&lt;div&gt;==Introduction==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quotation|The Determination of Being, Guillaurmand de Padellaint|[[File:Class_Command.png|baseline|right]] In general, there is a fourfold classification of adventurers based on the disciplinary paths to which they devote themselves. Battle classes are either a Disciple of War, masters of arms who live for the call of combat, or a Disciple of Magic, erudite researchers of all things esoteric. Non-combat classes can be either a Disciple of the Land, gatherers of material resources and students of the natural order, or a Disciple of the Hand, crafters who invest their creative ingenuity in synthesis and industry.&lt;br /&gt;
By making use of what is called the Armoury system, players may opt to specialize in one discipline, excelling in a single skill, or they may take a more general approach,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Every soul must needs have a code, a purpose, to guide them. Else chaos would consume us all.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{TOCRIGHT}}&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Classes&#039;&#039;&#039; embody the &#039;&#039;[[wikipedia:Character class|character classes]]&#039;&#039; from other MMOs, and are the signature of every character in the world of [[Final Fantasy XIV]]. They offer starting skills and can grow into [[job]]s, which further diversifies the player experience.&lt;br /&gt;
== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Final_Fantasy_XIV_classes.jpeg|Final Fantasy XIV classes.|thumb]] Eorzea is home to myriad disciplines, or &#039;&#039;&#039;classes&#039;&#039;&#039;, suitable to every adventuring style. Each class is capable of performing unique [[action]]s acquired through experience. Furthermore, achieving a certain level of mastery in a certain class will unlock its respective [[job]], which feature even greater specialization. Every class can grow into one job, except for [[arcanist]]s which can specialize into [[scholar]] or [[summoner]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To be better prepared to brave the wilds, all adventurers begin their journey as either a [[#Disciples of War|Disciple of War]] — a master of arms who lives for the call of battle — or a [[#Disciples of Magic|Disciple of Magic]] — an erudite researcher of all things esoteric.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Experienced adventurers can take up other martial classes to diversify their skills. If you seek more peaceful pursuits, you may consider becoming a [[#Disciples of the Land|Disciple of the Land]] — one who gathers and harvests Eorzea’s natural resources — or a [[#Disciples of the Hand|Disciple of the Hand]] — one who uses these resources to craft wares and turn a profit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Important: You can level &#039;&#039;&#039;all&#039;&#039;&#039; classes and jobs on one character.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Roles ==&lt;br /&gt;
Combat roles include all three facets that classes/jobs may perform.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tanking ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Tanker}} &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Tank|Tanks]]&#039;&#039;&#039; are specialized in enduring damage and generating [[enmity]] (aggro) so that enemies won&#039;t chase healers or DPS. They have self buffs to support in damage reduction and aggro generation. This role can be identified by the blue-colored class/job golden frame icon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Healing ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Healer}} &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Healer|Healers]]&#039;&#039;&#039; are specialized in healing your allies with heal-over-time spells, target spells, and area spells. They can also cleanse conditions from allies and cast restorative buffs on them. This role can be identified by the green-colored class/job golden frame icon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== DPS ===&lt;br /&gt;
DPS (Damage Dealers) include physical and magical damage. Both are aimed at dealing damage in a plethora of ways: precise single-target attacks, area bursts, damage-over-time, summon spells, magical area spells, etc. Some DPS jobs also have healing and tanking properties, but these are very occasional and are not the main focus on endgame content. This role can be identified by the red-colored class/job golden frame icon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DPS is divided into:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;{{Melee DPS|name=y}}&#039;&#039;&#039; &amp;amp;mdash; Classes/jobs that perform closed range attacks and abilities.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;{{Physical Ranged DPS|name=y}}&#039;&#039;&#039; &amp;amp;mdash; Classes/jobs that perform physical ranged attacks.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;{{Magic Ranged DPS|name=y}}&#039;&#039;&#039; &amp;amp;mdash; Classes/jobs that perform magical ranged attacks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Categories ==&lt;br /&gt;
Classes can be divided into two main categories, depending on gameplay: combat classes and crafting/gathering classes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Combat ===&lt;br /&gt;

==Introduction==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quotation|The Determination of Being, Guillaurmand de Padellaint|[[File:Class_Command.png|baseline|right]] In general, there is a fourfold classification of adventurers based on the disciplinary paths to which they devote themselves. Battle classes are either a Disciple of War, masters of arms who live for the call of combat, or a Disciple of Magic, erudite researchers of all things esoteric. Non-combat classes can be either a Disciple of the Land, gatherers of material resources and students of the natural order, or a Disciple of the Hand, crafters who invest their creative ingenuity in synthesis and industry.&lt;br /&gt;
By making use of what is called the Armoury system, players may opt to specialize in one discipline, excelling in a single skill, or they may take a more general approach,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Every soul must needs have a code, a purpose, to guide them. Else chaos would consume us all.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{TOCRIGHT}}&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Classes&#039;&#039;&#039; embody the &#039;&#039;[[wikipedia:Character class|character classes]]&#039;&#039; from other MMOs, and are the signature of every character in the world of [[Final Fantasy XIV]]. They offer starting skills and can grow into [[job]]s, which further diversifies the player experience.&lt;br /&gt;
== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Final_Fantasy_XIV_classes.jpeg|Final Fantasy XIV classes.|thumb]] Eorzea is home to myriad disciplines, or &#039;&#039;&#039;classes&#039;&#039;&#039;, suitable to every adventuring style. Each class is capable of performing unique [[action]]s acquired through experience. Furthermore, achieving a certain level of mastery in a certain class will unlock its respective [[job]], which feature even greater specialization. Every class can grow into one job, except for [[arcanist]]s which can specialize into [[scholar]] or [[summoner]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To be better prepared to brave the wilds, all adventurers begin their journey as either a [[#Disciples of War|Disciple of War]] — a master of arms who lives for the call of battle — or a [[#Disciples of Magic|Disciple of Magic]] — an erudite researcher of all things esoteric.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Experienced adventurers can take up other martial classes to diversify their skills. If you seek more peaceful pursuits, you may consider becoming a [[#Disciples of the Land|Disciple of the Land]] — one who gathers and harvests Eorzea’s natural resources — or a [[#Disciples of the Hand|Disciple of the Hand]] — one who uses these resources to craft wares and turn a profit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Important: You can level &#039;&#039;&#039;all&#039;&#039;&#039; classes and jobs on one character.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Roles ==&lt;br /&gt;
