Havent you read the FFXI history? We, Bastok, kicked San'doria's ass in that major battle. What makes you think the future will be so different? Join San'doria, I don't care, but be prepared to be humliated by the Republic of Bastok. Another thing... don't call them "kingdoms" because only San'doria is a Kingdom... Bastok is a Republic, and Windurst is a Federation, not a lousy Kingdom...

The Age Of Power

The use of magic brought both happiness and conflict to the other races of Vana’diel. Perhaps the most satisfied were the proud Elvaan, who made their home in the Kingdom of San d'Oria in the northern reaches of the old continent. With the Tarutaru monopoly on magic broken, the Elvaan were able to create powerful orders of knights who feared no adversary.

Beastmen strongholds and Tarutaru villages alike fell before the power of the knights of San d'Oria. Within a short time, nearly the entire Quon continent had come under San d’Orian control.

But pride comes before the fall.
The nation of Bastok, founded by the Hume and Galka races, lay on the southern edge of the Quon continent. Fortified by the growing economic and intelligence-gathering abilities of the Hume race, Bastokan forces crushed the elite San d'Orian knights at the Second Battle of Konschtat. Cutting-edge firearms technology turned the tide of battle and cemented victory for the people of Bastok. This humiliating defeat sent the Kingdom of San d'Oria into an age of internal turmoil and civil war. Piece by piece, territories that the Elvaan had conquered slipped from their grasps.

Oh... what's that? San'doria sucked/sucks? That's what I thought. Face it, Bastok is the superior. We crushed the ELITE San'dorians. Hah, stupid San'dorians... think they are so good.

YOU didnt kick anyone's ass, thats old history. This is present time, and Bastok has got nothing on San d'Oria.

And this is kind of pointless anyway, since we're all on the same side to begin with (read: world alliance). I chose San d'Oria because it is superior in my mind. Its different from the generic industrial land of Bastok and the organic land of Windurst.

For Rndm: the Elvaan aren't average, humes are. Elvaans specialize in tactical fighting, special skills, warrior and samurai abilities, etc.

Yep, and Humans specialize in... well, um, nothing

So do Red Mages... They and do everything good, but nothing great.

Basically, to specialize in something, you must suck at something else. Humes dont suck at anything, but they arent great at anything, so thats why I'm being a hume, for balance.

Same here... That's why I'm also gonna be a Red Mage... They are a Mix of Black Mage, White Mage, and a Warrior. I think I will start from there until lvl 30 then expand to another job.

(Oh, and I like the Red Mage outfit

)

Before I was thinking of being a hume red mage/thief.

So when someone asked me how good i was all round i could proudly say, "Moderately"

I'm still trying to figure out how getting abilities works... on shadow-dragons it lists all the abilities you get at certain levels... but what if you switch jobs? Do you become a lvl-1 person at your new job, are do you start getting abilities from the high level you started the new job at?

in other words...

(fictional abilities)

Black Mage:
lvl 1-Fire
lvl 2-water
lvl 3-Ice
lvl 4-Thunder
lvl 5-Death

White Mage
lvl 1-Cure
lvl 2-Luck
lvl 3-Revive
lvl 4-Cura
lvl 5-lucka (running out of ideas here

)

Ok... imagine you start a new guy as a black mage from level 1-3, then switch to white, would you be:

You:
lvl 1-Fire
lvl 2-Water
lvl 3-Ice
lvl 4-Cura
lvl 5-Lucka

or

You:
lvl 1-Fire
lvl 2-Water
lvl 3-Ice
lvl 4-Cure
lvl 5-Luck

Or am I completly confused about how new abilities are gained

Balanced meaning average everything. And... Humaa meaning Hume, heh.
