Wanted to see what everyone's feelings were as far creating new character in ARR.
Seems like I'm always flip-flopping on what I am going to be.
I'm leaning towards creating an Elezen or Hyur bad ass female as either a Gladiator or Pugilist to start.
Male Lalafell... class/job: TBD
What about you guys?

I'm still torn between the Miqo'te and the Roegadyn. Maybe I'll make a Roegadyn as my main, and create a Miqo'te afterwards as my hide-away character.

Rogaedyns look really good in this game and Miqs always do, lol Male or female?.
What about class/job?

I'm going for Paladin or Monk, most likely.

[Aerin]

I'm keeping my main a hyur, but I may make a male miqo'te just to see what they're like.

Paladin all the way baby! Although I'll probably level Arcanist a bit like the majority of the other 1.0 players lol.

I know I'll be tempted to make a male Miqo'te as well. Maybe even female Rogaedyn since I think they'll be the rarest race/gender combo and they'll probably be like She-Hulk and be great for Melee. I just don't know if I'll like the look, lol.

Arcanist and eventually Summoner sounds very appealing also..

[Feadern]

For me most likely Highlander Hyur - Lancer/DRG

But! I am tempted towards a Lala Summoner

[spencerBAXLEY]

The only race I'm not really interested in is Elezen. I haven't really finalized what race I really want to be. I'm hoping that with a beta test I can iron out those details.

As far as class is concerned I'm definitely going CNJ/WHM first, then GLA/PLD or LNC/DRG. But honestly though, this is one of the first games where there's not really a class I'm not interested in. They all look like they'd be fun.

[Orophin]

I'm keeping my elf but I'm not sure what race I'll pick for my first alt. I'm leaning towards catboy or one of the new females I think. Paladin is pretty much my main job, but I expect to be leveling Arcanist and doing some fishing while leveling up my crafts.

I am worried about Elezen being too lanky but I went through the thread where members post screenshots of their character and I'm almost sold.
I always used Mithra in XI and definitely want to switch it up.

With you on that comment about Classes/Jobs... all look good. So glad Archer doesn't have to buy arrows like in XI.
That's another class I'm tempted to start with.

Wish there were more details on how Summoner will be played.
That will come with time I suppose.
I like that heavy armor look of Paladin... Female Highlander or Rogaedyn PLD.. hmm..

SE won't make all the character options available until late beta, but I plan on trying out many races and classes before phase 4. (SE hopes to allow all phase 4 / open beta / early access characters to continue into launch.)

If I had to decide right now, it would be female Highlander Hyur. Every one I've seen so far looks strong and wise. Maybe this new class appeals mostly to older-than-20s players, but there's a lot of us. Oh, as for class, probably arcanist, though I might want to complement whatever classes my PS3 buddies choose.

My v1 character main is a Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te mage, with a female Wildwood Elezen and a Sea Wolf Roegadyn as retainers.

Does their title Alter their appearance?

[Angelic_Pretty]

I wanted to be a male miqo'te for so long but now I'm really debating whether or not I'll roll lady Roegadyn! If they look good enough I think I may just end up playing one!

I wanted to be Lancer/Dragoon for a long time until I got burned out on LNC in Alpha. I may just try out ACN and Summoner but I got the feeling that SMN won't be as exciting right off the bat.

If they surprise us and release Musketeer I will definitely go for that

[Dulthis]

I'm still wondering what race I should go... Might give my gf the option to choose her female one and make the same race. Anyway I keep thinking about Miqo'te Male but I gotta see the animations first ^^

About the Job thats pretty hard I'm a "ALTholic" but in this game that's not the problem... Change weapon and puff ^^ (I love this system) I might try out the mage classes first ACN seems cool I really like the "pet" jobs so we'll see..

If they plan to release anykind of Samurai job, I'm sold ^^

Yes, it's their "tribe" or ethnic background. There are different skin tones and other features available. For example, Sea Wolf Roegadyn have blueish and greenish skin tones available. Hellsguard Roegadyn are more reddish.

My first crack at the game will probably open Beta anyway so I'm not too worried about a race/gender being unavailable.

I've only gotten to see the one screenshot of Highlander F. that Yoshi released (along with others) a couple weeks ago.
Agree with the 20+ player statement... I think most younger players (and some older) get caught up in trying to make their character too much like themselves.
As for us older players? We let our imagination run wild... kind of ironic, huh?

As i did in FFXI and FFXIV 1.0, i will be making a {cat}{women}

i am debating heavily between arcanist and BLM (thm into BLM)

I am really interested in the arcanist (into SMN) but i think 50% of the server will roll arcanist bc its the new thing on the block. we will see i guess :D

[VerseTottle]

i'm deleting my silly male Hyur and going back to my gut, my roots! blonde male tarutaru ^^

as for jobs I want to dedicate myself to the white magic arts for sure and maybe venture into the paladin.

been gaming awhile so i like taking jobs with more responsibility since i know the job will get done properly.

Exactly why I won't roll Arcanist but... we could both be wrong.

This was in 1.0 as an "NPC" job (along with Arcanist) I guess you can say, right?
I'm sure they have every intent to release Musketeer as a class ASAP but doubt it will make launch.

I haven't read up much on what a Musketeer is capable of... what job is it most like?
