Character Creator - Choosing a Race
There are so many! Which should I choose?!
For Final Fantasy fans who missed out on XI this will come as a bit of a gear change. Yes, in A Realm Reborn you can choose how or what you the hero will look like. Want to look like the guy from the trailer? No problem. Tired of the lack of facial hair in Japanese games? No problem. Love cats too much? Again no problem ... *ahem*
What Races are there?
As of launch there are 5 playable races currently in A Realm Reborn with each race coming with two sub-races.
Confused about sub-races? Not to worry ... let's see ... an example would be good right about now ...
Aha! Take the much popular Miqo'te for example. You've clicked on him ... good. Now you will see two options:
- Seeker of the Sun.
- Keeper of the Moon.
Wait ... stats?! Do I have to choose a certain race if I want to be a certain class?
The simple answer (unless you're a super hardcore min-maxer) is no. Unless you're running around fighting monsters naked then there is minimal difference in your effectiveness with any class no matter what your race is. So in short just choose the race that tickles your fancy no matter what class you want to choose.
In conclusion ...
Before we say our goodbyes let us briefly go over the basics of choosing a race.
- There are five races to choose from. Each race is split into two unique sub-races.
- What class you want to be does not depend on your race.
- Choose whatever you think looks best and run with it!
And .... that's it for now folks. Hope you found this somewhat informative. Feel free to provide any feedback. I read it all!
Till next time!
