Changing Classes
Characters can be divided into different classes. Each class can equip certain kinds of weapons and armor, learn different kinds of skills and have different Valor Chants.
In 
Main Story Chapter 11, in the Time's Forgotten Shop, you are introduced to Lady Midd who can upgrade/sidegrade a character as well encounter new allies from other time layers.
- While the feature is introduced in Main Story Chapter 11, outside of the Symphony Characters, Benedict and Bria, it will be difficult to upgrade a character to a 5★ class as the class specific material require Main Story Part 1 to be completed to gain the chance to get the material.
| Portrait | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
 |
Lady Midd (Middalysse) | A mysterious old lady in the Spacetime Rift. She will release the hidden powers of characters in exchange for memoirs and scripts. |
Characters can battle in 1 style only so you can not have both a Normal Style and Another Style/Extra Style in the same party. Any characters with a different style, that you also own, will result in the lower leveled style gaining 2.5x EXP from battles. See Character EXP Table for more details.
Ability Points for the Skill Board are shared between Normal Style, Another Style, and Extra Style. In addition, completing the full Ability Board for a 5★ character will provide a stats bonus to the character's other 5★ style(s).
Normal Style[edit]
Characters can upgrade to a higher class by using a special item known as a Memoir. By changing classes, the character will get a new ability board, gain access to better skills and be able to reach a higher maximum level. You can also sidegrade a character to their 5★ NS if you have the associated character Another Style or Extra Style form. Characters that can be found in the overworld will be found using this style. The tomes can found in defined 
Another Dungeon. Look at the Tome List for a specific tome.
- Note you must either have a 4★ NS, 5★ AS, or 5★ ES of the character to unlock the 5★ NS (Normal Style)
The default requirements for upgrading a 4★ to a 5★ NS (Normal Style) character is
- Tome x1 (Based of their 5★ NS class name)
- Murmur Script x90
- Prayer Script x30
- Chant Script x5
Exceptions[edit]
Not all character follow the above pattern, this section describe characters who do not follow the default formula but still require Lady Midd to help class change.

The Free Characters who join in the Main Story and are not initially a 5★ require progress in Main Story and perhaps some progress on a related side quest as well as the following materials. Similar to the the Symphony characters, these characters do not require usage of Chant Script

Parallel Time Layer Characters (PTL or AC)[edit]
Parallel Time Layer characters are Alternate Self of existing playable characters with different history than their original counterparts. Although they may bear the same name, they are considered separate character, occupy different party slots and have different / points. They also have their own character quests, with their first character quest accessible even if you do not possess the character.
The community refers to these characters as "alters" and use "AC" as an suffix identifier.
AC Characters can awaken zone and are currently the only type of characters to possess the passive known as Another Sense. When equipping AC characters, they will have a purple shade chip around their name to identify the equipment is currently on a AC and not the Original character. AC Characters can only be obtained at the 5★ rarity and are considered in game as NS. For some characters, Lady Midd may not allow you to encounter the character if you do not have the achievement of knowing their true name.
Currently AC Characters can come from one of the following time layers
- Future >>spoiler<<Midnight Time Layer
- Future >>spoiler<<Twilight Time Layer
- Present >>spoiler<<White Night Time Layer (Garulea 297AD)
- Future Time Layer >>spoiler<<Astral Time Layer (~2100 AD)
- Unidentified Time Layer >>spoiler<<? Time Layer (Purgatory)
- Present >>spoiler<<Parallel Time Layer
If you have the associated character NS (Normal Style) form, Lady Midd will be able to encounter the character with three Opuses memoirs. WFS did mention in a livestream that in a future version, you may be able to encounter the AC using the original's AS/ES styles but this feature is currently not supported.[1]
Note that if an AC Character or Original Character is obtained by sidegrading from one to the other, that unit will start with 0 / points. If you have AC Character and are trying to obtain their Original Character, you will still be required to obtain the Opuses unless you have a form of the Original Character. Opuses can only be obtained, at a rate of 0.1% from select Another Dungeons. Look at the Treatise, Codex, Opus List to see which Another Dungeons drop Opuses.

Exceptions[edit]
The Apex of Logic and Cardinal Scales
Some characters require completion of The Apex of Logic and Cardinal Scales to learn the character's true name and Lady Midd will not be able to encounter the character until you complete the relevant chapter. You can still encounter these characters from the Gallery of Dreams.
Not PTL/AC Characters[edit]
The following characters are not considered to be a AC character because their original version counterpart is not going to join the party for various reasons.
- Curio is not considered a AC character because his original character >>spoiler<<is considered an enemy.
- Orleya is not considered a AC character because her original character >>spoiler<<has died and because Aldo can't travel to her time period in his time layer.
- Alma is not considered a AC character because her original character >>spoiler<<has died.
- Yakumo is not considered a AC character because his original character >>spoiler<<is the branch chief.
- Radias & Zeviro are not considered AC characters because the concept of AC character was created after their release
