I've been pondering something as of late. In a game where there are multiple healing classes, which is the best one?
Obviously, the best choice is "the simplest one", which narrows the field from 7 to 2:
Heirophant and Alchemist (these are the names of the 2 classes I use). Heirophant is the most basic "strait up healer". Healing and revival, but not much else (no status recovery, no special gimmicks, nothing).
Alchemist is an item user. They have the "Alchemy" skill that uses mp to turn single target items into party use items and can craft items from components.
The question now is: Which is better for an initial healing class? Most alchemy based classes I've seen come late in the game when you already have lots of items.
Having it come early may well mess with the item economy. With the alchemist, you won't need to buy as much (advanced healing items are meant to be expensive).
However, on the reverse side, having the Heirophant first makes you less reliant on gold in the beginning in order to heal.
So I'm interested in your thoughts on the matter. Magical or Item-based healing as an initial class?

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
