Mithra's..........Help

[Zacharias]

Ok I have not started FFX1yet but when i do im trying to figure out what to be. I thought about this and i have come to the conclusion that i want to be a Mithra,(yes i am a guy). Ok so now i need to figure out what Job to be. First thing that came to mind was a thief but soon lost intrest in the idea so im thinking of a Ranger. I am a constant user of the website GameFaqs.com. so i looked on there for answer. One of the FAQ's is labeled Job/Sub Job mixes. I double Click. It says the two best combinations for RNG are Thief, Samurai, and for people who are as rich as Bill Gates Ninja. My Question about all this is. Is the Mithra so Futile that is only has about four good base classes (of which i like none). So should i just settle with one of those the jobs, dont care about what anyone says and just be a monk or something, or just change my class all together. If you have an answer to my question plz right back or tell me a site the i can go to to look at Job/ Sub Job combinations.

(thank you for enduring this message i will probaly be hunted down and beaten for makingit so long )

Any race can more or less play as any class, the differences aren't that big.

It is not too much of a problem

I started a Galka (I did want to be Mithra originally) but re-rolled for a Mithra when I changed servers.

There are differences but none to the extent that you will "gimp" yourself.

Personally, I much prefer playing as a Mithra (yes they are girls, I think of it as being a tomboy!) as they look really cool.

Also, I am aiming to be a ranger eventually, hence why I am starting off as a theif!

Thank you both for your answers i know after a little experience from the game Everquest that you can get "gimps" from you race, but now following your answers i conclude that i will be whatever i want

from what i read, the high DEX rating is desirable from mithra for offensive meelee classes such as DRK or DRG. i'm aiming for DRK.

while other races try to boost their DEX as a offensive attacker, mithra will try to boost STR. so statwise, they somewhat even out.

mithra as mages? personally, i think mages that aren't taru are gimp. taru's MP pool is what counts as a mage.

i was a mithra BLM for a while but it just sucked compared to tarus.
