but for ppl who played FFXI, how big is the different between the current FFXI and FFXIV ? (graphic is not into discussion, only game system, race and class)
FFXI to FFXIV, it's totally different. Yes, there's 3 starting cities, but the similarites end there. Before you had a job, and a sub-job. I loved that system, and hope they work towards it in ffxiv. You had white mage, which a conjuror is sort of like, but not. They had the white magic spells, such as cures, but also banish. They did not have the elemental spells, as they are dark magic. The black mage had black magic spells, elemental spells, enfeebling, and so on. A warrior could not simply borrow another job's abilities/spells without having that other job as the subjob, and then you were limited to half your level. So a 50 warrior with a 30 monk subjob would only have monk abilities up to 25. If the monk was below 25, they'd only have the abilities of what level they were.
