Best laid plans... (just a silly topic)Follow

Ok so a recent thread has gotten me thinking...

Are you playing what you thought you were going to be playing when you, bright eyed and brain full of deeds of Valour first purchased FFXI?

For example when I picked up FFXI I was determined I was going to be an Elvaan Dragoon. Then I made one of those goose necked freaks (I love you guys ^^)and decided I would be a Hume whm and named him Morty now Here I am over a year later and I am a Hume RDM/BLM, and a Galka DRK/WAR lol.


Best laid plans...

EDIT: Galak... lol

Yeah I saw and in case I hadn't said it on BizCom yet Grats man good job ^^

Well I thought the game had more roll playing elements. Everyone was so impersonal and joked to much. I love to joke around, but at times fart jokes just ...ugh...let it go?

Also I did a lot of research. I determined that I would start off as Monk and switch to beastmaster or ranger. I'm a outdoors nature guy, and both seemed to really cater to my interests.(Using animals to beat stuff up with HAHA). I played monk to about 21, when I decided to level rdm as a sub. I started leveling Red Mage ...and kinda took it to 54. So I never really got to sub anything. Red Mage was a job I completely overlooked.

Along with Thf, and Drk, I'm loving these jobs, and still love to put on monk gear.

But when i was finally able to become a beastmaster...it became quite clear that after 10 it wasnt the job for me. Neither was Ranger.

Currently the Taru is 67 WHM, 47 BLM, and 41 RNG.

I started loving the healing job, but anymore I just can't get into it anymore. I'll probably finish it out to 75, but I haven't LFG for months as a WHM.

BLM is fun, but my recent love is RNG. Sadly my NIN is sitting at 20 so my RNG is stuck at 41 until I get the sub leveled >.<

well when I started I was like the HUGEST fan of LOTR
and my favorite charector was, you guessed it, arwen!!!!!!1337
I wanted to make a charector that looked just like arwen and had the same job as arwen...
well when I made my elvaan, I looked at the hair types and there was like no long hair so I was like WTF1337BBQ!!!
SO I chose the longest hair there was, and then I didnt see the command that let you change hair color so I got stuck with white hair, so basically I looked nothing like Arwen at all, and the name arwen was already chosen so I had to pick Aerwen.. >.>
Anyway, at first I tried whm because that seemed closest to arwen's job, but I just hated whm
so then I switched to warrior, and then war/mnk, and finally sam
I guess I ditched the whole "arwen" Idea,
but I looked up what "aer" "wen" would be in elfish, and it means "sea lady" o.O
I guess that fits because samurais are like a pirate job.. and pirates sail in the sea..
well anyway yeah..
I guess my plans didnt turn out as expected

I came to the game wanting to be an Elvaan Dragoon... then I quit the game as a 65 Elvaan Dragoon in full purple sexiness armor, also had the full orange pumpkin armor for when I played Monk (level 60 when I quit). I also had the full set of Dark Knight armor before I even finish G1 lol, granted I only took DRK to 50... Other then that I did everything I wanted to do in game, though I do kind of regret quitting before I got DRG to 75. But alas, I deleted my character and said that I was never coming back... which still holds true today, even though I do lurk these boards out of boredom.
