noob question

[Intrigue]

can mages wear plate style armor? or are the restricked to robes etc like in most rpg's?


And can they use swords/axes/bows?




I dont want hear from anyone that its not practical etc cause your a mage I just want to know if they can.


And if they cant. Can you gain the ability to do so with a subjob?

ok for the bad news

i'll limit my responce to black mage because this is the black mage forum and all... the other mages have better armor/weapons than us, but i certinally don't care.. i'm in it for the spellbursts...

anyways, BLM (black mage) can only use the lightest of armors and the most wimpy of weapons. So yes, we're prettymuch talking robes and staves.. daggers...

Subjobs sadly don't give you any ability to equip items your main job can't, as far as i've heard. Except i believe a Ranger subjob lets you use guns/bows... although i don't think BLM/RNG would be very practical...

Personally, i'd like to be wearing dark knight AF, just for the look, but... alas...

thanks for the response. I'll post again in the white and red mage sections to see if theres much difference.

Just ordered the game and figuring out what things I can try before it gets here