Combat roles include all three facets that classes/jobs may perform.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tanking ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Tanker}} &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Tank|Tanks]]&#039;&#039;&#039; are specialized in enduring damage and generating [[enmity]] (aggro) so that enemies won&#039;t chase healers or DPS. They have self buffs to support in damage reduction and aggro generation. This role can be identified by the blue-colored class/job golden frame icon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Healing ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Healer}} &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Healer|Healers]]&#039;&#039;&#039; are specialized in healing your allies with heal-over-time spells, target spells, and area spells. They can also cleanse conditions from allies and cast restorative buffs on them. This role can be identified by the green-colored class/job golden frame icon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== DPS ===&lt;br /&gt;
DPS (Damage Dealers) include physical and magical damage. Both are aimed at dealing damage in a plethora of ways: precise single-target attacks, area bursts, damage-over-time, summon spells, magical area spells, etc. Some DPS jobs also have healing and tanking properties, but these are very occasional and are not the main focus on endgame content. This role can be identified by the red-colored class/job golden frame icon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DPS is divided into:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;{{Melee DPS|name=y}}&#039;&#039;&#039; &amp;amp;mdash; Classes/jobs that perform closed range attacks and abilities.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;{{Physical Ranged DPS|name=y}}&#039;&#039;&#039; &amp;amp;mdash; Classes/jobs that perform physical ranged attacks.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;{{Magic Ranged DPS|name=y}}&#039;&#039;&#039; &amp;amp;mdash; Classes/jobs that perform magical ranged attacks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Categories ==&lt;br /&gt;
Classes can be divided into two main categories, depending on gameplay: combat classes and crafting/gathering classes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

In addition to your current target, you can also keep an eye on other enemies or allies by making them focus targets. This is a good way to keep track of one target&#039;s HP while dealing with another. A focus target can be designated by clicking on the target and selecting Focus Target from the submenu, or by pressing Shift+F. You can switch your main target to the focus target by clicking on the focus target bar or by pressing F10.&lt;br /&gt;

{{TOCRIGHT}}&lt;br /&gt;
==Basic Controls==&lt;br /&gt;
As you progress through the early stages of the game, tutorial screens known as [http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/win/howto/ active help windows] will provide a gradual introduction to the various controls. Please take a moment to look over these instructions as some changes have been made to the control scheme present in Version 1.0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the game&#039;s opening cutscene, players will be able to choose between mouse and keyboard controls and gamepad controls. Once a control scheme has been chosen, settings can be adjusted further in the Keybind and [http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/win/config/ Configuration] menus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Changing Control Settings===&lt;br /&gt;
o change your control settings, press the Esc key, or select System in the main menu, then access the Control Settings tab in the Character Configuration menu.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===About the Gamepad===&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to the gamepads listed below, all XInput compliant gamepads are compatible with the game. Furthermore, button allocations for all gamepad models can be adjusted. This can be performed when logging in for the first time, or from the Gamepad Settings tab of the System Configuration menu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gamepads recommended for FINAL FANTASY XIV can be found on the FINAL FANTASY XIV [http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/alliance/na/pe/ Partnership Website].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;* All gamepad models can be calibrated. This can be performed when logging in for the first time, or from the Gamepad Settings tab of the System Configuration menu.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

You can move your character using either a keyboard or mouse. When using a keyboard, press the WASD keys to move.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When using a mouse, press the left and right mouse buttons at the same time to move forward. To change direction while moving, keep both buttons pressed and drag the mouse left or right. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By clicking the mouse wheel, you can set your character to auto-run. Holding the right mouse button while dragging the mouse will change direction. Holding the left mouse button while dragging the mouse will move the camera.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To jump, press the spacebar on the keyboard. This can be used to leap over obstacles like small rocks or low fences. For details on other keys assigned to character movement, please refer to the Mouse Controls and Keyboard Controls sections.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Left Button: Only the camera view will rotate, and not your character.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Right Button: Your character faces the direction in which you rotate the camera.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;* The direction of camera rotation can be changed in the Character Configuration menu.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

==Introduction==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Servers]] or &#039;&#039;&#039;Worlds&#039;&#039;&#039; are individual instances of Final Fantasy XIV.  Multiple servers exist because the population of the game as a whole is too large to fit into a single server. Servers are located in 3 places int the world: [[#North American Servers|North America]], [[#European Servers|Europe]] and [[#Japanese Servers|Japan]]. Each region is further divided into Data centers. Each data center has multiple servers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are no regional limitations on servers. Anyone can create characters on any of the 3 regions. During [[Character Creation]], players can select the world server of their choice to begin the game on. An indicator by each world in the world list indicates population density, represented by chocobo icons, as low, average, or high.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To transfer a character from one server to another, player needs to use the [[World Transfer Service]] and pay a fee (real life money).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that Legacy servers are servers that existed before A Real Reborn (2.0). Each server has an ID number that is based on the approximate order in which the servers were activated. If multiple servers were activated at the same time, they are listed in alphabetical order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;**&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; Running at a resolution above 1920 x 1080/1920 x 1200 will result in negative framerate performance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Notes&lt;br /&gt;
* On systems with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M, GeForce GT 755M or GeForce GT 750M graphics chips, a display issue may have occurred when continuously changing the screen resolution settings, which was due to an issue with NVIDIA graphics drivers. This issue has been fixed in the newest NVIDIA graphics driver provided with Mac OS X 10.11.3 for systems with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M and GeForce GT 750M graphic chips. Please note that if you happen to encounter this issue, simply restart the game to resolve the problem.&lt;br /&gt;
* Specs are subject to change in the future.&lt;br /&gt;
* While we have confirmed operation of the game is possible on the MacBook Pro, due to extraordinary heat generated during gameplay, we have taken the precautionary measure of not adding the machine to the list of applicable models.&lt;br /&gt;

