HOKAY *Cracks knuckles* First off, Hi. Second off, Nice Avatar, Frost is a babe- There I said it.
A: For classes you can be literally anything, as with FFXIV you can have 1 character level every single class. As to which one would suit -you-, well you can try them all out first. But as you prefer melee it seems, I'd suggest a Lancer, due to it's speed and damage. It's the fast melee class, other than Pugilist. Which you can take the job later for, and become a Dragoon!
2: Gilgamesh is a fresh unofficial RP server, so it will have a clean slated community, but that also means that server has to build up it's own community (Which is already pretty awesome just from forum work!)Â
Balmung is Legacy, which means that people from the first game or as it's called 1.0, can bring over their past characters. However, it is in NO way exclusive to them. I've never touched or even seen 1.0 and I'll be rolling on Balmung. It's a more fleshed out community, having more linkshells and such off the bat, but it's in NO way hindering to new players (As I've found!)
So, the choice is yours! Most people are going on both!
D: Guilds in this game are interesting. Link shells aren't really 'guilds' they're more like the custom chat channels in WoW, you know how you could make your own 'general chat' and invite your friends? But no one ever did that anyways? Yeah it's like those.
The actual GUILDS however are called Free Companies, which work similar to WoW"s guilds in the sense you get benefits for being with them, and helping them and stuff. And there is an OOC linkshell I do believe, but you can check them all out by pressing the "Linkshell" button on the hotbar up at the top of the website.
4: To my knowledge, there are no racials or passives or anything of the sort to do with race choice. However, your 'god choice' seems to alter your stats slightly (Doesn't really matter, it affects elemental stuff)
18: It's more just Tank, Dps, and Heal now. As they've made some changes to Bard and it's now primarily a ranged DPS. It still has supporting potential, but it has a lot more damage than it previously did.
Q: Yes, I believe they are mandatory. You have to make a first, and surname at the end of character creation.
I hope these suffice, and are accurate! Hope to see you in gaaame~
