Welcome one and all to the starters guide, this is a guide for anyone who has no knowledge of FFXI (Final Fantasy XI) and as such attempts to be as thorough as possible in all instances where information is given.

Welcome to FFXI
Final Fantasy XI(11) is an MMORPG, thats, Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. First released on the PS2 in may 2002 in Japan, then the PC version was released in november 2002 in Japan, then a year later in october 2003 for North America (with the PS2 version releasing of march earlier that year) and a year later still in september 2004 for Europe (there has been no EU PS2 verion released,) and the game saw a release on the Xbox 360 in april 2006 for all regions.
If you would like more information on some of the games statistics and a general passive over-view, read the wikipedia article. What you have is a game taking place over the expansive 3D game-world of Vana'diel, with its own economy, culture, weather system, conflict, history and future!emerse yourself as an 'adventurer' and explore this world on your own or get together and make new friends with people who are sharing your experiences! |
The Basics
Welcome to the world of Vana'Diel! |
Race
One of the first questions a new player will be prompted involves the race a player has to choose from. There are eight options available: male and female Hume, male and female Elvaan, male and female Tarutaru, Galka and Mithra. There are no gender options for Galka or Mithra, as Galka are primarily perceived as an all male race, and Mithra as all female.
Below are basic descriptions of the gameplay stats each race possesses. All other features, such as face, hair and size are strictly cosmetic.

Job
(As a quick note, you don't need to go into great detail about the pros and cons of a job, I mean we are talking to a person who at this point wouldn't even know what a party is, so use a simplistic description, along with what role they play, and please be objective.)
