Which of the three cities to start in...
-
Some people may not agree with this, but it's true. Start in your home city. Plain and simple. Each race was designated to a specific city for a reason. Whether it be for storyline, missions/quests made easier on that race, or to get the stat+ ring.

Windurst - Mithra & Tarutaru

Dude ur a guide reader......thats all from FFXi guide....its way outdated, and some of its even wrong, and race only matters with the extreams HP/MP. the stats may be fixed easily with items....that guide is way outdated its fall version....in other words crap.

EDIT: Also, that is Plagiarism. You have not givin the guide credit anywhere on your post, therefore taking the credit. Are you trying to get to be well known by the administrators for doing this? if so i declare you the most ultimate newbie of all. Your little teenage brain cannot compensate that you are typing crap. Yes, i said it. That guide is crap, all of it. It is outdated, overrating, untruthfull crap. So i sugguest to anyone not to follow these race choices, be what you want, you join the game for fun, if you find fun in choosing a race that is a little better in the job fine, but then i see at as not much of a challenge. I dont know if yall like it easy, but i like a challenge now and again, otherwise it takes the fun outa it.

Hmph, still no reply eh? figures....

LOL... I read this and was like... "I've seen this before somewhere...."
