You create a character by selecting a race (There are five playable so far.) They are all diverse from the short Lalafell to the hulking Roegadyn. From there, you can customize the hair, face, height and other characteristics such as moustaches and markings. There’s enough choices to make each avatar distinct.
Afterward, you’ll face your most important choice. You have to be a disciple of one category — war (melee combat), magic (spell casters), land (I’m assuming farming) and hand (crafting) — and this impacts how you play the game. From there, you can get more specific. Disciples of War can have choose from classes such as gladiator, pugilist, archer and lancer. Disciples of Magic have fewer choices, deciding between thermaturgy and conjurer. As for the other disciplines, I didn’t explore them much, but I’ve been told that they’re geared toward crafting.
Once you pick the extranous details such as birthday and sign, you finally make the second-most important decision when it comes to exploring the land of Eorzea. You choose between starting cities such as Gridania and Ul’dah. This determines how your story begins.
At first, chose to play as Lalafell (see vertically challenged guy) named Thestache Fearit because of an exaggerated amount of facial hair. He was a pugilist, which seems to be the equivalent of a monk or martial artist. He started the adventure wandering forested land of Gridania.
Lalafell character is to walked through the woods when he sees an anomaly in the sky. It’s a black hole with swirling clouds and out of that comes a flying machine. Followed its trajectory and run into two strange characters named Yda, an elfish Elezen pugilist, and Papalymo, a Lalafell conjurer.
They actually arrived on that flying machine and you find them passed out on the ground. That’s when they’re attacked by wolves. This provides a perfect opportunity for combat with Yda and Papalymo as NPC back-ups.
Players can target foes, and by pressing the X key, they can lock on to it. That means they can circle around it, weave in and out attacking and try to move away. To deal damage, pressed the number keys to activate attacks. The number of Pugilists’ hand-to-hand combat moves are smaller compared to other classes but that’s balanced out by a large stamina bar, which is what limits players from spamming attacks consistently.
