Theif, assassin, or Dark elf.

I prefer speed over strength and dark elves are just cool.

If I had to choose an actual character..I'd be Tifa(advent children version) she looks cooler there… >_>

I like the Hero class from Dragon Quest. You get a little bit of everything: Swordfighting, black magic, and white magic. Granted, you're not especially skilled at any of them, but I like swiss-army knife characters.

Other than that, I prefer speed over armor, because why worry about how much damage you can prevent when you aren't being hit?

Sounds like the Red Mage from the FF series. :)

AD+D: Hivemaster (kit). I have a thing for bugs and arachnids.

D+D 3.5: Druid or Barbarian. Just feels right.

FF Tactics: Geomancer or Dancer. Dressing up like an insane primitive with total terrain control or using my naturally disconcerting dance skills? Ah, choices.

Final Fantasy (non classed): That weird obscure character you don't need to pass the game, doesn't have a well explained background, and may or may not be useful. (Ala, Gogo, Umaro, or Mog)

WoW: Warlock or Hunter. I like having a loyal companion working in concert with me.

I prefer the Warrior Priest class. Able to hold his own while healing his comrades in combat. :)

White Mage because if I try really, REALLY hard I shall because a Devout and they are really cute with their kitty ears <3

me two. we can train together! <3

Not too up on D&D character classes, so….

I'd totally be a Black Belt from FFV. The double-hit thing is really awesome, as is the Target:All sweep, and once you gain Chakra, keeping yourself alive is pretty damned easy. So yeah - Black Belt all the way.

The Monk from FFI (It might only be in the GBA remake, I've never played the original) kicks that guy's ass. Those fuckers hit for 50000 every attack once you get their level maxed out. They make pretty much everything but White Mage worthless in comparison.

Late return to the thread but - I'm playing the FF: Origins (Playstation) version of FFI, and man, do I ever love the monk. My Warrior double hits, but my Monk does quadruple hits on each turn. :) The only thing I miss in comparison to FFV's Black Belt is the Target: All sweep, really.

Chicks dig swords. Especially if you have 2 (or more) of them.

Double the pleasure…

The characters I always liked best were the centaur “Paladins” in the Shining Force games. Especially the winged ones.

I'd be the typical pervert guy with the huge sword. ( Like Zelos Wilder from Tales of Symphonia)

A lizardmen necromancer! Yay! Fear my lizard-skeleton hordes with vaguely aztec design!

I would be a zombie warrior with two axes and enough armor to practcally make me a tank.
A Zombie Tank. Hells yeah.

In terms of established characters I'd pick: Montblanc (FF Tactics), Zelos Wilder (Tales of Symphonia) and Kalas (from Baten Kaitos).

In terms of type I'd go with Black Mage/Warrior. Weapon of choice: something blunt.

I tend to be kinda rogue-ish.

wow, page three. just goes to show all you peeps who said I couldn't…wait, no one told me that

magician spell casting dude…I read too many books on religion and I'm pretty much an alchemist with all the time I focus on chemistry it's magic!

half dragon fighter,
Chaotic Neutral
1 greatsword, light armor

recently, I think I would actually be a half-elf magic knight. magic knight is a custom class with heavy armor, swords, bow, athletics, and a few magics.

y'know, I've come to realize this really isn't the sort of thing that belongs in The Game Room. I'm moving this to Forum Games…

dang, I've never had much luck with forums here

man since i can't use a video game…. i guess im a dark vampire mixed with with a dark knight

A bard or a rogue.

Just read my freaken banner

A Box Dog from LostMagic.

Either a Bard or Black Mage. Or to fit in the FFXI's new jobs, a Scholar. Fear me as I smack you over the head with my giant Grimoire of Hurt +2 Agility +1 Luck!

But seriously, Bard all the way. That way I can be spoony. I a spoony bard! :3
That and they do whole support thing with instruments and singing.

Black Mage, woo! Elements at my finger tips, ready to over come any obstacle in my way! Everyone needs a bit of magic with them.

I only party with scantily clad female thieves. Or scantily clad female warriors. Or the cliche' goody goody white mage.

Rogue/Illusionist, Gnome: If someone attacks you, you run! If someone dies, you Loot! If the world turns against you, bribe it! or crush it with its own darkest nightmares! Plus the nice bonus of being a Rogue is that you do not have to deal with any kind of moral crap, just you looking out for number 1.

If the above choice is unavailable then a
Bard/Fighter/Dread Pirate/Swordsage/spellthief/Jade Phoenix Mage/Ur-Priest/Fleet Runner of Ehlonna Vampire is always a good combo: “there's nothing you cant do… literally!”

i'd like the only guy with a gun or a bowmen


idk long range is just awesome to me

I'd be Ness

Rogue. =D

The bitter, half-dead hobo you find on the road who is a living example of the kind of people whose lives are ruined by the tyranny of the evil king(ozone).

I would to be an engineer or something to do with technology, failing that a dragoon from the final fantasy series.
