FFXI Character Classes

kupoartist · Mar 6th, 2002, 02:12 PM

Despite the horrible lack of enthusiasm for the forthcomming PS2 and PC online FF game, I'm gonna post this anyway.

Quote:

New information regarding Final Fantasy XI's available job classes has been reported among other aspects of the game. Players can choose from at least fifteen job classes, including Warrior, Thief, Monk, White Mage, Red Mage, Black Mage, Knight, Summoner, Bard, Ninja, Samurai, Gunner, Hunter, Dark Knight and Tamer.

So I put it to You: What class do you want to be in FFXI? (feel free to make suggestions about what other classes you'd like to see as well...)

Being a knight would be cool but I'm into katana's and what not so I'd more than likely be a samurai!!

IcyMourdor · Mar 6th, 2002, 06:11 PM

[COLOR=sky blue]I don't know what'd I be.

Either Samurai or Dark Knight

Samurai: I've been interested in Anicent Japan and the Samurais of old. Plus, katanas are very graceful and kickass weapons.

Dark Knight: Hell, Mourdor means Dark Knight. It'd be pretty fun to make my character after my story.[/COLOR]

i like to be a gunner!

I'd probably be either a Knight, Monk, or Hunter. But what the heck is a Tamer?

IcyMourdor · Mar 7th, 2002, 08:32 AM

[COLOR=sky blue]Tamers catch monsters when their HP is low and then use them against other enemies. The last game to use this tactic was FFV.

FFT uses this too, to a certain extent.[/COLOR]

I personally would love to see Dragoon as a class... yet It hasn't been announced...

Apart from that I want to be a Black Mage or Gunner (interesting idea, wonder how it'll fit in with the game-world tho...)

DreamSharpShooter · Mar 7th, 2002, 06:55 PM

i hope that the gunner will have nice abilities, not only the abilities that it has in FFT....there werent bad, but very few....

Sword 4 Hire · Mar 7th, 2002, 10:58 PM

Dragoon's rule...their armor is kicka$$

Soul Angel · Mar 11th, 2002, 02:52 PM

I'm not that brillantly familier with Job classes, but from the ones which I know I guess I wouldn't mind being a summoner, but I hope that there normal attacks won't be weak like you usually find in FF games

Luckily, you'll be able to mix and match with classes to the extent that you can have a secondary job class. Summoners are naturally weak as they tend to be put on the back row, but if you so wish you could have a Summoner/Knight that Summons and fights. Though i do believe there is a EXP penalty to the jobs if you choose a second...

Potentially you could have some intresting mixes, but you'd have to avoid some defunct ones (ie. Red/Black Mage - as Reds already have black magic...)

Sword 4 Hire · Mar 11th, 2002, 08:28 PM

Oh sweet, then I'll be a Samurai/Gunner

IcyMourdor · Mar 11th, 2002, 09:45 PM

[COLOR=sky blue]If this game is going online, than mixing classes won't be possible. Online RPGs usually have groups of players. The "tanks" will be in front while the magic-users will stay in back.[/COLOR]

kupoartist · Mar 12th, 2002, 03:29 PM

I'm not sure where I read it, and I can't find it on the FFXI beta Site (can't read Japanese, and Babelfish is only slightly better...) But the game is supposed to have "Moogle Houses" where you choose secondary jobs. (Though it does remain to be seen if there be a limit on what kind of jobs you could select...)

Already FFXI looks like it won't be like other Online RPGs, and the common mould of "tanks" and casters is already broken by the Red Mage (a Multi low level magic fighter).

IcyMourdor · Mar 14th, 2002, 11:10 AM

[COLOR=sky blue]Yes, the Red Mage stands out. He can use multiple abilities, but he can master none. You won't see a Dark Knight with master White Magic is what i mean.[/COLOR]

kupoartist · Mar 14th, 2002, 02:00 PM

Perhaps not a master, but at least they'll be a nice ammount of customisation in above existing MMORPGs... though i'm kinda worried i'm gonna be the only one playing :/
