Depends really on what you mean by "ideal" all of the classes have their own roles to play so, personally I like to keep a diverse party in terms of vocation, but technically it is possible to play the game however you like. If you and your main pawn were to be a mage then, the party would have two capable healers, but I would suggest either you or your pawn changing into the sorceror vocation so that one can play healer/basic attacks while the other does massive amounts of damage when facing boss monsters. Of course this means hiring the appropriate pawns to support you and your main pawn since both of you would probably be fairly fragile. This is all personal opinion though since the game allows a lot of flexibility when it comes to how you want to play it.
