Population data from the Live Letter

[Mavlok]

What I'd love to see, is the split between people from EU and NA on EU/NA block. If it's 50-50, then maybe SE, you should give us our own datacenter. Ya know, like every single MMO out there does, and stop selling us your fake EU servers from Canada.

It's never 50-50. NA market is bigger, hence more US servers.

Representing Elezen here AND warrior, wth only 26% of the entire tank population?? Man, what is it with the Paladin, seriously? Yeah shiny white knight and all but Warrior is badass! I don't get why the difference is THAT big, that there's more PLD than WAR I assumed, but that there's so few WAR in comparison... I'm also puzzled by the almost non-existing Scholars... and I'm surprised that there are more male chars than female, my perception really is that there are loooooots of female characters.

Well it does not help the fact that paladins can tank better(thats another discussion) and remember paladin is based of cecil/final fantasy 1 knight.

I think it's more a fact of "like" or as you said that PLD is familiar and WAR isn't, then again in FF11 Ninja was quickly accepted and even favored; as for the better tank, I don't think that statement applies here because the statistic from the live letter was taken now, 1 month after release with the avg lvl stating ~15-19. I doubt there were tons of players rerolling WAR > PLD within this very first month after release, which you must be implying bc in order to "perceive" sth as better you'd first have to see it which would mean lots of ppl would have either thrown away their axe at/nearing 50 or would have checked out the forums/internet as to what's "better" before they even started. both these possibilities seem highly unlikely to me, so I think more people from the start choose gladiator...and naturally end up as plds. sad. huh, maybe bc Ul'dah seems to be so popular...

what??? , war have been a stable class in all the FF , hell even the protagonist in the videos is a warrior (started as archer in 1.0 but looks like he rerolled :P)

war arent as popular as paladin is because they are tanks

if War were DPS and used greatsword instead of great axe :P

and the LVL average is wrong ,takes into account lvl 1 classes (even DOH / DOL) ,and the lvl 15 classes that ppl used for job.

Well lets not forget the ff1 warrior he rer- I mean upgraded to knight/paladin. XD

I also expected dragoon to be the most popular dps class.

Cloud was a Mystic Knight, Squall was a soldier, Tidus was a warrior/time mage, Sephiroth was more of a samurai, Zidane was a thief.
