Recently while playing FFXI I decided to put away my axes and spear and spend some quality time as a spellcaster. To see how the other side lives. To give back some of the spell-hurling love to the community that has given me so much. Unfortunately, I did this right as the Playstation2 release hit the streets. Now I know how many of the japanese players must have felt when the north americans showed up last fall. Hint to all players with low-level jobs, new or otherwise: please don’t ever say that something is the case because your strategy guide or some website said so. Such resources are no substitue for experience. When I tell you a “bogy” is going to kick your sorry lvl16 butt, believe me. I’ve seen it happen more often than you might think.
