w00t, I got my check card in the mail today. Actually, I got it yesterday but nobody checked the mail so it sat outside all night. I've been waiting for this for a while, now I can order stuff thru the net using my own account. Next paycheck I get is going into the checking account... all of it. That's basically gonna be my "preorder FFXI" money.
Yeah so, that's basically all I've been thinking about for the past few days. FFXI. It's not coming out for over two months, so I'm going to have to figure out some way to survive until then. It's too far away...
What I do before every online RPG that I'm planning on buying comes out, is plan out the character. And I've been thinking a lot about what I'm going to want to play once I get FFXI. I originally wanted a Ninja/BlackMage, but I've lately decided that I want something way more versatile, like a BlackMage/Whitemage, or a Summoner/WhiteMage. Or basically anything with WhiteMage on the end of it. I came to a realization that if I'm not part white mage, I won't be able to do cool stuff like heal people or bring people back to life. Black Magic is what I'm most interested in, and it would be cool to be able to do white magic on top of that, and be a really useful character.
I'll probably end up leveling up in everything though, as I have a lot of trouble deciding what I want to do in a game with so many possibilities.
You guys that are playing FFXI should post the kind of character you want to make in the comments.
Posted by at August 14, 2003 03:53 PMHey jOE. Yeah, so ive been thinking about this alot too. Im sure this will change before i get the game, but i think ill start out with a warrior taru-taru, after like 5 levels, get some money, and get a few skills in my sword skill, i think ill go for a Warrior (or thief)/Redmage. Im thinking a base fighter so maybe a monk, with a long ranged weapon and sword(like pepe), and my second job will be redmage. I want black and i want white magic, so ill just take the hardest road to get it all. I knw that red mages dont learn blk and white magic at the same rate as them each on their own, but i think he could be bad ass. But i still want my base skill just a fighter class. Ill do more resarch and maybe repost.
