    Hi. I'm new to the site, and relatively new to FFXI Online. I havn't yet played it, but I have been planning out what I'd be. I decided to become a Red Mage with a Black Mage Sub-Type. I just had a question; what'm I in for?

    My point was is that the Origional Poster did not come her asking for a bunch of information on every aspect of the game analyzing his decisions. He came her on information on Redmage.

      And the basic game dynamics fit the parameter of the question. "I havn't yet played it" Your point is?

        My point is if somebody wants to be a Red Mage don't go all into detail of the dynamics of the game, give them information on Red Mage and what he can expect.

          And if someone is new to the game, give them information so they can make the right decisions. The OP is new, hence the information.

            Re: Just a question

            Well, to answer the original question. With a BLM sub, you're in for lacking bar-ra, -na and -ga spells that WHM offers. You won't have Paeon, Madrigal, or Ballad from subbing BRD. You won't have dual wield, tonko or utsusemi from subbing NIN. You will have more INT, warp, and BLM -ga spells.

            But otherwise, the information above applies. You can't change your race, so think long and hard about it. You can't change your name, so consider that too. You can change your job. People will expect you to change your job or subjob depending on circumstances. While playing you may find that you want to try out other things you didn't expect to like.

            My suggestion is this: Make sure you're careful about all that stuff above then move onto your leveling plan. The more time you effectively level your best job the better financial leverage you have to level experimental or fun jobs. For instance, you can level RDM to 18, open your subjob, level your BLM to 37, then level RDM all the way to 75 if you so desire. Minimum effort with maximum effect. Now, as I said, you may at times use WHM, BRD, or NIN--at least those are the subs I notice most often. So once you have RDM sufficiently high, you will be able to make money so that you can buy decent gear (or obtain it yourself). In addition, you will understand the game enough to work more efficiently at another job. Many times EXP party is a means to an end. It can be fun, but it can also be a chore, so the better you do it the quicker you reach your goal and do something fun.

              Re: Just a question

              Thank's everyone for all the information. I'm going to try the game out as a Hume for a while, and After some thinking I'm having second thought's about my sub-type. White Mage also has alot to offer, and I'm having a tough decision choosing, but if I can just switch from a WHM to a BLM then I'm not going to put much thought into it at the moment. I'll just do what I like. ^^ Lol I've had FFXI for about a year or so, but I just now got around to buying a new video card. Other one was wayyy too crappy and wouldn't let me play. Couldn't support something...can't quite remember what it was. But hopefully after I get this one installed this week I'll be able to play. Once Again, thanks everyone.

              Double Post Edited:
              And as for a name, do you think The one I have right now would work? If it's not already taken? Vega Obscura I mean.

                Well no spaces are allowed so it would be Vegaobscura. It's sort of an obscure name so I think you have a good chance at it not being taken!

                  Re: Just a question

                  I wasn't sure what sub job to pick before I started either, so I did some reseach and made this chart to compare the two:
                  http://www.ffxionline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27970
                  I made a post more recently on the 4th page about what your early life as a rdm will be like and what advantages each sub has as you grow up.

                  One mistake I made that you seem to be making too is getting into the mindset that you need to pick a subjob and stick with it for the rest of your life. This is far from true. I ended up leveling both whm and blm to sub depending on my own needs or the party setup, and am in the process of leveling bard, ninja, and thief among others to sub for specific purposes.

                  As Icemage said, don't overthink your decision. Pick something and run with it and if it turns out you don't like it, trying something else is as easy as walking into your mog house. A broader experience will only work in your favor and possibly help you appreciate the game and your fellow players more.
