Elvaan Vs Mithra

[Gascogne]

Is there any big difference of the two races as a fighting class?
Race stats (http://cgi.tripod.co.jp/hugger/cgi-bin/ff11status.cgi)
At lvl 50 Monk the stats looks like this(not counting any equipment):
Lvl HP MP STR DEX VIT AGI INT MND CHR
50 999 0 49 43 52 28 25 46 37 Elvaan
50 928 0 40 55 46 40 31 37 31 Mithra

(sorry about the stats, I can't get is nice looking) :sweat:

You get hit more as an Elvaan, but take less damage.
You get hit less as a Mithra, but take more damage.

You do less damage as a Mithra, but hit more often.
You do more damage as an Elvaan, but hit less often.

In other words...not too big of one...but there is a difference if you want to be a "Pure" Monk...nothing but HP and Strength.

[Gascogne]

I guess it is the same for the Warrior class.
It seems that I just have to go by the appearance of what I want to play :biggrin:

Evlaans reside within the Kingdom of San'Doria. They are taller then humes and have long pointy ears. They are stronger, have higher vitality, and a higher mind stat which helps them raise their skills faster. They are very suited for close ranged combat.



Mithras are a cat looking race. They are very fast, which is great for being a Thief. You can only play as female Mithras, there are no playable males. There are male Mithras, but they are kept in their villages, since they are so few in numbers. Lucky them! They don't hit as hard as other races, but what they lack in strength, they make up in speed. The Mithra race is against technology and prefer to be with nature that is why the Federation of Windurst is where they live.

There is the funny thing about the mithras, they are against technology and yet they are the best Theives and Rangers which can use the gun as weapon. It is little odd :rolleyes:

[Staccato]

I'm a thief/ranger but I just couldn't bare being a mithra... they're just so gross looking ~~;

[Gascogne]

Some like neko-jins and some doesn't ;)

[Nodachi]

lol neko jins ... wouldnt it be neko-hito? juss shootin in the dark really know nuthin about japanese, but isnt jin the kun-yomi? err wait i answered my own question huh kun yomis used for combonations... lol been preping incase i gota import this sunuvabych>< and i am one who dun care for em - im glad others choose them to add variety but i can't play as a female character heh.

[Gascogne]

Neko = cat
Jin = human
Nekojin = Cathuman :)

[Crashpod]

i bet its a very good life to be a male mithra because they spend all day at home or in hot sweatly love shacks sence theres so little male ones i bet all they do is have sex :) i wouldnt mind being a male mithra:rolleyes: itll be fun.

[Saronic]

I'm pretty sure most Mithra would be afraid of BREAKING a male of their kind...

I think that life would sorta suck...

"please madam guard, can I go outside and play?"

"NO! Go back to bed!"

"But its two in the afternoon!"

"Go take a catnap"

"HEY!"

"*hiss*"

... oo; Am I just falling too far into this?

[penpen]

does jin really mean human? I thought it meant like "person" like nihonjin (japan person)

oh well.. the mithras do look kinda scary in FFXI :D

[Gyles]

i think the exact opposite, mithras rock, a whole race of catgirls!

the elven chicks on the otherhand look like a pointy eared WNBA game with weapons:)

Hmmm... if i could get that to be an actual sport, i could make millions.
buahahahahaha!!!!!

[Nadyxes]

thing about this game is that the game gets balanced out at higher lvl

example a taru whm at lvl 50 can have as more or less mp than a hume whm

thing about is that with RSE and AF and other types of equipment that give stat boosts that the race doesnt matter after a while

i seen Galkas with Whm af

the stats only matter at low level
after like lvl 30-40 the stats are pretty much the same

as for elvaan and mithra
elvann is a better fighter in the beginning
mithra is faster in the beginning
eventually it all evens out
