    Default What Class will you start off as?

    (if you're making a new character at launch)

    Archer for me most likely. You?

    That is hard to decide for me. Many of them look promising.

    I'm not making a new character at launch (well, probably not, I might make one eventually, dunno), but I will continue to rock my Paladin as best as I can. Really hoping it trumps the Warrior, although I'll inevitably use that a lot, too. Tankin' for life.

    I never played FF14 original (didn't have a good enough computer at the time) so this will be my first time playing. I plan on going Black Mage or Monk though.

    I've got Thaumaturge (BLM), Conjurer (WHM), and Archer (BRD) at 50 already on my main, and I'll continue spending time with them, but when ARR is out, I'm planning on leveling my lancer (which I believe is level 20 right now). After that, I'll run over to arcanist. There are going to be so many people leveling arcanist because it's new right at launch that I figured doing something different will probably be helpful.

    I... have no idea. I really only messed around a bit with Gladiator in 1.0. I wanted to do archer, as that is most similar to my main in EverQuest many years ago (which was a ranger), but that was not a very good starter class in 1.0. But that has supposedly changed for ARR, so I might try that.

    Maybe Archer? I have no idea. I'd have to see what particular jobs require in certain classes. I do love me some Paladin, so what class would that start as?

    I'll keep playing whm and mnk and drg, probably. Mostly whm, cause no one i play with wants to play support.

    If I make a new character sometime, it'll probably be a black mage, because variation.

    Conjurer to 15, Gladiator to 30 for Paladin.

    I registered to be a beta tester. My PC might not be enough, but I hope for the best.

    Anyway, I would like to play as Dragoon/Paladin/Summoner. Those are my favourites throughout the series.

    I've had a scout online and I think if I were to play this game I'd be a Dragoon or a Bard!

    That mean you would have to start as a Lancer, with sub class of Pugilist or an Archer with sub class Conjuer. For me its Archer all day, everyday.

    Yeah most likely ARCH > CONJ > BARD for me... although also considering CONJ into WHM, but Bard looks like it'll be fun fun.

    Forget everything I said about dragoon. It's on the back burner. Scholar has been confirmed as available from launch. I will be playing arcanist before anything else.

    not sure but like most mmos I like to try all classes and have multiple alts. I thinking I'll start with conj and go white mage as my main as I was one in FFXI and loved it also will go black mage at some point too.
    However I will have a archer/bard character and a lancer/dragoon. I'm also interested in the Arcanist/summoner so I'll definitely give those a try.
