First of all, there is no American version, it is the North American version. Also, I'll probaly be the same job class that I am in the Japanese version; Black Mage / White Mage.

Samurai/Paladin, and probably change it all off with other classes as well.

But those two are my favorite classes.

More then likely Red Mage, havent really thought about it yet :biggrin:

White Mage to Black Mage/White Mage and then I'll prolly go BST/WHM. =/ I think.

04-03-2003, 11:13 AM
I'm going with good old BLM/WHM. I just love that AF.

White Mage to start with (maybe mess around with theif a bit), and eventually aiming for Summoner.

Janus Zeal
04-03-2003, 12:15 PM
I think I'll surely do as my profile says: Dark Knight/Monk, and then try some other jobs (Thief, Paladin, Black Mage, maybe White Mage...) just for fun...

With my second character, I'll surely aim to more magery so Black Mage/White Mage and eventually Beast Master, I like Taming jobs :)

I'll start as a MNK/BLM.

Rico
04-03-2003, 12:54 PM
My other two are going to be beastmaster and the other red mage thats about it..... ^_^,

04-03-2003, 12:59 PM
Erm, Chrono? You can't start with a sub. And outside of WAR/WHM, melee/mage classes are generally not a great idea :sweat:

Dragoon/Paladin for me. See the 'Dragoon Sub Ability' thread for my reasons why.

Plan to start as WHM, level to 18, WAR/WHM to 30, PLD/WAR to however high is needed to get DRG, then DRG/PLD as far as I can stomach the game, which should be forever and a day.

Remember, you have to level a job before subbing it, unless of course you'd like your subjob to be at level 1 all the time ;) :spin:

04-03-2003, 01:03 PM
blm/whm baybah :spin: but, of course, i'll play around with alllll the jobs, because i think that playing around with all the jobs and stuff is one of the most fun things to do in an mmorpg. :spin: but, im gonna spend the most time leveling blm and whm, unless something i try out is more fun than that

snappurunyanko
04-03-2003, 01:16 PM
I'll be a mithra theif at the start. Maybe I'll make "Cat burgler" or whatever fits the names rules for a linkshell :3

I'll go for Ranger/Thief. Good thing you can take all the jobs you want and not have to worry about ruining your character... X3

Decius
04-03-2003, 01:23 PM
war/thief....i wanna tank...i wanted to be war/monk but i heard war/thief is more powerful...
my other character could be a taru black mage/white mage
or a bard/something else?

o0_paladinz_0o
04-03-2003, 01:46 PM
well i was thinking of being a summoner/black mage, but if i can't jump off with a summoner then i'll first be a black mage/ white mage then become a summoner, but i'd love to start of as a summoner with a secondary blackmage job, is that even possible? import players, or anyone who knows, oh yea i'm a tarutaru of course...

<T_T>

AlphaBLUE
04-03-2003, 08:09 PM
Im aiming for an Elvaan BST/WAR. but i might fiddle around with my Sub a bit when i can.
(still wishing for a Blue mage though :biggrin: )

Fox Excalibur
04-03-2003, 08:15 PM
Im with ya Alpha, the one major class they are missing that was always fun, (but really hard to do for an MMORPG sadly)

oh and paladinz, being a tarutaru wont effect what class you can be :p one nice thing is you can be any class as any race in this game.

but no you cant start with Summoner, about 99% likely, but no one knows how we will aquire the new classes since they arent released yet.

Shadowed
04-03-2003, 08:19 PM
Warrior for starters. Then, when the time comes, Red Mage for a sub. When I can get advanced, Paladin.

John Doe III
04-03-2003, 10:51 PM
Heh same as Magi I'm going to have Blackmage/Whitemage and then probably Ranger/Redmage.