===Playing With Friends===&lt;br /&gt;
FINAL FANTASY XIV has been divided into several Worlds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Players can enjoy the same story and game content regardless of which World they choose to play on. However, it is not possible to play with players from different Worlds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To play together with friends, please make sure to create characters on the same World.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you&#039;ve selected a World for your character, you cannot freely change to another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Players on both the Windows and PlayStation® platforms share the same Worlds.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;* Please refer to the most recent [http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/patchnote_log/ patch notes] for up-to-date information.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Character Creation Walkthrough==&lt;br /&gt;
Final Fantasy XIV is just like any other MMO in existence, before you get started into the fantasy-filled world of an MMO, you’ve got to make yourself a character. Whether that character is the spitting image of your or they look as close to a humanoid-bird creature as you can get them, you’re going to need that character one way or the other. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To start things off, let’s go with the one thing that is essentially going to define your character: their class. There are a number of different classes from you to choose and depending on how you would like to play that character then there are a couple of different roles that coincide with each class, so keep that in mind when you’re finding a class for your brand new character.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These [[classes]] are as follows; along with their perspective role:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Marauder]] – Tank&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Gladiator]] – Tank&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Pugilist]] – Melee DPS (Physical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Lancer]] – Melee DPS (Physical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Archer]] – Ranged DPS (Physical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Rogue]] – Melee DPS (Physical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Conjurer]] – Healer&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Thaumaturge]] – Ranged DPS (Magical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Arcanist]] – Ranged DPS (Magical)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There’s a lot to choose from in terms of classes, but they’re all relatively simple to get the hang of once you make a start on them. Again, if you’re someone who’s ever played an MMORPG before then you know what to expect with each class and their role. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You’ve got the DPS who are designed to deal as much damage as possible; the healer who is expected to heal and keep people alive during the fight; then we’ve got the tank who is designed to take a real beating, sustain all the damage, and keep any enemies focused on them so the rest of the team can do their thing without any trouble getting in the way. Simple enough!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After you pick your class, you’re going to want to pick a [[race]] for that character and they are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Elezen]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Hyur]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Lalafell]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Miqo&#039;te]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Roegadyn]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Au Ra]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each race does have some very small passive differences to one another; such differences that can make a minor impact on your character towards the end of the game. Ultimately, though, what race you pick isn’t particularly important, so feel free to pick the race that you find most aesthetically pleasing – certainly when you realise that you’re going to be stuck with them for the remainder of your time inside the game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do be aware – depending on the class that you choose and not the race, that decides where your characters starting [[city]] is going to be. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Look below to see where you will spawn in the world, due to your chosen class:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Gridania]] – Archer, Conjurer, Lancer&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Limsa Lominsa]] – Marauder, Arcanist&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Ul&#039;dah]] – Gladiator, Pugilist, Thaumaturge&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alongside all of this, you can also choose from a fairly large variety of [[God]]’s that have some minor stat upgrades here and there, but we’ll get into more detail on that with a [[Deity|later article]], just so we can give it the detailed attention that I feel it deserves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That pretty much wraps up all of your major decisions when it comes to choosing how you want to create your character, with the exception of how you wish for them to look. Basically, let’s put it this way; if you can think about an inch of your character you want to edit then you probably can! Regardless of how you’d like to see your new character, there’s plenty to change in the form of hairstyles, eye colour, positioning of their nose; pretty much the works!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, feel free to delve into the character creator and enjoy just how deep and detailed it can be; providing you wish to spend so much time on perfecting your character. If you don’t really care, simply keep hitting random until you’re happy to some degree and make your start on the big-bad world of Final Fantasy XIV. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Character Creation Walkthrough==&lt;br /&gt;
Final Fantasy XIV is just like any other MMO in existence, before you get started into the fantasy-filled world of an MMO, you’ve got to make yourself a character. Whether that character is the spitting image of your or they look as close to a humanoid-bird creature as you can get them, you’re going to need that character one way or the other. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To start things off, let’s go with the one thing that is essentially going to define your character: their class. There are a number of different classes from you to choose and depending on how you would like to play that character then there are a couple of different roles that coincide with each class, so keep that in mind when you’re finding a class for your brand new character.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These [[classes]] are as follows; along with their perspective role:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Marauder]] – Tank&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Gladiator]] – Tank&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Pugilist]] – Melee DPS (Physical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Lancer]] – Melee DPS (Physical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Archer]] – Ranged DPS (Physical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Rogue]] – Melee DPS (Physical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Conjurer]] – Healer&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Thaumaturge]] – Ranged DPS (Magical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Arcanist]] – Ranged DPS (Magical)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There’s a lot to choose from in terms of classes, but they’re all relatively simple to get the hang of once you make a start on them. Again, if you’re someone who’s ever played an MMORPG before then you know what to expect with each class and their role. