Soon-to-be new player...few questions! Help appreciated! <333
Well, I have FFXI for the Xbox 360 coming on Saturday and before I start, I have a few questions. I've played World of Warcraft for the past four years almost, and am SICK of it. Let me start off from character creation...
1. I plan to create an Elvaan. I would like to make a white or black mage...even though the website specifies that Elvaan are mainly swordsmen, is this still possible, or a good option? How hard will this effect my stats?
2. I recall reading somewhere that you can choose two classes/jobs. A main, and a secondary. Is this true? If so, is it a switchable thing, or is it like your main class, you get all the abilities of and your secondary you just get a few? (I.E. a black mage that can cast a few healing spells, a warrior that can cast a few black magic spells, etc.)
3. Since I'm getting it for the Xbox 360, I also have a rather nifty keyboard coming in the mail. The keyboard comes with a nifty mouse, too.
Will the mouse be necessecary/work with the Xbox 360 version?
4. What are the most commonly played classes/jobs...I know it varies from server-to-server, but in Warcraft the most played were Druids, Mages, Rogues. I want to play a class people rarely come across but are needed in a group scene (but can also fight quite well solo, hence a white mage with black mage secondary (if possible) )
5. Is there any way to check to see if a name is available on realms BEFORE starting the game, since obviously I have a few days to wait? Or could I recruit somebody to check for me?
Thanks much people, that's all I have. I've searched the internet high and low for these answers but I can't find them - you're my last hope!!
