Well, This is a good idea. I like it alot. I also would like to add, Final Fantasy series has had this in the past; to most know as the "Beginner's House" or "Trainning Center".

Probably Rifts since it was only a WoW clone, so they didn't need any DEV to make it. lol

This is an amaziiiiing Idea! !

Thank you much ^^/

I love this idea. It would actually make skilling up enjoyable(I love skilling as it is but still an excellent idea.) Also having some PvP in there would be great. Sure we have ballista but you can't TRULY test your skill/gear if you can't do gearswaps without a penalty. I know myself as a paladin(Yes I'm a PLD and I DO shit in Abyssea so there! Of Course I have an LS of openminded people who recognize skill.) I would never want anything like WoW PvP(That game just needs to die! No offense!) I'd love to actually go head to head with some DD's on my PLD just to see how well they could do vs. me.(I've got a Taru BLM with Sick gear who always tries to nuke me dead on my PLD when I get charmed... He never can manage it it with 1 nuke. I told him the day he does enough damage to one shot me I'll give him a Mil Gil XD)
The illustrations are hilarious. I could only have dreams of drawing with that kind of skill. I can draw a blueprint no problem but never something as elaborate as those pictures.
/bow/salute/kneel kingfury That's some impressive work you've come up with. SE should hire you on to the Dev team :P

/kneel Lol I say play the job you love! I'm in the same boat with you when it comes to that itch to test out some PvP lol, the fun would just be overflowing lol. /joyoverload Thank you for the great support friend, and for the compliments /salute

I'm still working on the PvP details, but I had to laugh at this right fast lol Ask and you shall receive ^^ /
-Possible Taru Product of FFXI Gyms!!

I read through this thread really quickly... but the skill-up gym idea sounds really awesome! I understand where some people may say its easier to "just increase the skill ups" but I think it would be more fun and entertaining to do it this way.

On another note, I think it would be cool to also add a BCNM-Practice option. Like all of those BCNM/KSNM/ENM fights without having to use up all of those precious seals. This way you can run in, see what you are up against, and form your own strategy. I'm sure most people would just run to FFXIclopedia.com and look up the most commonly used strategy and run with that, but what if you could do things a different way more based on your own play style? A way you are comfortable with after having practiced the fight with friends.

Just an idea....
