You suck at advice, and hard. Hell, you even forgot to mention one of the six basic classes :P Dragoons are useful if you know what you're doing, and the Summoner's summons are only worthwhile at ridiculously high levels due to the bugs in thier combat system.

My own rundown-

White Mage (WHM) are the hardest to solo but the easiest to party with. Either play WHM and sub as Summoner or play Summoner and sub WHM. Black Mage is also an acceptable sub, although generally not preferred. Tarus are great for this class, but if you pick Taru and you want to change to a warrior, you're pretty much screwed. Human are good too.

Thief (THF) is a pretty good class. You can go a lot of ways with them. You'll be useful for your bonus damage sneak attack and your ability to find rarer items than most people can. Play as anything but Taru. I wouldn't pick Galka either, but I could see why someone would want to.

Monk (MNK) is a decent mix between a damage dealer and a tank. I find that a lot of people who don't really know what they want to do play as a Human Monk.

Warrior (WAR) is a very tank-oriented class. You'll want to bind your provoke ability to a key in order to keep the monster focused on you, and then use your superior HP and armor to stay alive. White Mages and Red Mages will keep you alive while the combat classes will whittle away at the monster. You can do quite a bit of damage too, but that's not your primary role, and it's more of an added bonus for being the tank. Be anything but Taru.

Black Mage (BLM) is basically the nuke launcer of the party. His spells are ridiculously powerful, but he can't cast too many of them in a short period of time or he will draw the wrath of the monster away from the Warrior, and the poor mage will almost certainly die in only a hit or two. If you've made up your mind, be a Taru. Otherwise, be a human.

Red Mage (RDM) is half White Mage and half Black Mage. He also gets some special Red Mage-only spells of his own. Don't make the mistake of overlooking this class. While it would seem smarter to be a full power White Mage or full power Black Mage than being half power of both, the Red Mage's versatility and unique spells makes it an excellent support class, able to fit the mold of whatever role is required. He also starts off as a very strong fighter, but his fighting strength does not go up much each level, and by the time you reach high level you will be no better off than the other mages in physical combat. Be a Taru or a Human.

In general, if you have no clue what you want to do, pick Human as your race. Humans can do just about anything, so there's plenty of room for turning back. If you know you're a spellcaster, pick Taru. If you know you're a fighter, pick Mithra. If you know you're a tank, pick Galka.<hr></blockquote>

Dracoon Posts: 1566/3727	And yet you think like 4000 or 2000 gil is anything? It has costed me over 1,000,000 for everything I have. (Of course I have done almost every job.) Including question Utsusemi instead of buying it.
Utilityman Posts: 795/813	I think I'm truly starting to get into this game... the linkshell I'd been for a few weeks prior suddenly up and died because their leader quit and no one could be promoted. Everyone hurried to Bastok as fast as they could to start a new one, and after my chipping in of half the new shell price, and all the names they suggested were taken, they had to go with mine - Oathkeepers are we. It's unbelievable how much more fun any online game is when you have a massive group of friendlies to share it with - certainly with something as dynamic as a linkshell. Blitzen, taru, currently 40PLD/20WAR on Seraph.
Jarukoth Posts: 1930/3194	I haven't played in a while, but I am considering starting up again soon. Not sure if I'm gonna stick with my thief, though...
Dracoon Posts: 1559/3727	I play it almost every day. Believe me I am good. Dragoon level 14 as of today, but I am supposed to be working on Summoner (20)
Jack-Al Posts: 173/284	I haven't played in a while, but I still play it once in a while. I got the Chains of Promathia expansion pack a few days ago, so I'll probably start playing again over weekends.
Utilityman Posts: 792/813	I
macks Posts: 409/900	I just bought this. Does anyone from here still play it?
Dracoon Posts: 857/3727	Yeah it does, except certain places and dungeons, but otherwise you can go where ever you want when ever you want. Be careful of monsters that aggroe though because they will kill you. I had to fight 4 Yagudo at one time and I had to use my 2 hour ability. Oh you will love the chocobo. I hoped I confused someone.
Cruel Justice Posts: 71/1384	God! I need an internet cable for my PS2! Also wanna get FFXI... looks so freaking cool! With gameplay and storyboard like that, you could play forever! Build your ego between your friends (I AM THE CHAMPION!!!) and play online every now and then. I used to do the same with Everquest. I wonder if this game will let you roam around and do whatever you please?
mrmenz Posts: 124/347	Originally posted by HarkenSlash Is there a trial version of Final Fantasy 11 on PC I can download? As far as ive seen no, im gonna get my parents to hook up me up with a debit card so I can play this, just won it on Ebay.

Darknean Posts: 3/5	Originally posted by Dark Sorceress Also something that really pisses me off about the game is the fact that people are stupid. I have been in horrible parties cause no one knows what they are doing. I was in a party with a White Mage TANKING!!! That is the biggest mistake ever. Right next to having the White Mage pull in monsters. The problem with multiplayer games is that you need to play them with others
Dark Sorceress Posts: 69/107	I will say that the most boring part of this game is leveling up until you get your subjob and chocobo license. Also something that really pisses me off about the game is the fact that people are stupid. I have been in horrible parties cause no one knows what they are doing. I was in a party with a White Mage TANKING!!! That is the biggest mistake ever. Right next to having the White Mage pull in monsters. The story is good though. Something that MMORPGs lack. As for dial up play, it works really well. The game was well programed and doesn't lag much on a dial up, if it does lag, it is usually in town near auction houses. Most notibly in the town of Jeuno. Getting a world pass is easy, considering that getting gil is rather simple if you are experienced. I just auction off all the dropped junk that I don't need (mostly crystals)
Angel Posts: 169/573	I made and trashed characters for two hours trying to get with my friend, by then he bought me a world pass. I still say the only reason most people buy this game is because its square.
Utilityman Posts: 642/813	Yeah, but someone who knows what they're doing can usually scrape up the funds needed in an hour or two of game time, starting from scratch. Or you could just keep making and trashing characters and hope to get dropped on the right world
Angel Posts: 167/573	I have a question for all you current players of this game. Do they still have the retarded world pass buisness going on?
Utilityman Posts: 637/813	Okay... it's the end of the term here, and the guy who owns the computer I was playing this on notified me the other day that he's moving out and he trashed my char. Inevitable I guess. So this'll probably be the first game I pick up after I get some small upgrades for my computer. What I'm getting at is... I'm going home, and I'm just curious how this game performs on dialup (I'll probably hijack one of my friends' DSL connections to grab the updates). Anyone?
Jarukoth Posts: 345/3194	Oops, almost forgot! My server is Bismarck, and my town is Bastok. I'm a hume!
solid-tbone Posts: 23/34	Name: Trashman Server: Leviathan Region: Bastok Job: Warrior I am going with the sam strategy you are jarukoth. I heard it's the best for dealing a lot of damage. I am going this route as well. My life is getting shorter cause of this game but I love it.
Dark Sorceress Posts: 38/107	Originally posted by mrmenz Damn this sux, at the moment I have no access to a credit card and probobly wont for quite awhile maybe one day PlayOnline will expand their payment options but for now im screwed. Get a check card. That is what I use and you can get that really easily. Just open a checking account and ask for a check card.
