Lifestyles

The lifestyle of a character in Final Fantasy XIV revolves around his use of the Armoury System. Players equip different weapons to change classes. They go to battle as Disciples of War orDisciples of Magic. They harvest materials asDisciples of Land, and they crafts goods as Disciples of the Hand.

Square Enix envisions a play session that might start with a player quietly harvesting ore as a miner. When friends log on, that player might change into a pugilist to go enjoy some combat Guildleves. Once the party breaks up, the player might change into a blacksmith to repair his gear before logging out. In this way, the lifestyle of a player in FFXIV encompasses all the Disciplines.
