Thought for the night, brought on by rikkamaru’s question about Lander classes:
It’s known that Landers have less detailed profiles. In S1 episode 10, it is seen when some are seen bowing down to the Eastal League’s procession into Akiba; the only thing that shows up for their status screen is the fact that they’re a Lander, and an HP gauge.
Which leads me to wonder two things: 1) Why is it that some Landers have detailed statuses while others do not, and 2) How exactly do “unique” classes work?
In regards to the Ten Seats’ Lander members having detailed status screens, I dug up some while ago from Mamare’s notes that Plant Hwyaden developed the “Menu Cheat” to add or change features in the game menu, though it can’t add features that no longer exist like the mini-map. This could go to explain why their members have detailed menus.
However, even then, Rudy and Elias were depicted with detailed statuses and they aren’t associated with PH at all. Originally, it could be argued that Rudy’s was made up in the anime to throw people off from the reveal (of course, it could still be that reason), but then it should also be noted that we never get a look at Rayneshia or Li Gan’s profiles.
This might indicate that Landers who train to a certain level of combat proficiency will be able to acquire detailed status screens with special UI to match. (Li Gan admits to being proficient enough in combat magic to be able to take on Lander knights, but as it is neither his specialty nor interest, his class is a rather passive Lore Master with no known unique icon.)
We see that Mizufa (Warlord), Elias (Blademancer), and Jered Gan (Archmage) have unique icons and colors for their classes. What’s more, their icons take elements from existing classes’: Mizufa’s uses the shield from Guardian, Elias’ uses the Sorcerer’s staff, and Jered’s uses a variation of the Enchanter’s eye. While Mizufa’s UI color is blue, which is not used in any other class’ color scheme, Elias’ is in line with both the Warrior and Mage classes. Jered’s, however, is interesting -- despite using the Enchanter’s eye, the color scheme is purple, closer to the Healer classes’ colors rather than the dark green of the Mage classes.
It seems that they have an “evolved” version of the Adventurer classes, so to speak. Classes that go beyond the rigid lines of the “god-given” presets that Adventurers have to adhere to. Given how I mentioned in rikka’s ask that Landers need to actually train to acquire their classes, it’s possible that they are capable of “creating” new class-combinations that can eventually be “accepted” by the world laws as a valid Lander class.
Given that the four Landers we know of with traditional Adventurer classes are all relatively young, it’s possible that given time, they too could “obtain” unique classes. It’s comparable to the Overskills/Mysteries that the Adventurers develop, just a tad more unknowns since up to this point, it’s been indicated that Landers don’t wholly have free thought (re: unable to discover real flavor or develop more than 42 songs).
Assuming this is true, though, this may further explain why the Genius gunned for the Ancients first: the more experienced, powerful ones among them probably had unique classes like Elias’ and thus had more unknowns for them to deal with. Sealing them away would narrow the scope of their trouble to Adventurers, who have a fixed set of classes and skills to work with. Which is, then, logically why Overskills are crucial to defeating them.

Either the in universe explanation of time sucks or my math does. Or both. 2 hours IRL is 1 day in Elder Tale. There's apparently a factor of 12 involved somewhere. 8765.812 hours per year (ignoring leap years because like whoa, I already said I suck at math). I'm working out how much time would pass in Theldesia/Sedelsha during 6 months IRL, so divide that by 2- roughly 4382.906 hours in 6 months. X12, divide by 24= 2191.453. Put that in non-leap years- 6.0039. Urgh. Next time, I'll just times by twelve at the beginning. I know something is suspect about this mess, probably the factor of twelve, but when I left it out I ended up with six months IRL translating to less than a week in game.
