Final Fantasy XI is an MMORPG created by Square Enix. It has been running since 2002 and is still in operation. The game has a unique character creation system where players can choose from various races, jobs, and appearances. This guide will help players understand the system better, so they can confidently create their characters.
Character Creation Process
In Final Fantasy XI character creation, you can customize many aspects of your character: gender, facial features, hair, body shape, and color. Character Creation can do this by editing the essential information and selecting desired parameters.
Basic Information
The primary information option is the most crucial part of character creation. You can edit your character's name, race, gender, country of origin, and blood type here.

19. Jobs
The job system in Final Fantasy XI is unique among MMORPGs. Players choose a job, not a character class. Instead, jobs are role-based and provide the player with specific abilities.
A player may change careers anytime by visiting a Guild Hall, paying a fee to become a member of the guild associated with the desired job, and talking to the Job Registrar. The price depends on which position the player is changing too and how many times they have changed jobs since their most recent promotion.
Players may have one primary and one sub job assigned to their character at any time. To equip a subjob's armor and use its weapon, the main job must be at level 30 or higher.
This allows players to play their main job at two or three levels below its typical level cap if they choose.
Five jobs are available to each race, except for the Galka and Mithra, who do not have access to the Paladin job. These jobs, along with the Dark Knight job that is unique to the hume race, are unlocked at specific level ranges. Quests must be completed to unlock each job.
Summoner at level 50
All jobs have a level cap of 50, and each requires a certain level range to unlock. The following table shows the level requirement for each job and the lowest level needed to use a job at its most potent.
20. Choosing a name and Server
Choosing a name for your character is easy. Simply click on "Character Name" and type in anything you want. Once you have decided on the title, you must choose a server. In FINAL FANTSAY XI, there are many servers, each with a different culture and personality. The most popular are: Bastok, Windurst, San d'Oria and Jeuno. Each server has its own unique culture and personality. It is recommended that you pick one that suits your interests.
21 Allegiance
The character's allegiance is the most important thing when creating a character in Final Fantasy XI. The alliegance you choose will determine what type of equipment and spells your character can use. Choosing a specific allegiance is more important than selecting a particular race because once you have chosen an alliegance, you are stuck with it. The allegiances are:
Your first character is not as vital as the alliegance you choose. You can always change your allegiance later when you have more experience with the game.
