Wow... what great answers! Thank you very much Perrin_Aybarra and Kinseykinz for taking the time to answer my questions, it helped me a lot!

Also thank you for answering my Race question, it is nice to see that you did not make fun of it and it helped me feel better about choosing the Miqo'te. And no I am not the type to pretend to be a Female ingame while playing a Female character... I find that creepy. In some games people play a Female character and pretend to be a woman in real life to get free gear, lol. I was unsure how that is in FFXIV and if it was a common problem I might think twice about making a female character. And yes I doubt that I will be doing any type of role-playing, if I ever do decide to get into it I will make a Male character.

I am glad to hear about the ability to set your homepoint, I did not know that. I do plan to level both DOM classes since I figured they would both work together really well. And I will probably choose the class that makes cloth gear for the DOM.

Again thank you very much for taking the time in reading my questions and answering them, I really do appreciate it.
