Ah, so many answers, glad this is becoming a lively thread ! Eva: It's true that the basic classes and jobs can be restricting, but I think that what's most important is not to build a character solely around his or her profession. ^^ FreelanceWizard: True, although the fact that newspapers exist would hint that there is a sufficient audience that buys them, and thus more readers than one might think. Yes, the game gives a lot of room for invention in that respect. Also, great ideas you have, those are interesting professions. Sounsyy: Thanks a lot for the lore ! I hope that the game provides us with more information on Allagan architecture, the Crystal Tower is gorgeous. We'll also see more of Coerthas' with Heavensward. I hadn't though of cartographer, astrologist or sculptor for some reason, those are definitely good options. You mentioned Roddard Ironheart, but his grand children are also cartographer, you can find them in game. Nedrick Ironheart in Vesper Bay grants you access to a few dungeons and is the starting point of Relics and Millith Ironheart gives you the sightseeing log. Oscare: I hadn't thought of the tomestones, we really need more lore about the Allagan ! OttoVann: Good idea though I would rather simply roleplay it, I'm not very good with crafting classes. x) Aeylis: Thank you, I'll probably take you on that offer ! Jazz Egi: Ah, how interesting ! Totally support your character. Blue: Clockworking, yet another branch I hadn't thought of. And that's up to you to decide. And oh, excellent idea, I could definitely see that happening in Ul'dah, looking at the mentalities of the people. Salinas: Ah I see; chocobo raising would work too ! Dasair: Oh yes, that definitely seems like a more... doable profession than creative writing. He must have a lot of work to do. As I said, cartography sounds very promising ! It's already been exploited in game by a few npcs and as ffxiv leaves a lot of room for exploration, I could definitely see it happening.

Hello everyone, So I've been thinking of ideas for a new character and whilst FFXIV puts adventurers and scholars in the spotlight, what about the creative professions ? I'm thinking of a painter, a writer, a tattoo artist, an architect (definitely interested in that last one, I mean somebody must have designed The Goblet/Lavender Beds/Mist right ?). Also, do we have any lore on architecture ? With the diversity of the Eorzean culture as well as past civilizations like the Allagan Empire, I think that this aspect of the lore could definitely be explored. So, what do you guys think ?

Thanks, I'll make sure to send you guys a tell if i see you on Balmung. ^^ Ah, I'm in CET too actually. I don't play on a PC, though I played a little yesterday and there didn't seem to be any problem.

Hello everyone o/ So I was hoping to move my character (Scarlett Reed) from Odin to Balmung later in the day (I intend to wait for you North Americans to be asleep so that I can make my move 8D). Roleplaying is the sole reason why I wish to do so; I've hit level 50 some time ago, though some of the dungeons and raids are quite fun I've found the game a little dull ever since I finished the main quest: I often find myself having nothing to do as the queues take too long (I'm a DPS) and I am not into intensive crafting/gathering/grinding. My main concern would be latency problems as I am from Europe but apparently both EU and NA servers are hosted in Canada, so that shouldn't be too much of a problem. I have some experience in roleplaying, as well as in the game, but not both combined x) It's going to be a new experience for me, and as of yet I'm not sure which type of RP I'm looking for but hopefully as I start RPing I will get more confident and will find a linkshell or a FC to my liking. Have a nice day ^^ (or night, depends on your timezone)