Trapezius
04-03-2003, 10:57 PM
Right now, I just changed from WAR to WHM/BLM. Its so easy to level its insane. I'll probably stay with that until I get my WHM to 30, then I'll be a DRG/WHM when the expansion comes to my doorstep in about two weeks.:spin: :spin: :spin: :spin:

Dwimordene
04-03-2003, 11:35 PM
My Elvaan:
Dark Knight/Warrior

My Mithra:
Bard/White Mage
Black Mage/White Mage or
Summoner/White Mage

Haven't decided yet ;)

Xscaflowne
04-04-2003, 08:06 AM
dragoon will be my main then ill check summoner, white mage, monk and ninja for subs:handsdown

Durren20
04-04-2003, 10:05 AM
Samurai/War

I'll probably switch my sub between war, thf, and monk depending on the situation though. :thumbsup:

Jibe
04-04-2003, 10:38 AM
Bard or Thief perhaps. I'm not sure about sub class yet!

Waaah! I sure would like to play a male Mithra! :(
I've always liked feline type races.. But I like playing male characters. (I'm a guy ;))
It's just my opinion that Square should have made male Mithras playable (same with female Galka)
since most players like having the choice. (Even if it requires a small story change) :sweat:

If I play a female Mithra everyone will think it's just for the eyecandy. :p

Oh well.. :sweat:

Dwimordene, we should play together when FFXI comes out! :biggrin:

You guys do realize one thing:
if the NA version is the same as the JP version

THEN one
the starting classes that you can choose from are:
MNK
WAR
WHM
BLM
RDM
THF
then when you become lvl 30 you can do a quest to get:
BST
DRK
PLD
BRD
RNG
then at a lot higher level you need to do a quest to be able to obtain:
Samuri
Dragoon
Ninja
Summoner

just realize you need to choose one of the first 6 jobs then you can get advanced jobs then the expansion jobs (not until your a lot higher)
to obtain expansion jobs is a quest but how hard no one knows yet

these words do not belong together.

Hej Shadowed (completely off topic)

Wich game did the quote: "All Your Base Are belong To Us" come from?

And what's up with the Are wrong spelling?!?

I know the quote is widely know but I am not sure what it stands for.
PLZ help
you can call me a n00b if ya like :)

Fox Excalibur
04-04-2003, 11:40 AM
lol its just a joke phrase about how bad the translation for that particular game was. The quote was really in the game, it was just so bad, lol. I think the game was Macross??? i dont know for sure myself.

ratmaster3d
04-04-2003, 11:49 AM
3 characters
1st Dagontu galka dragoon/monk or thief
2nd Elvan or mithra ranger/thief or ninja
3rd tarutaru Mainly summoner black mage and white mage but am going to play around with all the jobs with this guys

p.s. Dragoons are my favorite class ever de rock:spin:

Rafi Malak'
04-04-2003, 11:54 AM
Probably going to start with a red mage, then switch to ranger once i finish the quest :thumbsup:

Dwimordene
04-04-2003, 11:55 AM
Nadyxes: Yes I do realize I'll have to level the main available job first. I'm going WAR till LVL 30 with Dwim, then going to DRK. I might possibly just lvl all the other main jobs up a bit as well (like to LVL 10) if I'm really bored. LOL. My Mithra will probably start out as a WHM and then I'll go to BLM and BARD. Depending on the requirements for being a Summoner, I'd like to try that one out as an advanced. :thumbsup:

Fox: The game was for Sega Genesis and I believe it was called Zero Wing. "All Your Base Our Belong to Us" was actually a flash music video you could watch online, but I think it ceased to exist. It was quite funny. The game was just badly translated.

Fox Excalibur
04-04-2003, 12:25 PM
lol yeah thanks for clearing that up, I believe it was Zero Wing, that sounds familiar now. Which music video do you mean, i know ive seen the one from www.mortisland.com thats histerical (especially if your an 8-bit fan for the end)

bad translations are great :biggrin:

Janus Zeal
04-04-2003, 01:09 PM
For my first character I'll first pick Monk and Level it to 18
then do the sub-job quest and take Warrior and raise it to 15
take back Monk as a main and raise it to 30

After that I'll do the Dark Knight quest using my Monk/Warrior, using Warrior for the quest and then switch to Dark Knight as my main and Monk as my sub-job. I'll surely end up trying to level up all jobs though (later, after my main is high enough).

