Your plan sounds great. The main thing I want to comment on is the Zenmaster and the Valkyrie--don't get too excited about these elite classes unless you want to replay the game after you finish it the first time. There's only about 15 minutes of gameplay left by the the time you can complete the quests to become Zenmaster and Valkyrie.
Assassin is cool, though, and is achievable early enough to make it worthwhile. (((my character already had all his spells by the time I made him an assassin--I just changed him so I could dress him up in all the cunning red assassin garb lol))).
One word of caution--don't go for too many different spells/skills in one class. For example, even though a priest can learn vine magic, you might want to get all of the spirit spells, then move him to ranger to pick up vine spells more quickly than if you keep him as priest.
I just finished the game with a Whiska warrior/barbarian/ranger/paladin/ninja/warlock/samuri/zenmaster, a human priest/ninja/warlock/samuri/Valkyrie and an elf wizard/Ranger/Paladin/Warlock/Assassin. In the end, everyone had all of the spells. I also used the Toughen cheat, so each character had about 1300 hp when I was done.
One more thing--I chose to increase my sorcery skill for each player every time I leveled up, and I still only got Sorcery skill to level 10 by the end of the game. Most things can be trained for in the guilds, but sorcery can't--only way to increase it is during your level ups.