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You’ve got the DPS who are designed to deal as much damage as possible; the healer who is expected to heal and keep people alive during the fight; then we’ve got the tank who is designed to take a real beating, sustain all the damage, and keep any enemies focused on them so the rest of the team can do their thing without any trouble getting in the way. Simple enough!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After you pick your class, you’re going to want to pick a [[race]] for that character and they are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Elezen]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Hyur]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Lalafell]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Miqo&#039;te]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Roegadyn]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Au Ra]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each race does have some very small passive differences to one another; such differences that can make a minor impact on your character towards the end of the game. Ultimately, though, what race you pick isn’t particularly important, so feel free to pick the race that you find most aesthetically pleasing – certainly when you realise that you’re going to be stuck with them for the remainder of your time inside the game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do be aware – depending on the class that you choose and not the race, that decides where your characters starting [[city]] is going to be. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Look below to see where you will spawn in the world, due to your chosen class:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Gridania]] – Archer, Conjurer, Lancer&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Limsa Lominsa]] – Marauder, Arcanist&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Ul&#039;dah]] – Gladiator, Pugilist, Thaumaturge&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alongside all of this, you can also choose from a fairly large variety of [[God]]’s that have some minor stat upgrades here and there, but we’ll get into more detail on that with a [[Deity|later article]], just so we can give it the detailed attention that I feel it deserves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That pretty much wraps up all of your major decisions when it comes to choosing how you want to create your character, with the exception of how you wish for them to look. Basically, let’s put it this way; if you can think about an inch of your character you want to edit then you probably can! Regardless of how you’d like to see your new character, there’s plenty to change in the form of hairstyles, eye colour, positioning of their nose; pretty much the works!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, feel free to delve into the character creator and enjoy just how deep and detailed it can be; providing you wish to spend so much time on perfecting your character. If you don’t really care, simply keep hitting random until you’re happy to some degree and make your start on the big-bad world of Final Fantasy XIV. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
3. Toggle between standing and unique character poses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot; style= &amp;quot;text-align: left&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1. After logging into the game, press START.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &#039;&#039;* The title screen will change according to the entitlement status of your account.&#039;&#039; || [[file:logging in.png]]&lt;br /&gt;

Furthermore, a character&#039;s starting city will be determined by their starting class, as no starting city houses all class guilds. || [[file:character class.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 7. Select a World for your character.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;About Worlds&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;The World that your character will inhabit can be chosen during the character creation process. Worlds are divided into six different data centers based on the location of their servers. To ensure you encounter the fewest number of latency issues, it is recommended, but not required, that you select the group that is closer to where you will be playing. Legacy Worlds (servers existing since the original launch) are indicated in parenthesis.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Also, your character&#039;s World can be confirmed by referring to the Character Selection screen or the &amp;quot;Welcome to [World name]!&amp;quot; message that is displayed upon logging into the game.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;* When creating a character, only Worlds associated with your selected data center will be available. Please choose carefully when seeking to play together with friends.&#039;&#039; || [[file:character world.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Playing With Friends===&lt;br /&gt;
FINAL FANTASY XIV has been divided into several Worlds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Players can enjoy the same story and game content regardless of which World they choose to play on. However, it is not possible to play with players from different Worlds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To play together with friends, please make sure to create characters on the same World.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you&#039;ve selected a World for your character, you cannot freely change to another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Players on both the Windows and PlayStation® platforms share the same Worlds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[file:playing with friends.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;* Players on different Worlds may be matched together when using the duty finder.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Changing Worlds===&lt;br /&gt;
Players may use an optional World transfer service to change Worlds. Please note this transfer service will incur a fee.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To make use of the World transfer service, please proceed to the &#039;&#039;&#039;FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot; style= &amp;quot;text-align: left&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 8. Enter a forename and surname for your character, and click Confirm.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Forenames and surnames are restricted to 15 characters or less, with a combined limit of 20 characters.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &#039;&#039;* No two players on the same World may have the same forename and surname.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &#039;&#039;* * Players who cannot decide on a name may choose to have a name randomly generated based on their clan and gender. You are free to change the randomly generated name if you desire.&#039;&#039; || [[file:forename and surname.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 9. If you are satisfied with the character you have created, press OK to begin adventuring in the game. || [[file:character created.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Version 1.0 Character Transfers===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any pre-existing characters from Version 1.0 will be present on the character selection screen. The names of characters transferred from Version 1.0 will remain unchanged regardless of length.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Saving Character Appearance Data===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Players can save the appearance of their characters and reuse them when creating additional characters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;* Please refer to the most recent [http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/patchnote_log/ patch notes] for up-to-date information.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

==Character Creation Walkthrough==&lt;br /&gt;
