The next page in the system is choosing a Class, a class within FFXIV is a Disciple. There are currently four to c[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]hoose from; Disciple of War, Magic, the Land,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the Hand. While you can participate in aspects of more than one class, here you choose your starting class. I quite like the class system that Square Enix have set up,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it gives freedom to the player to participate in[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] whatever aspect of the game they wish to partake in and you can become as powerful within that class as you want to be, as long as you are willing to put in the work of course.

This sounds a bit basic right? I mean surely that can't be all that there isFinal Fantasy XIV power leveling to a class! Well fear not, each Disciple consists of an actual Class that is linked to it. As shown in the screenshot above, a Disciple of War can choose to become a Gladiator, or an Archer amongst many other things. Separating everyone into their own unique role.

A nice touch I quite liked was the ability to pick a Nameday and a Guardian. Moving on from class selection,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you will come to the Nameday & Guardian screen. Choose a month and day of the year for your Nameday, and a Guardian to go along with it. We are almost aFinalFantasy XIV accountt the end of character creation at this point.

To finish off the character creation process there are only two more steps,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], choose a name and starting location. Once you have done so you are transported into an intro cut scene and the game begins!

So as you can see Square Enix have indeed provided a simple yet comprehensive character creation experience for upcoming players. While the system may not have a million different scroll bars for you to tweak the bridge of your nose, and get that perfect complexion on theFFXIV power leveling colour wheel; they do provide you with plenty of options to create a relatively unique character. Making a comparison of the two is hard,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], once again I am already biased but I guess at the end of the day it comes down to what you prefer. Do you want to be offered enFFXIV accountdless tweaking capabilities such as Aion's character creation system? Or do you want to stick to the lore of the world the developers have created and be given preset options on how your character can look?

Both have their pros and cons,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but one in Final Fantasy.
