about Def.
Lena: Curate
Don't bother promoting her. Just keep her for Hammerne.
Navarre: Cavalier -> DracoKnight
Semi-tanky helps his case.
Marich: Curate -> Sage
Dear God can't dispute this. Cavalier -> DracoKnight for lulz 18 Def by 20/1.
Matthis: Curate -> Sniper
Meh setup, but the only other options aren't very practical.
Wendell: Sage
DracoKnight gives him doubling progress and a little durability. Swordmaster for wtfSpeed and lol5 Str.
Hardin: Cavalier -> DracoKnight - Sniper - Paladin
Pretty self-explainatory. Go B Lances!
Roshea: Curate -> Swordmaster
The guy desperately needs Speed. Need I say more?
Vyland: Cavalier -> Sniper
Just stick with this. He needs all the help he can get, but works fine otherwise.
Zagaro / Wolf: General or Hero
I put more emphasis on General despite what BBlade says about Hero!Zag working because General has a slightly more "uber" period.
Athena: Pegasus Knight -> DracoKnight or Myrmidion -> Swordmaster
Think Navarre with some more levels and slightly higher Str.
Caesar: Hunter -> General
His best route IMO. Fighter -> Hero works okay but it's a rather iffy set-up.
Radd: Cleric -> Sniper
Works alright, but he comes kind of late.
Roger: Fighter -> Hero
If you're willing to give him C10's Speedwing, he can double right away.
George: Sniper
Not bad with the A Rank in bows. Sucks he's mediocre otherwise.
Minerva: Sniper or DracoKnight
Sniper is pretty much her earlygame while DracoKnight lets her tank a little bit or abuse her A Axes.
Maria: Cleric
Pretty much a filler. Go Sage if you want, but don't expect much.
Linde: Curate -> Sage
If you really want to use her, her best option is here. Mage gives her some Aura utility.
Macellan: Hunter -> General
Yeah, except his Def scores aren't so hot.
Dolph: Hunter -> General
But this guy is. Slap an early promotion on him and watch him roll.
Midia: Sniper
Better hope she gets some level ups.
Boah: Sage
BOAHBOAHBOAHBOAHBOAH.
Thomas: Cleric -> Sniper
If you're really, REALLY wanting Archer -> Sniper... but this route is simply faster.
Horace: General
I'd slip into Hero for C15 if you can. Tossing him a DracoShield gives him usage past C19.
Astram: Hero
Because any other option makes him REALLY bad.
Katua (Catria) / Paola (Palla): Pegasus Knight -> Sniper - Paladin
I'd put more emphasis on Sniper with Paola, probably the same with Katua since Sniper is simply a great class with her high Spd growth.
Samson: Hero
Think Astram except with a better weapon rank and less RNG-screwable. Don't expect him to last long though.
Arran: Halb- I mean Sniper
Nephenee was here. Devdan is a loser! OR is it Danved?
Etzel: Sorcerer
Self-explainatory.Go Berserker for 100% HP growth!!!
Est: Curate -> Sniper
Patience, my child. Or go Pegasus Knight if you miraculously have all three sisters.
Lorenz: General
Because any other reclass route is suicide.
Ymir: Hero
He needs a statbooster (Speedwing or two) but he can function alright. Sucks his Axe Rank becomes a goddamn C and a half.
Elice: Curate
A Staves. W00t!Go Myrmidion for h4x capabilities!
