My second question, while not of the same topic, is the accepted age of characters. From doing the Conjurer story in closed beta, it seems some people can just be naturally good at healing. Back in WoW, it was generally frowned upon to be someone skilled in a chosen field if also a young (16-20) character. Does this translate into FF14, or would a 17 year old Miqo'te white mage (when I get there) make sense in this world? White Mages are different from Conjurers.  I recommend pursuing the White Mage storyline before settling on being a White Mage ICly.  I don't want to give away spoilers, but I'm going to put some behind some tags in case you want to know the details (so you can decide now). Show Content SpoilerDuring the White Mage questline, you discover that there simply aren't any White Mages who are not Padjal at the moment.  Padjal are odd - they're born to mortal parents, but appear to be effectively ageless and have horns.  They are born with the ability to commune with the Elementals and appear to serve as intermediaries between Gridania and the Elementals of the Shroud.  They are the only White Mages in existence, in lore, before you come along.  You're extremely special, in the storyline, because there hasn't been a non-Padjal White Mage in thousands of years - because they refuse to teach the magic to non-Padjal out of fear that those not so closely connected to the Elements will abuse its power. And some spoilers for the Conjurer questline: Show Content SpoilerHowever, as you discovered in the Beta, some people are just born with an innate ability at Conjury.  Those people are called Hearers, because it comes hand-in-hand with the ability to hear and interact with the Elementals.  Hearers are born, not trained (though they can get training to refine their talents), and they can be of any race.  All Padjal appear to be Hearers, but not every Hearer is Padjal.  All Hearers are Conjurers, but not every Conjurer is a Hearer.  So it's special, but not exclusive, if you follow.  Sylphie (I think that's how you spell her name) is a Hearer, and so was her mother - but her mother was never trained and it led to her death.  Conjurers draw from the pool of life energy around them, but must be trained to do so.  Sylphie's mother (and Sylphie herself) was never trained to do this, but her ability with Conjury allowed her to draw her OWN life force and use it to heal others (which ultimately led to her death, and almost killed Sylphie). I hope this helps!  There are a lot of options.    I also came from WoW, btw! Edited to Add: In terms age, I would recommend that you make your character at least an adult in real-world terms. i.e. at least 18. Some people are very leery of interacting with a character who is a minor, and you may have issues with that. { Wiki ~ Tumblr } Until I die I'll sing these songs On the shores of Babylon Still looking for a home In a world where I belong Where the weak are finally strong Where the righteous right the wrongs Still looking for a home In a world where I belong -- Switchfoot "Where I Belong"
