"A Guide to FFXI That Even A Monkey Could Understand" Part 1 - Getting Started

It should be a well-known fact that I have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of FFXI for well over a year now. The game, which has been available in Japan for almost 2 years, was released stateside for the PC about 5 months ago. Since that time, I have been spending an unhealthy amount of time researching the game via FAQs, the official website ( Read more... )

Keith, it WAS so simple that I, a monkey, understood it. :D

"Finally, you get to choose if your character is "small", "medium", or "large", so basically, if you can order a drink at McDonald's, you can make a FFXI character."

Heh, heh. I actually stole that title from the back of the first SD Lodoss War book, where they had "A Guide to Lodoss That Even A Monkey Could Understand." Also, it's the year of the monkey! I don't actually mean to imply that any of my friends are as smart as a monkey... At least none of you look like monkeys, a problem that I must deal with on a daily basis. ^_~ (It helps when I want to cosplay Lupin III though.)

I lied, by the way. You actually do select a job during character creation - this determines what weapons and/or spells you get as starting equipment. Other than that, what you select has no permanent effects on your character.

Ok, I'm appeased for now. You'll need to come up with more stuff soon to keep me happy though.

The plan is one chapter a day for 10 days. Will that appease you, m'lord? ;P
Try not to go postal on me if another chapter is late due to LJ eating it or something.
