Again, thank you all for being welcoming. I googled server populations and I think I am going to go with the invitation to Lamia, as it appears to be among the most populated, and I like to be in the action :)
In FFXI I enjoyed being a Tarutaru so I will likely be a Lalafel male. Do the same principles of tanking from XI apply to XIV in any way? For example, Tarus made for nice PLDs for their magic proficiency, high mp count, and could spam cures, essentially being a tiny hate machine. Is this still true for this game or did SE rewrite all the book on races and stats?
I would like PLD to be my main focus, with high end game gear and relics but I also enjoy playing buffer, healer, DD on the side. My schedule will allow me to be in game most every day, but my main gaming and adventuring must be around 8 pm on, when the kids are winding down, out of my hair lol. During their peak hours I might be off and on crafting and doing daily routine mmo-lite activities, personal character chores and making gil.
Also, if anyone on Lamia reading this would like to, I would like to begin a static after I get sorted out. I plan on main tanking. If there is someone wanting to progress quickly as a WHM and would like to team up, I am very reliable and learn quickly. I do lots of online research and like to play things smart. Or on the flip side, if there is someone who wishes to PL their own tank, I can be your devoted White Mage healer buddy ;)
I just got the PS4 in mail today, got it all set up. My son is playing the new Trials game right now. Next week, after I get some more money, I will order a 2 month card, the Realm Reborn, another controller (white) Diablo 3 Ulitmate Evil Edition, a year PS plus subscription, and a copy of Last of Us Remastered. So, I think I have my gaming covered for a bit, and Christmas is not far off lol.
Ok, so I made the mistake of ordering a regular logitech usb keyboard, thinking it would work on my PS3 and 4, Roku 3, Wii U and it works for none of them. Do I need a special "Gaming" keyboard for ps4? Any of you recommend for me a good PS4 compatible gaming mouse and keyboard? I might switch back and forth between mouse and key, controller, and a Vita when I am not on the large screen. Thanks for the tips in advance. Cheers!