Final Fantasy XIV is just like any other MMO in existence, before you get started into the fantasy-filled world of an MMO, you’ve got to make yourself a character. Whether that character is the spitting image of your or they look as close to a humanoid-bird creature as you can get them, you’re going to need that character one way or the other. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To start things off, let’s go with the one thing that is essentially going to define your character: their class. There are a number of different classes from you to choose and depending on how you would like to play that character then there are a couple of different roles that coincide with each class, so keep that in mind when you’re finding a class for your brand new character.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These [[classes]] are as follows; along with their perspective role:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Marauder]] – Tank&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Gladiator]] – Tank&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Pugilist]] – Melee DPS (Physical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Lancer]] – Melee DPS (Physical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Archer]] – Ranged DPS (Physical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Rogue]] – Melee DPS (Physical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Conjurer]] – Healer&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Thaumaturge]] – Ranged DPS (Magical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Arcanist]] – Ranged DPS (Magical)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There’s a lot to choose from in terms of classes, but they’re all relatively simple to get the hang of once you make a start on them. Again, if you’re someone who’s ever played an MMORPG before then you know what to expect with each class and their role. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You’ve got the DPS who are designed to deal as much damage as possible; the healer who is expected to heal and keep people alive during the fight; then we’ve got the tank who is designed to take a real beating, sustain all the damage, and keep any enemies focused on them so the rest of the team can do their thing without any trouble getting in the way. Simple enough!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After you pick your class, you’re going to want to pick a [[race]] for that character and they are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Elezen]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Hyur]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Lalafell]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Miqo&#039;te]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Roegadyn]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Au Ra]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each race does have some very small passive differences to one another; such differences that can make a minor impact on your character towards the end of the game. Ultimately, though, what race you pick isn’t particularly important, so feel free to pick the race that you find most aesthetically pleasing – certainly when you realise that you’re going to be stuck with them for the remainder of your time inside the game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do be aware – depending on the class that you choose and not the race, that decides where your characters starting [[city]] is going to be. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Look below to see where you will spawn in the world, due to your chosen class:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Gridania]] – Archer, Conjurer, Lancer&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Limsa Lominsa]] – Marauder, Arcanist&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Ul&#039;dah]] – Gladiator, Pugilist, Thaumaturge&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alongside all of this, you can also choose from a fairly large variety of [[God]]’s that have some minor stat upgrades here and there, but we’ll get into more detail on that with a [[Deity|later article]], just so we can give it the detailed attention that I feel it deserves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That pretty much wraps up all of your major decisions when it comes to choosing how you want to create your character, with the exception of how you wish for them to look. Basically, let’s put it this way; if you can think about an inch of your character you want to edit then you probably can! Regardless of how you’d like to see your new character, there’s plenty to change in the form of hairstyles, eye colour, positioning of their nose; pretty much the works!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, feel free to delve into the character creator and enjoy just how deep and detailed it can be; providing you wish to spend so much time on perfecting your character. If you don’t really care, simply keep hitting random until you’re happy to some degree and make your start on the big-bad world of Final Fantasy XIV. &lt;br /&gt;

===Playing With Friends===&lt;br /&gt;
FINAL FANTASY XIV has been divided into several Worlds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Players can enjoy the same story and game content regardless of which World they choose to play on. However, it is not possible to play with players from different Worlds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To play together with friends, please make sure to create characters on the same World.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you&#039;ve selected a World for your character, you cannot freely change to another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Players on both the Windows and PlayStation® platforms share the same Worlds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[file:playing with friends.png]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Changing Worlds===&lt;br /&gt;
Players may use an optional World transfer service to change Worlds. Please note this transfer service will incur a fee.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To make use of the World transfer service, please proceed to the &#039;&#039;&#039;FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Saving Character Appearance Data===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Players can save the appearance of their characters and reuse them when creating additional characters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;* Please refer to the most recent [http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/patchnote_log/ patch notes] for up-to-date information.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Character Creation Walkthrough==&lt;br /&gt;
Final Fantasy XIV is just like any other MMO in existence, before you get started into the fantasy-filled world of an MMO, you’ve got to make yourself a character. Whether that character is the spitting image of your or they look as close to a humanoid-bird creature as you can get them, you’re going to need that character one way or the other. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To start things off, let’s go with the one thing that is essentially going to define your character: their class. There are a number of different classes from you to choose and depending on how you would like to play that character then there are a couple of different roles that coincide with each class, so keep that in mind when you’re finding a class for your brand new character.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These [[classes]] are as follows; along with their perspective role:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Marauder]] – Tank&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Gladiator]] – Tank&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Pugilist]] – Melee DPS (Physical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Lancer]] – Melee DPS (Physical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Archer]] – Ranged DPS (Physical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Rogue]] – Melee DPS (Physical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Conjurer]] – Healer&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Thaumaturge]] – Ranged DPS (Magical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Arcanist]] – Ranged DPS (Magical)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There’s a lot to choose from in terms of classes, but they’re all relatively simple to get the hang of once you make a start on them. Again, if you’re someone who’s ever played an MMORPG before then you know what to expect with each class and their role. