Class you started with vs. your job now.

[xXRaineXx]

Started as MNK, then went through the nightmare of the evil witch called 'lag' and it's minions 'latency'. They proved to be too stronk when they buffed Titan EX, who bitch-slapped me silly.

Everything was out of the question.

So I switched to Bard and never looked back. Being able to freely move around preemptively made it easier to fight lag and latency.

Thooooooooooooghhhh.......... with the whole cast time thing with Bards... it sorta took me a step backwards again.... TT

1.0 - For versatility I played Drg, Mnk, and Blm, though during original 1.0 when cross class skills could be used on any class, I mained Thm because of my love for Blm that I acquired from 3 and a half years of FFXI (where I mained Blm and Sam), as well as because I absolutely loved enfeebling mobs.

2.0 - I started out as Acn, then chose Smn main because I wanted to play completely different jobs than what I previously played during 1.0, or FFXI. I eventually decided I wanted to switch things up a bit and played around with Brd as a secondary main (never played Rng during my time in Vana'diel and only leveled Arc to 50 during 1.0 because of lack of content and it was uber easy to level to 50), and then Blm because I've always loved Blm. I also decided to try out tanking (never tanked previously as I felt it just wasn't for me) and I found War to be very enjoyable, and I found Pld fun as well. Though, of the two, I prefer War. A large part of my motivation to play tank classes was that I always thought that tank gear looked bad ass.

3.0 - Drk. Drk looked very interesting to me, and I never played Drk during my time with FFXI. Also, this was to continue the trend of playing jobs that I never really played previously and focusing on different aspects of gameplay that I had never really focused on. I was so interested in Drk that when I got to Ishgard I completely ignored the MSQ and the first thing I did was unlock Drk and started leveling it. Didn't get back to working on MSQ until I had Drk at 50, and I've had a blast with it. Can't wait to hit 60. Just 1 level to go! (My play time is limited, thus the reason why I've yet to hit 60 even though I've been playing since EA) After I get Drk to 60, when I'm not working on gearing Drk, my plan is to take Brd to 60, and after Brd, Smn. However, after hearing so many good things about Mch, I may toy around with Mch to see if it's for me, and, if I find it to be a lot of fun, my plans may change.

1.0 - I played around with the thought of creating a Dark Knight, utilizing Gld, Mrd, and Thm. Needless to say I saw this not working well and eventually quit because the game was very unstable, buggy and laggy on the serverside. Was very disappointed with the game that first week.

2.0 - Arcanist > Summoner. Ended up leveling all the other jobs to 50 as well but Summoner was still my main.

3.0 Summoner is still my main and I love it. Dark Knight is my new go-to tanking job and I will eventually level up White Mage to 60 as my go-to healer. Then.. maybe Dragoon for funsies.

[Thunda_Cat_SMASH]

Started out as a bard, but I got really bored of the play style pretty quick. I bounced around like 3 different jobs for a bit. Currently, I'm torn between maining a warrior, machinist or ninja.

[Mikedizzy]

BARD....
and.....BARD....
Play all jobs though. Bard is by far my favorite followed by SCHOLAR and WARRIOR.

[Terrini]

Conjurer - White Mage, I knew what I wanted and still loving it.

This is an alt account since mine got permabanned.

I joined the exodus for the 3.0. My main was PLD, then switched to WAR for obvious reasons.

[HalfLegend]

I always play jobs based on how I feel in the MS.

When I started to play FF14, it was in the beggining of ARR. I think it was around 2.1 or 2.2. My first class was lancer to eventually become the mighty dragoon. Long have I been a fan of this jobs since I played my first FF game which was FF Tactics. I mained this class until the end while slowly leveling all the others class when I felt like it with monk been my second favorite.

After the final events that occured at the very end of the MS of ARR, my character was so confused. Then, while slowly walking to Isghard for refuge, I took the mantle of the dark knight to exerce my vengence on all the corrupted city that is Ul Dah. I needed to be a dark knight to act with justice where all those wouldn't.

I still plan to get dragoon back as a main someday but for now, the cloak of darkness and abyss suit me quite well...

Oh and monk is my second jobs for when I need to strike true and strong :3

A long time ago there was a little Miqo'te Conjurer by the name of Ceci Riocha. She wanted to be a White Mage when she grew up! Along the way she got to experience the joy of playing Arcanist, and decided she wanted to be a Scholar instead. Then she realized that Scholar to micro-manage a fairy and decided to be a White Mage again. She stayed a White Mage for a little while until she tried Marauder and then fell in love with the axe. She was then a Warrior until her allies needed her to pick up her tome again and be a Summoner. She stayed as a Summoner until the Dreadwyrm came, when she became a Ninja. She then spent her time bouncing between Ninja, Warrior, and Scholar until she finally settled down as a Dark Knight after the elves let her into their city. Along the way however she drank a strange potion that made her turn into this weird scaled creature and forget who she was, instead taking on a new name and history.

TL;DR: Conjurer -> Dark Knight, it's been a strange ride.

[Dragoon130]

Started Dragoon and switched to Paladin. Always intended to main Paladin but since my favorite Final Fantasy classes are Red Mage, Dragoon, and Blue Mage I decided to level it first.
