Hello fellow Eorzeans. I'd skip the long introductions about how I came from "that" MMO to this one. (Although I absolutely adore FF)

After trying this game for a day last December, I must say it WAS pretty confusing and the UI is pretty laggy so I concluded that it wasn't for me (Weak of me, I know.) but just last Saturday my cousin decided he also wanted to try the game and since I still had the initial free 30 days, I gave it another whirl.

I must say playing it with someone else and learning everything from scratch is better than learning it by myself. (We're currently in Besaid so if anyone wants to help us, we'd appreciate it). Anyway I've been playing for 4 days now and I must say I AM HOOKED with this game. Good thing I gave it another try. Just last night, I was able to reach level 30 from 25 by grinding the hell out of those Jellyfish near Camp Bloodshore (Playing a THM so I figured they're weak to lightning?) AND finally getting that Goobbue mount.

Anyway I just wanted to ask -- I've been playing with only 1 class so far and I know that we're not technically required to level anything else, however I want to be a decent end game player so I was wondering what class would be a good match for a THM main? Also what crafting / gathering classes should I go for? I'm planning to level all of the classes eventaully but seeing as I'm still new, it might not be a good idea --- or is it? Lastly, should I get my THM to 50 ASAP or should I focus on another class? I'm not "rushing through" the game (I read every story / quest log), it's just that years of playing Asian MMOs (I am Asian after all) have increased my tolerance for grindy-ish MMOs.

Thanks for any feedbacks, hope to see some of you in game. Cheers!
