Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

don't make me take away your party pants!

Are you threatening my right to party? Don't make me declare war on your ass.

Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

San d'Oria is the Kingdom of choice. All must bow down before its greatness.

I declare that when the time of game getting begins we will hold a grand vote!

Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

that means we will have peeps all across the spectrum... even if everybody is seperated it would be cool to all be on the same server.

As for my final decision regarding my race and job... Looks like I'm going to be a Warrior, then a White Mage, then a Paladin. I'm going to go ahead and make myself Hume.

As for Kingdom :)... well, whoever needs me to party up with them the most I will follow. I'm just a real defensive player. I would like to party with another white Mage... then completly offensive guys.

-EDIT-

We should decide how we want to mold the party completly... hopfully we can get every element at our desposal.

Re: Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

If we are all in seperate Kingdoms, you'll find it to be quite difficult for us to meet up soon. I know a person who has the PS2 beta and has been playing non stop since June, and hes only just left his kingdom. To further understand what I mean, check out the Vanadiel world map: http://www.shadow-dragons.com/vana'diel.htm

San d'Oria is furthest to the North, my kind of Kingdom. All you southern fools in Bastok and Windurst shall feel the wrath of the ancient San d'Orian black knights!

Re: Re: Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

your northern countries will feel my wrath as i slaughter your villiages
hahahahaha... i will be a god no matter how long it takes

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

any info on which kingdom is the most popular?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

well, its sorta depending on tastes. Windurst is the more organic, magical kingdom with lots of beautiful scenary and such, home to the Tarutaru and the Mirtha. Bastok is an industrial town, built on economic structure. its more of a dirty, mining town, which is home to the Humes and Galka. San d'Oria is the more sophisticated and prestigious town, with the honourable Elvaan.

Bastok and San d'Oria share the old continent of Quon, and Windurst is on the smaller, sort of forgotten continent. In the middle is the border town, the Grand Duchy of Jeuno.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

hmm, is the special ring you get for starting in the correct kingdom important? If so no way I'll start in Windurst

the ring isn't very good.

it's only okay.

you find better stuff easily.

Heh... Me and DarkMaster just had a discussion about the 3 places in FFXI. Windurst is like the "poor African country" of the World, Bastok is like the "America" of the world, while San'doria is the "Japan" of the world. Badically Windurst is just... uh.. I dont know how to explain it. But it's not really anything special. Bastok is supposed to be a nation of power. We (I say "we" because I have chosen Bastok) will rule the world with our technology and tons of cash because we are practically sitting on a gold mine. San'doria is supposed to be a place of intelligence, but hah! We'll see how smart they are when they're precious Kigndom is getting it's arse kicked!!! *evil laughter* They just think so are so good... The Republic Of Bastok, the foundation of power in FFXI will rule all!

Heh heh....

By the way, Rndm and I seem to be the only ones who are starting from Bastok.. anyone else is welcome to join us.

Well, I guess we're not all starting in the same kingdom. But with world passes, I'll make sure we're all on the same server.

Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

Well..I'm gonna be Hume......... and I'm gonna be a Paladin (Light version of what you are)........ maybe, just maybe. (if you are my only friend to start there you better help me with my level mr PC head-start man)

I like things about all countries though... I think Bastok is the all around best, but I think it will be over-populated, and it will have the most casual gamers. While I think windurst is the worst by far on paper I think that more serious gamers will come there, and it will be uner populated so every person there will be of some value especially outside races... I could see them coming together like one big gang before any other country.

San'doria... is... well, Middle of the road in some sense... because of thier lack of variety, I think there power will come in pure numbers.

Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

Well, you don't need to be from Bastok if you're going to be a Hume. But, Rndm isn't gettign FFXi until the ps2 version, so if you're getting the pc one you can join me early on (if you're going to be from Bastok). And you're right... Bastok probably will end up with the most people. But that is a good thing... and I'd like to be a rare "smart person" in Bastok, if you know what I mean, heh.

And, instead of having one coutnry has the "hq" for the Gt thing... we could be scattered around and have several divisions of our "clan", like Bastok Division, Windurst Division, and San'doria Division.

Re: Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

I'm getting the Ps2 one... what I was saying was you may be a high level before I even come... so I would want to tag along for some of yor missions to level up quickly. :p

Re: Re: Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

All those who oppose the mighty lands of San d'Oria shall receive nothing less than a most brutal death. You dare to strike us down, but you shall strike us no more, for let it be known, that the hand who tries to rid us of our greatness and honor shall be swiftly cut down.

We will plague the land of Vana Diel with the enrichment of our power, for we are wise beyond the likes of the feign devils to the south. The foolish, arrogant, greedy men of Bastok, who hunger for power, but shall attain nothing more than an embarassing defeat. And the lowly beings on the continent time forgot are no match for the likes of our great army, the Gustav Van Dier!

