Unlike most MMORPGs, FFXI allows you to switch your character class any time you return to your home base. Thus, you can try out any or all of the jobs without losing your progress in the game. In fact, it's encouraged to work on more than one of your jobs because eventually you get the ability to have a "subjob", and the more work you put into your secondary job, the stronger you'll be overall.
That's why I've decided to give Monk a break for a while and work on gaining some levels in Warrior. The two jobs pair well because they rely on front line physical attacks. While I lose all my kung-fu moves while rocking Warrior, I make up for it with better armor (including pants...no more drafts!), a shield, and a giant axe. I'm already up to level 11 in Warrior...check me out!
I don't think I can support any job class that shuns thigh belts!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they'll make a return eventually!
