Besides this is a cooperative game anyway, so we're supposed to be helping each other out.

Your best source will be this forum and prolly some tutorial online.. About Renkei (combination), and Magic burst, which takes time to get good at. Also eventually of coz subjob, then adv job, RSE, AF... Blah blah blah... These infos are all online in english here I think.... Just have to search thru. Eviled, Ragnarok, Rank 7 BRD 69 | RDM54
RSE 4 | BRD AF | RDM AF3/6 | Goblin bag 5 | Moogle exp 3 | Alchemy 68 | Goldsmith 24 | Blacksmith 15
Whole set worker gear < 100k
4 stacks of picks 10k
Turbo controllers $10USD

There is like one paragraph on crafts and absolutely nothing on some of the more important quests. (Sub job and chocobo)
The online manuals might help in final release but they aren't up for beta testers yet.
If this is what it was like for the Japanese beta testers I have alot of respect for them. Without this site and several helpful people in game I would have been totally lost for alot longer  | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 08-27-2003, 09:08 AM | #21 (permalink) | | Veteran Member Brain of Knowledge Join Date: May 2003 Location: NJ Posts: 1,576 Style: Dark - Version 5 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 6,001 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 6,001 Donate | | Quote: | Nice journal Jei it sounds like some americans know what they are doing . | True Dat  RDM75| DRG75 | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 08-28-2003, 04:49 AM | #22 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Posts: 236 Style: Dark - Version 5 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 819 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 819 Donate | Ive seen you around, I think.

Does the beta period sorta mean that a US (and eventually a UK) version are no longer a spec on the horizon? | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 09-22-2003, 12:26 PM | #25 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2003 Posts: 7 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 40 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 40 Donate | Final release date for FFXI is scheduled for october 29 (ish) for the PC and early 2004 for PS2  | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 09-26-2003, 01:13 AM | #26 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2003 Posts: 2 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 10 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 10 Donate | Thanks for the info, I've just kinda been out of the 'FFXI-loop' having played too much Madden :D | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 10-02-2003, 03:43 PM | #27 (permalink) | | Epic Fail Guy Brain of Knowledge Join Date: Feb 2003 Posts: 1,194 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 1,725 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 1,725 Donate | buh buh buh...I know...like...70% of the people in those pics..Hawlks is my idol as a BLM...and...er..Baphomet, Aquilea, Phear...omg that's so wierd Oo (you too Broot =P)  Most memorable WoW vent convos on Burning Legion:
