Inquiry About Combat

[Michou]

I see, thank you all for the helpful information so far, and I still welcome more input.

As for what role I take intrest in, I main as a Healer and being a White Mage is definately one of my goals. However, my main goal is to be a Summoner. I know it is odd to start as a Conjurer but it is the role I am most familiar with.

And as a small update with my combat impressions, I have just fought Ifrit and it was like a baptism by fire! My party died once but I was not upset. No, I felt very much alive! That was the combat I am looking for! Please say there will be more like that...

Honestly every primal battle in the story seems like a skill check.. so you'll see one when you hit the next two primals (especially the lvl 44 battle...people think they can rush it but not really...)

This is why I always recommend every new player to try the game at least up until the Ifrit fight. If you're not at least a little intrigued by that, then you won't like FFXIV's PvE.
