  • Starting Area?

    I've got an interesting question for the Beta/Japanese players. Point me in the right direction if this has been asked before but: Does it matter what area you start in as a monk? Is there a better starting point for certain monk only missions? (I heard you can only do the missions from your starting area, and quests from any area). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    PS: Picking height for characters: If I picked a Tall Elvaan over a Short one, would he look more "lanky"? (Like Amarant from FFIX). Or would it be the other way around. Thanks again.

    Personally I would start in Windurst because they have a lot of conquest monk items from what I hear, and regarding your 2nd question from screenshots I have seen the taller the Elvaan the skinner they are. There arms normally reach down to about there knee's and there necks are longer and they sort of resemble apes.

      What about Mithra's - tall or short?

      And do characters get certain emotes? Like, can Mithra's roll around on the floor? :p

        Windurst by far has the best CP items for mnk. Rank 2 gear is MNK/SAM/NIN only. Nearly everything beyond Rank 2 is equippable by monk, and useful. Rank 5 has a great h2h weapon (DMG:+15, Attack+10, Defense-10, iirc).

        As far as elvaans go... my arms certainly do not reach my knees, nor do i look like an ape >.<

          I always heard that short Elvaan female looked just fine, but that if you go taller than that, they start to look "weird". Which height is your Elvaan, Mithrael? If that is medium or tall, then I don't see why people complain.

          Edit: There's unfortunately no race-specific emotes.
          The sole thing that one possess throughout their entire life is hope.

            i don't remember which height i picked >.< probably small.

            the emotes aren't specific, but each race/gender looks quite different doing the same emotes. the taru panic looks like they're dancing, while the elvaan female panic looks like i'm singing a love song to someone. the mithra cheering someone on looks like they are punching them in the stomach; mine looks like i'm holding my hands over my head and golf-clapping.

              When i first joined my linkshell and was meeting some of the people, I remember seeing one tall elvaan male warrior and saying, 'Look at that lanky dude'.

                Thanks a lot to everyone. You guys helped me finalize everything. I guess I'll be starting a Tall Elvaan Monk in Windurst. What server is everyone from?
