FFXI Require alot of time?

[KentaRawr!]

I will give the best explenation of this game I can.

1. Battle system. This is alot like Ragnarok! You select "Attack" and then watch your character attack the enemy.. But there are also many skills to keep it from being luck based. Weapon skills! As you attack more, you learn skills for whatever weapon you were using, to use a Weapon skill, the Technique Point bar must fill up to a certain point first. Magic! You buy Magic from the store >_> Once you get to a certain level, you'll be able to use the "Scroll" of Magic you baught. Skill Chains and Magic Bursts! Skill Chains and Magic Bursts are created when you and your group select certain weapon skills and Magic at the right time. (Note, there are three types of magic, Red, Black, and White. I will explain more about this later) Job Abilities! Every job gets job abilities. As you level up you automaticly get more job abilities. Pet Commands! These are commands only Beast Masters and Summoners can use. This command makes your Pet Attack, Retreat, and stuff like that.

2. Jobs! As you can guess, there will be many jobs in this game, First up is...

Warrior! You would probobly think "All warriors are Muscle Heads!" but actually, they are usually used for Defense, because they get the ability "Provoke", which makes the enemy hate the Warrior, making the Enemy go towards the Warrior.

Monk! Just like other FF games, the Monk uses His or Her fists to attack. They can attack twice since they have two fists.

White Mage! If you have EVER Played an FF game, its obvious what White Mages do.. They heal, Cast spells that improve stats, get hammers, (Don't ask...) and in FFXI..alot of them are rude ;-; (Except me HAHAHAHAHA)

Black Mage! Once again, this should be obvious. Black Mages Deal damage, Cast spells that cause status effects, get Daggers (Don't ask...) And alot of them are really Polite! ^_^

Red Mage! These mages get three types of spells! Red, White, and Black. (basically they only get Black and White, but I say Red Magic because they get White magic and Black magic that no one else gets) these Mages also use Swords quite alot, and some slightly better armor. Sadly though...since they are so balanced, they are usually yelled at by fools who only care about the game saying "YOU DO THIS! NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!!!!" Poor Red Mages... ;-;

Thief! They may be called Thieves, but you never really see them stealing stuff. Thieves get the Abilities Trick Attack and Sneak Attack (usually called SATA) These abilities can cause major damage if done correctly!

3. Advanced Jobs! Ok...at Level 30 you can get Special jobs called "Advanced Jobs" ...sounds like Ragnarok >_> Anyways, here are the Advanced Jobs!

Paladin! Defense at its best! Not much Attack power though.. Paladins get Alot of defense, Some White Magic, great armor, and huge swords!! ^_^

Dark Knight! Opposite of Paladin 99%. Lots of Attack power, low defense, some black magic, but heres what is the same about the two...Awsome armor and huge swords!

Ninja! Ninja's can Throw items, use 2 swords, and many Ninja techniques! yay!

Samurai! Huge 2 handed swords, TP (Technique Points) bar fills up quick, and im assuming lots of attack power! ^_^

Dragoon! I like the Dragoon, they use Spears, jump high into the air, and can summon a Baby Wyvern every 2 Hours (note, the Wyvern will stay with you until he/she dies. Then when the 2 hours pass, you can summon him/her again)

Summoners! These Mages get tons of MP!! And of course, they can summon many beasts >=) (1 at a time, sadly =<)

Beast Masters! The only FF Game with a Beast Master that I know of besides XI is FFTA. (allthough the Mediator in FFT could trick beasts into joining you, too) Beast Masters can trick beasts into joining them >=) for a limited time, though. Also, less EXP, so Beast Masters don't join forces with other people alot.

Rangers! Rangers are like Archers, except they can use guns too. lol. Almost every job can use Bows, but Rangers can use Weapon Skills with them. *they can also use weapon skills with Guns* Also they can use ALL bows and ALL Guns. So rangers are the long range job ^_^