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You’ve got the DPS who are designed to deal as much damage as possible; the healer who is expected to heal and keep people alive during the fight; then we’ve got the tank who is designed to take a real beating, sustain all the damage, and keep any enemies focused on them so the rest of the team can do their thing without any trouble getting in the way. Simple enough!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After you pick your class, you’re going to want to pick a [[race]] for that character and they are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Elezen]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Hyur]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Lalafell]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Miqo&#039;te]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Roegadyn]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Au Ra]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each race does have some very small passive differences to one another; such differences that can make a minor impact on your character towards the end of the game. Ultimately, though, what race you pick isn’t particularly important, so feel free to pick the race that you find most aesthetically pleasing – certainly when you realise that you’re going to be stuck with them for the remainder of your time inside the game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do be aware – depending on the class that you choose and not the race, that decides where your characters starting [[city]] is going to be. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Look below to see where you will spawn in the world, due to your chosen class:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Gridania]] – Archer, Conjurer, Lancer&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Limsa Lominsa]] – Marauder, Arcanist&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Ul&#039;dah]] – Gladiator, Pugilist, Thaumaturge&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alongside all of this, you can also choose from a fairly large variety of [[God]]’s that have some minor stat upgrades here and there, but we’ll get into more detail on that with a [[Deity|later article]], just so we can give it the detailed attention that I feel it deserves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That pretty much wraps up all of your major decisions when it comes to choosing how you want to create your character, with the exception of how you wish for them to look. Basically, let’s put it this way; if you can think about an inch of your character you want to edit then you probably can! Regardless of how you’d like to see your new character, there’s plenty to change in the form of hairstyles, eye colour, positioning of their nose; pretty much the works!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, feel free to delve into the character creator and enjoy just how deep and detailed it can be; providing you wish to spend so much time on perfecting your character. If you don’t really care, simply keep hitting random until you’re happy to some degree and make your start on the big-bad world of Final Fantasy XIV. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
So, feel free to delve into the character creator and enjoy just how deep and detailed it can be; providing you wish to spend so much time on perfecting your character. If you don’t really care, simply keep hitting random until you’re happy to some degree and make your start on the big-bad world of Final Fantasy XIV. &lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Getting Started&#039;&#039;&#039;: [[Running the game|System requirements]] -&amp;gt; [[Servers]] -&amp;gt; [[Character creation]] -&amp;gt; [[Controls]] -&amp;gt; [[User interface]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Create Your Character==&lt;br /&gt;
This section will explain how to create your character.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Manipulating the Character Creation Screen===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Mouse and Keyboard&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Gamepad&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Moving the left or right analog stick will rotate the camera. You can also zoom in and out by holding down LB and moving the right analog stick up and down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Character Creation Screen Controls&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Change background image.&lt;br /&gt;

|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Toggle between standing and unique character poses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Return to the character selection screen. Current character progress will be lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot; style= &amp;quot;text-align: left&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 1. After logging into the game, press START.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &#039;&#039;* The title screen will change according to the entitlement status of your account.&#039;&#039; || [[file:logging in.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 2. Select New Character on the Character Selection screen. || [[file:select new character.png]]&lt;br /&gt;

| 6. Select your character&#039;s starting class and city-state.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;About Classes&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;In FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn, a character&#039;s class is determined by the weapon or tool they have equipped. Furthermore, a character&#039;s starting city will be determined by their starting class, as no starting city houses all class guilds. || [[file:character class.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 7. Select a World for your character.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;About Worlds&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;The World that your character will inhabit can be chosen during the character creation process. Worlds are divided into six different data centers based on the location of their servers. To ensure you encounter the fewest number of latency issues, it is recommended, but not required, that you select the group that is closer to where you will be playing. Legacy Worlds (servers existing since the original launch) are indicated in parenthesis.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Also, your character&#039;s World can be confirmed by referring to the Character Selection screen or the &amp;quot;Welcome to [World name]!&amp;quot; message that is displayed upon logging into the game.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;* When creating a character, only Worlds associated with your selected data center will be available. Please choose carefully when seeking to play together with friends.&#039;&#039; || [[file:character world.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Playing With Friends===&lt;br /&gt;
FINAL FANTASY XIV has been divided into several Worlds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Players can enjoy the same story and game content regardless of which World they choose to play on. However, it is not possible to play with players from different Worlds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To play together with friends, please make sure to create characters on the same World.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you&#039;ve selected a World for your character, you cannot freely change to another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Players on both the Windows and PlayStation® platforms share the same Worlds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[file:playing with friends.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;* Players on different Worlds may be matched together when using the duty finder.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Changing Worlds===&lt;br /&gt;
