Final Fantasy XIBattlesFinal Fantasy XI has a very unique battle system which is similiar but also very different than the other FFs:Battles occur outside of the cities, and the further away you are from a city, the tougher the enemies will become. Players can earn experience points and skill points for weapons, magic spells, and defence during the battle. The weapon skills include fist (no weapon), dagger, single-handed sword, single-handed axe, and single-handed club; the defence skills include evade, shield, and parry; and the magic spell skills include heal, light, dark, strength, weaken, and elemental. The more players use certain weapons or magic spells, the more likely they are to earn skill points for them. Using different combinations through every battle will increase your chances on getting higher skill points. The defence skills are different in that points are earned for them randomly during battle. After BattleAfter battles, you and your party may be rewarded with money, weapons, and items. There are two ways you can divide your wealth among party members. One is to let the party leader spread the take among the rest of the party, while the other involves an element of chance. Everyone who is interested in a particular item will be assigned a randomly generated number (from 001-999), and the one with the highest 'roll' wins the item.DeathWhen players die, they are transported back to their 'home points,' which are usually located in each faction's capitals. There are also home points in unpopulated parts of Vana'diel, though they may prove to be more dangerous since enemies could be lurking nearby. At any rate, the home points will most likely become major gathering places where players seek party members or sell weapons and items. |
