I was an elvaan blk mage and I hated that I couldn't do the same damage as a hume. I love that job but was stuck being a white mage which I didn't like to much. I picked miq'ote because I liked the look and because I was afraid of the stats on the other races. I like that they didn't make that any differences in the races. I was in a party in FFXI and I was a dragoon and we had a taru tank who kept loosing hate I was tanking for half the time because she kept getting the mage killed it was an awful party and I know I'm not the best player in the world but when 3 players die 3 times in a row it was time for me to leave and I never leave a party because someone sucks. To be honest it was kinda funny every time she got hit she would fall over she couldn't take the damage.
