So, what are our OOC reasons to pick the powers for out characters?
Uhm, well, for my Summoner, it's because I've always liked the summons of the Final Fantasy franchise. Having the power to summon forth a magical beast with great power to fight by your side... the concept just seems so awesome to me!
So imagine my disappointment when realizing all we got was those Egi forms! I understand the lore reasons for it, but I am still disappointed that all we got was small crystalline shapes rather than the ferocious beasts themselves, like we did in FFXI.
That said, I still enjoy the class. My first MMO was World of Warcraft and I immediately fell in love with the Warlock, and the Arcanist/Summoner is kinda FFXIV's equivelant to that. And I also like the idea of having someone tank the mobs for me while I am throwing hurt from a safe distance.
... Which I guess kinda conflicts with my alt's choice of class/job, which is the Ninja. I have just always had a fascination with ninjas and assassins, being able to hide in the shadows and attacking unseen, dual-wielding cool weapons and their acrobatic fighting style. So when the Rogue/Ninja became available, I wanted to give it a go, and I ended up really enjoying it.