Sageman2000
04-04-2003, 09:08 PM
Im going to start off with warrior, then thief for sub, then I'm going to get either samurai or ninja. My goal is to be either samurai or ninja for main job and Thf for sub job.

I'll be WHM Taru, i'm Warrior/monk in jap

DustinMcDohl
04-07-2003, 06:57 PM
Race: Elvaan
Starting Job: White Mage
Sub Job at Level 18: Warrior
Advanced Job: Paladin
Sub Job: White Mage/Warrior.. I would prefer White Mage but I will probably end up subbing Warrior just to get into parties.

Expansion Job(maybe): Dragoon
Sub Job: Warrior/Paladin.. Both are fairly useful.. just makes a hard to kill target even harder to kill.

vagtark
04-07-2003, 07:03 PM
Starting Job - Warrior
Sub Job - Monk or Theif
Advance Job - Paladin
Advance job, sub job - Warrior
I am just going to level up my Paladin for a long time and get My AF amor and all that good stuff.
:thumbsup:

Expansion job/ sub / - Ninja/ Theif :thumbsup:

Teknoman
04-07-2003, 07:10 PM
Ok here's my plan for my FFXI character:
BAM!
Homeland: Republic of Bastok

Main job will be White mage till lvl 20,
Then i will make Warrior my main and W.mage sub.

Lvl up warrior to 40 then go for the Paladin.
make Paladin my main and warrior my sub.

Then lvl up paladin to lvl 60 and go for samurai(when its added)
Then im gonna be a Samurai/paladin.

So im gonna be a Holy samurai :thumbsup:

Serpent
04-07-2003, 07:42 PM
Lvl Warrior to 30 and theif to 15 then get to paladin and maxing the paladins lvl with warrior being my sub.

Jobs ill max out are Dark Knight , and Red Mage.

Jobs ill lvl to 30 are White Mage,Theif, Black Mage and Monk.

Vision of Jirat classes I want to max out or try are Ninja, Samurai and Dragoon.

There you go, years of game play right there :sweat:

Elvaan Dragoon
04-07-2003, 08:12 PM
I'll be a warrior/undecided until I can be a Dragoon/Paladin or reversed

ZtotheKatz
04-08-2003, 09:33 PM
I am definatly gonna rock the Brd/Whm combo, unless that new patch that stops overlaying songs really screws bards and makes them useless. If that happens, ill play Whm/Blm. Id also like to make a monk/theif. That monk armor is just too cool.

angelbear894
04-08-2003, 10:24 PM
gonna start as a red mage then after sub job quest i be blackmage/white mage.. i wanna explore all jobs tho.

jdoe
04-09-2003, 03:22 AM
I've seen the notion of combining dragoon and paladin and this raises a question... if the dragoon is anything like the one in tactics, you're not going to get much dex or agi... ditto for paladin... couple that with being elvaan (low dex and sickeningly low agi) and won't that make it difficult to hit the target and well nigh impossible to avoid being hit? I haven't played the game yet, therefore cannot accurately assess the effect of abysmally low numbers in these two categories. Someone with more knowledge please help.

Ughh I'm gonna make samurai not sure if I want to sub job...ughh anyone got descriptions on the sub jobs? Me need it to be very descriptive or see them in action. ^-^

Janus Zeal
04-09-2003, 05:32 PM
Hmm a sub-job is in fact a support job, it can be any of the jobs.

You do a quest at Level 18 to have the ability to have a sub-job and it can be any job then (except using two times the same one)

you can have a Basic/Basic, Basic/Advanced, Basic/Expansion, Advanced/Basic, Advanced/Advanced, Advanced/Expansion, Expansion/Basic, Expansion/Advanced, Expansion/Expansion for jobs

Would basic be warrior? Advance would be Dark Knight, and Expasion would be Samurai?
