Format ripped from this guy here. (Thanks!)
Since I'm not actually in game, I'm doing a bit of research to try and figure out what I want to play. Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated. Since I'm signing up to be a mentee, if there are any Mentors that want to take me under their wing to coach me in the ways of the FF14 world through PMs or whatever, that'd be great. August 27 will be around soon enough.
--MMORPG background
Neverwinter - It opened a few months ago. It's decent, but underwhelming.
--RP experience
Seven-ish years playing Neverwinter Nights (not to be confused with the Neverwinter MMO that I mentioned above). I roleplayed dozens of characters on various persistent worlds, some characters lasted several years and others lasted several minutes.
--Character ideas/info
-Races:Â
--Lalafell: I really like the naming convention of the Lalafell race, but I'm not sure I want to run around as a Precious Moments doll.Â
--Elezen: The Elezen seem pretty interesting, but their naming is...eh.Â
--Miqo'te: Miqo'te seem good, but I think there are a lot of them.Â
--Roegadyn: Roegadyn are awesome, but I have this idea in my head about character physiology syncing up with the class, and I tend to stray away from the brute classes.
--Hyur: These guys seem to be your basic run-of-the-mill generics.
-Classes:
I can't decide how much research I want to do into this aspect. I really, really enjoy seeing things for the first time as I'm playing them. But if I were to research, I might get a clearer idea of what's right for me. My top choices at a glance:
--White Mage: I tend to play healers in most games (in all the older FF games, I try to make the White Mage the lead role).
--Dragoon: What can I say? They're a staple to the FF universe.
--Archer (Bard is the upgrade, right?): I like the tactical aspect of being a ranged fighter, choosing the best spot to attack from and so on.
--Black Mage: These guys are always fun to play.
--How did you learn about the coalition?
Google is my friend.
--What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy?
I'm a medium/heavy RPer. I lean toward medium, because I do enjoy party chatter so long as it's distinguishable from IC chat.
--Anything from real life you'€™re comfortable with sharing?
Nothing yet.
