I have to agree that the Nu Mou get outclassed by Viera even early on.

Maybe they should eliminate the restrictions on job classes based on race and allow races to be more of an aesthetic choice with minor statistical differences like Final Fantasy XI?

The law system seems like a flawed way to implement a challenge or restriction to a mainly limitless character management system. I was turned off pretty quickly by laws that were not entirely in my control, and, unlike Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, I was not presented with the option to nullify laws during the time that I played.

I chose to play the game in Hard Mode. I may have gotten further in the game if I had simply selected Normal Mode.
