I’ve been playing Final Fantasy XI Online on my Playstation 2 since it came out for the PS2 in the U.S. last spring. I readily admit that I am an FFXI dilettante. I’m not a level grinder and don’t really like to play that way. My Elvaan monk Phareaude is rank 2 and almost at level 14. That’s not very powerful, but good enough to move with a lot of confidence, and I’ve enjoyed a number of special events and learned a lot about the game and the game world. It’s been a lot of fun!
The recent Christmas season event gave me the opportunity to visit several of the other nations for the first time. I enjoyed that so much that I began to think about creating another character to play in one of the other nations. So yesterday I created Laureta, a petite female Hume warrior living in Bastok. So yes, I’m yet another guy using a female avatar in the game world! The change of life has been fun so far. I really haven’t noticed anything different about playing as a girl, but Bastok isn’t as busy as San D’Oria so this may take some time. As for the rest, it’s just what I had hoped for, a new city, new job, new quests!
I haven’t given up on Phareaude, but I’m going to enjoy being Laureta for a while!
One reply on “Laureta: Change Of Life In Vanadiel”
I am at the moment reinstalling FFXI and updating. I play on PC though, but played since it came out in the U.S. I did decide to take a break from the game, and am now returning. It’s a great game!
