Oh dear
There went my free time.
Anyone else in this community playing Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn? I gotta say I recently obtained an account, and I've been having a blast. My favorite mechanic so far: once you reach level 10 in your first character class and complete a quest, you get to go around and unlock all the other basic classes. And by getting different classes to different levels, you can get even more classes. As in, if I level to 30 as an arcanist (think dots and debuffs) and level 15 as a conjurer (no idea), I can unlock White Mage. I know this isn't anything new for Final Fantasy (hello, 3, X2), but it feels really nice to see it.
I'm at level 14 as an arcanist, and I must say that from what I've seen, there's gender parity. Flip a coin as to weather the next strong character (not questgivers mind, those are still fairly male), but interesting repeating characters ... I've seen just as many females as males. And the females are usually the ones who go out and help you in the field. All the people I've had to rescue from danger so far are dudes, not damsels. :D
It might change as things go along, but for now... this is an mmo that makes my inner feminist happy.
