I declare that when the time of game getting begins we will hold a grand vote!

TheGame · 08-25-2003, 03:16 PM

that means we will have peeps all across the spectrum... even if everybody is seperated it would be cool to all be on the same server.

As for my final decision regarding my race and job... Looks like I'm going to be a Warrior, then a White Mage, then a Paladin. I'm going to go ahead and make myself Hume.

As for Kingdom

... well, whoever needs me to party up with them the most I will follow. I'm just a real defensive player. I would like to party with another white Mage... then completly offensive guys.

-EDIT-

We should decide how we want to mold the party completly... hopfully we can get every element at our desposal.

If we are all in seperate Kingdoms, you'll find it to be quite difficult for us to meet up soon. I know a person who has the PS2 beta and has been playing non stop since June, and hes only just left his kingdom. To further understand what I mean, check out the Vanadiel world map: http://www.shadow-dragons.com/vana'diel.htm

San d'Oria is furthest to the North, my kind of Kingdom. All you southern fools in Bastok and Windurst shall feel the wrath of the ancient San d'Orian black knights!

well, its sorta depending on tastes. Windurst is the more organic, magical kingdom with lots of beautiful scenary and such, home to the Tarutaru and the Mirtha. Bastok is an industrial town, built on economic structure. its more of a dirty, mining town, which is home to the Humes and Galka. San d'Oria is the more sophisticated and prestigious town, with the honourable Elvaan.

Bastok and San d'Oria share the old continent of Quon, and Windurst is on the smaller, sort of forgotten continent. In the middle is the border town, the Grand Duchy of Jeuno.

hmm, is the special ring you get for starting in the correct kingdom important? If so no way I'll start in Windurst

Dylflon · 08-25-2003, 07:31 PM

the ring isn't very good.

it's only okay.

you find better stuff easily.

Heh... Me and DarkMaster just had a discussion about the 3 places in FFXI. Windurst is like the "poor African country" of the World, Bastok is like the "America" of the world, while San'doria is the "Japan" of the world. Badically Windurst is just... uh.. I dont know how to explain it. But it's not really anything special. Bastok is supposed to be a nation of power. We (I say "we" because I have chosen Bastok) will rule the world with our technology and tons of cash because we are practically sitting on a gold mine. San'doria is supposed to be a place of intelligence, but hah! We'll see how smart they are when they're precious Kigndom is getting it's arse kicked!!! *evil laughter* They just think so are so good... The Republic Of Bastok, the foundation of power in FFXI will rule all!

Heh heh....

By the way, Rndm and I seem to be the only ones who are starting from Bastok.. anyone else is welcome to join us.

Dylflon · 08-25-2003, 08:51 PM

Well, I guess we're not all starting in the same kingdom. But with world passes, I'll make sure we're all on the same server.

Well..I'm gonna be Hume......... and I'm gonna be a Paladin (Light version of what you are)........ maybe, just maybe. (if you are my only friend to start there you better help me with my level mr PC head-start man)

I like things about all countries though... I think Bastok is the all around best, but I think it will be over-populated, and it will have the most casual gamers. While I think windurst is the worst by far on paper I think that more serious gamers will come there, and it will be uner populated so every person there will be of some value especially outside races... I could see them coming together like one big gang before any other country.

San'doria... is... well, Middle of the road in some sense... because of thier lack of variety, I think there power will come in pure numbers.

Crono · 08-25-2003, 09:21 PM

Well, you don't need to be from Bastok if you're going to be a Hume. But, Rndm isn't gettign FFXi until the ps2 version, so if you're getting the pc one you can join me early on (if you're going to be from Bastok). And you're right... Bastok probably will end up with the most people. But that is a good thing... and I'd like to be a rare "smart person" in Bastok, if you know what I mean, heh.

And, instead of having one coutnry has the "hq" for the Gt thing... we could be scattered around and have several divisions of our "clan", like Bastok Division, Windurst Division, and San'doria Division.

TheGame · 08-25-2003, 09:26 PM

I'm getting the Ps2 one... what I was saying was you may be a high level before I even come... so I would want to tag along for some of yor missions to level up quickly.

DarkMaster · 08-25-2003, 10:21 PM

All those who oppose the mighty lands of San d'Oria shall receive nothing less than a most brutal death. You dare to strike us down, but you shall strike us no more, for let it be known, that the hand who tries to rid us of our greatness and honor shall be swiftly cut down.

We will plague the land of Vana Diel with the enrichment of our power, for we are wise beyond the likes of the feign devils to the south. The foolish, arrogant, greedy men of Bastok, who hunger for power, but shall attain nothing more than an embarassing defeat. And the lowly beings on the continent time forgot are no match for the likes of our great army, the Gustav Van Dier!

I shall smite thee, and all who oppose the mighty kingdom of San d'Oria, future rulers of Vana Diel!

BTW... the article at shadow-dragons.com says that the first 30 days are free, then a 12.95 USD fee will be charged per month (roughly $18.20 CAD).
