How to Choose a Class to Play in Final Fantasy XIV: ARR Guide at Mmogah

For many new players who play Final Fantasy XIV for the first time, it is difficult to choose a class to play. Now Mmogah makes a guide about how to choose a class.

Firstly the same as any other MMOs, classes in Final Fantasy XIV are currently split into 3 main types: Tank, Healer and DPS (Damage Per Second, simply as damage dealers). Each has their own distinctive and important role to play in party situation. You can chose what you like.

Then for most MMOs, they are sprawling affairs with a lot of different possibilities for how you develop your character. FFXIV is different from them, it is a little more flexible than others that you are not locked in the class you choose when you create your character. Once you reach Lv 10 that starting class, you’re then free to change to any of the others simply by swapping out the weapon you hold in your main hand. In this way, you can try out any of the classes the game has to offer before choosing which one you want to try and take to 50 first.

There are 10 classes in FFXIV: ARR 2.0: Warrior, Paladin, Monk, Ninja (Patch 2.4), Dragoon, Bard, White Mage, Black Mage, Summoner and Scholar. Players can unlock jobs by having one of the corresponding classes to level 30 and another class to level 15. But note that 3 new jobs in Heavensward: Dark Knight, Astrologian and Machinist, start from level 30 and do not require based classes.

Here is a form which shows primary class and secondary class of each class in Ver.2.0.

Including the 3 new classes in Heavensward, we can split all classes as following.

l  Tank: Warrior, Paladin, Dark Knight.

l  Healer: White Mage, Scholar, Astrologian.

l  DPS: Monk, Dragoon, Bard, Black Mage, Summoner, Ninja, Machinist.

All these classes are born in different main cities.

l  Gridania: Archer, Conjurer, Lancer.

l  Limsa Lominsa: Arcanist, Marauder, Rogue.

l  Ul’dah: Gladiator, Pugilist, Thaumaturge.

Of course, where the 3 new jobs in Heavensward are born is unknown now.