Players may use an optional World transfer service to change Worlds. Please note this transfer service will incur a fee.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To make use of the World transfer service, please proceed to the &#039;&#039;&#039;FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot; style= &amp;quot;text-align: left&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 8. Enter a forename and surname for your character, and click Confirm.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Forenames and surnames are restricted to 15 characters or less, with a combined limit of 20 characters.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &#039;&#039;* No two players on the same World may have the same forename and surname.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &#039;&#039;* * Players who cannot decide on a name may choose to have a name randomly generated based on their clan and gender. You are free to change the randomly generated name if you desire.&#039;&#039; || [[file:forename and surname.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 9. If you are satisfied with the character you have created, press OK to begin adventuring in the game. || [[file:character created.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Version 1.0 Character Transfers===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any pre-existing characters from Version 1.0 will be present on the character selection screen. The names of characters transferred from Version 1.0 will remain unchanged regardless of length.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Saving Character Appearance Data===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Players can save the appearance of their characters and reuse them when creating additional characters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;* Please refer to the most recent [http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/patchnote_log/ patch notes] for up-to-date information.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Character Creation Walkthrough==&lt;br /&gt;
Final Fantasy XIV is just like any other MMO in existence, before you get started into the fantasy-filled world of an MMO, you’ve got to make yourself a character. Whether that character is the spitting image of your or they look as close to a humanoid-bird creature as you can get them, you’re going to need that character one way or the other. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To start things off, let’s go with the one thing that is essentially going to define your character: their class. There are a number of different classes from you to choose and depending on how you would like to play that character then there are a couple of different roles that coincide with each class, so keep that in mind when you’re finding a class for your brand new character.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These [[classes]] are as follows; along with their perspective role:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Marauder]] – Tank&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Gladiator]] – Tank&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Pugilist]] – Melee DPS (Physical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Lancer]] – Melee DPS (Physical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Archer]] – Ranged DPS (Physical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Rogue]] – Melee DPS (Physical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Conjurer]] – Healer&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Thaumaturge]] – Ranged DPS (Magical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Arcanist]] – Ranged DPS (Magical)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There’s a lot to choose from in terms of classes, but they’re all relatively simple to get the hang of once you make a start on them. Again, if you’re someone who’s ever played an MMORPG before then you know what to expect with each class and their role. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You’ve got the DPS who are designed to deal as much damage as possible; the healer who is expected to heal and keep people alive during the fight; then we’ve got the tank who is designed to take a real beating, sustain all the damage, and keep any enemies focused on them so the rest of the team can do their thing without any trouble getting in the way. Simple enough!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After you pick your class, you’re going to want to pick a [[race]] for that character and they are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Elezen]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Hyur]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Lalafell]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Miqo&#039;te]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Roegadyn]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Au Ra]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each race does have some very small passive differences to one another; such differences that can make a minor impact on your character towards the end of the game. Ultimately, though, what race you pick isn’t particularly important, so feel free to pick the race that you find most aesthetically pleasing – certainly when you realise that you’re going to be stuck with them for the remainder of your time inside the game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do be aware – depending on the class that you choose and not the race, that decides where your characters starting [[city]] is going to be. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Look below to see where you will spawn in the world, due to your chosen class:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Gridania]] – Archer, Conjurer, Lancer&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Limsa Lominsa]] – Marauder, Arcanist&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Ul&#039;dah]] – Gladiator, Pugilist, Thaumaturge&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alongside all of this, you can also choose from a fairly large variety of [[God]]’s that have some minor stat upgrades here and there, but we’ll get into more detail on that with a [[Deity|later article]], just so we can give it the detailed attention that I feel it deserves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That pretty much wraps up all of your major decisions when it comes to choosing how you want to create your character, with the exception of how you wish for them to look. Basically, let’s put it this way; if you can think about an inch of your character you want to edit then you probably can! Regardless of how you’d like to see your new character, there’s plenty to change in the form of hairstyles, eye colour, positioning of their nose; pretty much the works!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, feel free to delve into the character creator and enjoy just how deep and detailed it can be; providing you wish to spend so much time on perfecting your character. If you don’t really care, simply keep hitting random until you’re happy to some degree and make your start on the big-bad world of Final Fantasy XIV. &lt;br /&gt;

Due to this, we recommend running the program on 10.11 (El Capitan).&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;**&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; Running at a resolution above 1920 x 1080/1920 x 1200 will result in negative framerate performance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Notes&lt;br /&gt;
* On systems with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M, GeForce GT 755M or GeForce GT 750M graphics chips, a display issue may have occurred when continuously changing the screen resolution settings, which was due to an issue with NVIDIA graphics drivers. This issue has been fixed in the newest NVIDIA graphics driver provided with Mac OS X 10.11.3 for systems with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M and GeForce GT 750M graphic chips. Please note that if you happen to encounter this issue, simply restart the game to resolve the problem.&lt;br /&gt;
* Specs are subject to change in the future.&lt;br /&gt;
* While we have confirmed operation of the game is possible on the MacBook Pro, due to extraordinary heat generated during gameplay, we have taken the precautionary measure of not adding the machine to the list of applicable models.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Character Creation Walkthrough==&lt;br /&gt;