I shall smite thee, and all who oppose the mighty kingdom of San d'Oria, future rulers of Vana Diel!

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

BTW... the article at shadow-dragons.com says that the first 30 days are free, then a 12.95 USD fee will be charged per month (roughly $18.20 CAD).

Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

So says the ignorant fool!

No really, San d'Oria has a whole lot more going on for it than most people know, that's why it'll most likely have the least numbers. We also have the greatest army, while the people of Windurst hide behind their magic and the people of Bastok hide behind their rifles. For shame.

Re: Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

At least us Bastokans will be laughing when you run up to us with your pitchforks while we're mowing down your army with our guns! Hahah! Stupid cocky Sandorians.

.....

I say Bastok and Windurst ally against Sandoria, then Bastok will turn it's back and burn down Windurst's tree... then Bastok will win!

Haha.

Really though? Who really cares? Just pick your country and have fun.

Re: Re: Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

your foolish north will be slaughtered by hero2 and his army of the red penguins

Re: Re: Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

Oh, I'm sorry, but all I read was "blah blah blah, Bastok sucks"








=-D

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

:lol:



i'm positive i'm getting the game the day it comes out...im acuall going to go reserve it in bout a month...but i'm still not entirly sure where i want to start out or what i wanna be...i was thinking of either black mage or warrior to start off with and then once i reach lvl 30 turn into a dark or regualr paladin or ranger...anyone have an tips?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

one thing I dont see being answered at sites is. Is there a lot of human (not hume, user controlled :p) vs human battles?

If so, where can they do battle (any big restrictions)? Also, how exactly does taking over land work? SO much I need to know :(

""No really, San d'Oria has a whole lot more going on for it than most people know, that's why it'll most likely have the least numbers. We also have the greatest army, while the people of Windurst hide behind their magic and the people of Bastok hide behind their rifles. For shame."

LOL, and what do you guys hide behind? A tree with a bow and arrow? ;)

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

I'm plan to start off as a warrior, and then black mage, and then samurai, and then dragoon, and we'll see from there.

Thats probly because there is no user vs user battles. You cannot fight other players. The only thing you can do is get better reputation and conquest than them.

This is somewhat how it works. There is tons of unclaimed land all over the world. In order to claim that land, you must have high conquest points (or something like that). When you claim it, becomes the property of your kingdom. the kingdom with more land is more powerful, gets more stuff, etc. But even after you claim it, it can be taken over by another kingdom, which I'm too sure on how that works. My advice is read up on it at the official FF11 site, which you can find at square-enix-usa.com

We dont hide behind anything.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

Hmm...I wonder if they will hold tourneys with human vs human battles. I hope there are a lot of things out there that can cause intense battles.

I just thought it would be sort of a game of, well, kicking someone's ass to take thier land... You walk on it, if nobodys defending it, it's yours, if somebody is defending, fight for it ;)

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

I found some interesting stuff for you guys.



San d'Oria



Bastok



Windurst

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

The links keep showing up broken

Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

Too Kingdom-y... though I am considering going Elvaan, or whatever it'll be called. Humaa... err whatever... is going to be too balanced, methinks. But I haven't the slightest idea.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

Havent you read the FFXI history? We, Bastok, kicked San'doria's ass in that major battle. What makes you think the future will be so different? Join San'doria, I don't care, but be prepared to be humliated by the Republic of Bastok. Another thing... don't call them "kingdoms" because only San'doria is a Kingdom... Bastok is a Republic, and Windurst is a Federation, not a lousy Kingdom... =-D

Oh... what's that? San'doria sucked/sucks? That's what I thought. Face it, Bastok is the superior. We crushed the ELITE San'dorians. Hah, stupid San'dorians... think they are so good.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

like I said the south will rule the north and they have and will agian with the rise of Hero2 and his horde

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI

true story

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

I just found out this game can run on 56k... now I don't have to go the extra mile to get it...

But then again *looks at Halo*

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

I might be in your clan
but I will Have My own HORDE

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

YOU didnt kick anyone's ass, thats old history. This is present time, and Bastok has got nothing on San d'Oria.

And this is kind of pointless anyway, since we're all on the same side to begin with (read: world alliance). I chose San d'Oria because it is superior in my mind. Its different from the generic industrial land of Bastok and the organic land of Windurst.

For Rndm: the Elvaan aren't average, humes are. Elvaans specialize in tactical fighting, special skills, warrior and samurai abilities, etc.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: FInal Fantasy XI
 

Yep, and Humans specialize in... well, um, nothing ;)

So do Red Mages... They and do everything good, but nothing great.
