Tell us how you play! One character for everything or alts?

[Pseudopsia]

I do everything on one character.

My paladin is opposite extreme as yours.

Mini Tank:

[YunieAura]

Lalafel for my caster classes. Miqote lady for my physical.
That, and I didn't want to grind Fates on Miqote. Started out a different city and not rushing to 50, haha. ^^
Like OP, I didn't see my Lalafel as the physical type.
I guess Miqote is also more for my RP stuff as well.

1 for all since it's cheaper money wise and if I want a new character for looks or starting story I'll just make one on a new server.

I am and always will be an altaholic. I have 2 characters, one is my disciple of war with Bard only atm, and the other is my Disciple of Magic where she is a WHM/BHM and now working on Scholar/Summoner.

Really? that's a nice opinion but it's my hobby to lvl up alts I enjoy it a lot more then (current) end game atm. leveling up a new character with a different race/job/name/personality feels more fun to me it's like playing as a different person which is why I play mmos.

The problem with this in FFXIV is that you're essentially gimping each character. Jobs use different abilities from other jobs and not having those is a huge deal. Also, having crafts leveled on the same character means cheaper repairs and less hassle to have things made. Making alts is fine, but if you're using a new character for each class/job, you're fundamentally playing this MMO wrong.

Um, one character. I really can't foresee myself grinding another - that's just too much time and gets boring.

[KonaZumi]

I have my main, and maybe an alt Roleplay character later on (if I can decide on a good RP server/group).

Edit- I also have an alt on the JP servers- for when the NA EU servers went down...Tho, I dont use it often.

There is no right or wrong way to play that game... It's not because the game is giving you the option to roll everything on a single charatcer that you HAVE to do it... There is no such thing as ''gimping'' your character(s) by doing that.

It only comes down to how we each feel like playing it and nothing else.

[Diavolo]

I'm using my character for everything that I want to do. I certainly don't want to do every job, but the ones that interest me thus far (just bard and black mage) are doable..albeit, not as easy to level up due to the lack of quests.

[SabbaNoergi]

I'm settled in with one character at the moment. I am planning of having a crafting alt, and if there happens to be an official RP server I wouldn't mind trying it out. I've never RPed but I would be lying if I said I wasn't curious.