Final Fantasy XIV is just like any other MMO in existence, before you get started into the fantasy-filled world of an MMO, you’ve got to make yourself a character. Whether that character is the spitting image of your or they look as close to a humanoid-bird creature as you can get them, you’re going to need that character one way or the other. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To start things off, let’s go with the one thing that is essentially going to define your character: their class. There are a number of different classes from you to choose and depending on how you would like to play that character then there are a couple of different roles that coincide with each class, so keep that in mind when you’re finding a class for your brand new character.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These [[classes]] are as follows; along with their perspective role:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Marauder]] – Tank&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Gladiator]] – Tank&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Pugilist]] – Melee DPS (Physical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Lancer]] – Melee DPS (Physical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Archer]] – Ranged DPS (Physical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Rogue]] – Melee DPS (Physical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Conjurer]] – Healer&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Thaumaturge]] – Ranged DPS (Magical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Arcanist]] – Ranged DPS (Magical)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There’s a lot to choose from in terms of classes, but they’re all relatively simple to get the hang of once you make a start on them. Again, if you’re someone who’s ever played an MMORPG before then you know what to expect with each class and their role. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You’ve got the DPS who are designed to deal as much damage as possible; the healer who is expected to heal and keep people alive during the fight; then we’ve got the tank who is designed to take a real beating, sustain all the damage, and keep any enemies focused on them so the rest of the team can do their thing without any trouble getting in the way. Simple enough!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After you pick your class, you’re going to want to pick a [[race]] for that character and they are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Elezen]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Hyur]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Lalafell]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Miqo&#039;te]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Roegadyn]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Au Ra]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each race does have some very small passive differences to one another; such differences that can make a minor impact on your character towards the end of the game. Ultimately, though, what race you pick isn’t particularly important, so feel free to pick the race that you find most aesthetically pleasing – certainly when you realise that you’re going to be stuck with them for the remainder of your time inside the game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do be aware – depending on the class that you choose and not the race, that decides where your characters starting [[city]] is going to be. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Look below to see where you will spawn in the world, due to your chosen class:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Gridania]] – Archer, Conjurer, Lancer&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Limsa Lominsa]] – Marauder, Arcanist&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Ul&#039;dah]] – Gladiator, Pugilist, Thaumaturge&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alongside all of this, you can also choose from a fairly large variety of [[God]]’s that have some minor stat upgrades here and there, but we’ll get into more detail on that with a [[Deity|later article]], just so we can give it the detailed attention that I feel it deserves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That pretty much wraps up all of your major decisions when it comes to choosing how you want to create your character, with the exception of how you wish for them to look. Basically, let’s put it this way; if you can think about an inch of your character you want to edit then you probably can! Regardless of how you’d like to see your new character, there’s plenty to change in the form of hairstyles, eye colour, positioning of their nose; pretty much the works!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, feel free to delve into the character creator and enjoy just how deep and detailed it can be; providing you wish to spend so much time on perfecting your character. If you don’t really care, simply keep hitting random until you’re happy to some degree and make your start on the big-bad world of Final Fantasy XIV. &lt;br /&gt;

*[[Conjurer]] – Healer&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Thaumaturge]] – Ranged DPS (Magical)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Arcanist]] – Ranged DPS (Magical)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There’s a lot to choose from in terms of classes, but they’re all relatively simple to get the hang of once you make a start on them. Again, if you’re someone who’s ever played an MMORPG before then you know what to expect with each class and their role. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You’ve got the DPS who are designed to deal as much damage as possible; the healer who is expected to heal and keep people alive during the fight; then we’ve got the tank who is designed to take a real beating, sustain all the damage, and keep any enemies focused on them so the rest of the team can do their thing without any trouble getting in the way. Simple enough!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After you pick your class, you’re going to want to pick a [[race]] for that character and they are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Elezen]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Hyur]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Lalafell]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Miqo&#039;te]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Roegadyn]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Au Ra]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each race does have some very small passive differences to one another; such differences that can make a minor impact on your character towards the end of the game. Ultimately, though, what race you pick isn’t particularly important, so feel free to pick the race that you find most aesthetically pleasing – certainly when you realise that you’re going to be stuck with them for the remainder of your time inside the game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do be aware – depending on the class that you choose and not the race, that decides where your characters starting [[city]] is going to be. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Look below to see where you will spawn in the world, due to your chosen class:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Gridania]] – Archer, Conjurer, Lancer&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Limsa Lominsa]] – Marauder, Arcanist&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Ul&#039;dah]] – Gladiator, Pugilist, Thaumaturge&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alongside all of this, you can also choose from a fairly large variety of [[God]]’s that have some minor stat upgrades here and there, but we’ll get into more detail on that with a [[Deity|later article]], just so we can give it the detailed attention that I feel it deserves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That pretty much wraps up all of your major decisions when it comes to choosing how you want to create your character, with the exception of how you wish for them to look. Basically, let’s put it this way; if you can think about an inch of your character you want to edit then you probably can! Regardless of how you’d like to see your new character, there’s plenty to change in the form of hairstyles, eye colour, positioning of their nose; pretty much the works!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, feel free to delve into the character creator and enjoy just how deep and detailed it can be; providing you wish to spend so much time on perfecting your character. If you don’t really care, simply keep hitting random until you’re happy to some degree and make your start on the big-bad world of Final Fantasy XIV. &lt;br /&gt;
