I wouldn't describe this game as a grind, though I guess it technically is. But, the way the game encourages you to gain experience is through parties, where each battle is supposed to feel like a challenge since you are fighting enemies of a higher level one at a time. It's much too social of a game to be considered a traditional grind, I really think.
When I think of a grind, I think of running around by yourself, killing as much as you can as fast as you can. And this isn't close to that.
Damm, I gave my FFXI account to a friend of mine, had nin 75 with awesome gear, 65 pld, 61 drk, 60 thf and 48 whm among others.. I still remembering soloing alot of things including my af set. Nin was just too fun. This makes me miss it lol.
dammm i miss my nin and my pally taru i got my acc stolen by a fat emo boy lol if only i lived in arizona i would go and kick his emo butt lmao good vid btw
I use to play FFXI, but the economy was too screwed up to do much of anything, and the game mechanics weren't my favorite. But I had fun on my Samurai.
The economy have evened out and isnt screwed up at all, for example items like SH and Hauby are only like 200~400k useally there are only a few items that still remain over 1mil gil.
i like that song, im 75NIN on Remora, Velocious Belt, Dusk Gloves, Byakko's Haidates, Walahra Turban, Suppanomimi.... use that gear to make a kick ass nin ;)
WHM sub is good for soloing spiders as NIN. Their poison is brutal and goes through shadows, but more importantly Spider Web overwrites Haste and is a very powerful slow that can slow down Utsusemi recast pretty drastically, so Erase is good to have handy.
yep... key thing missing /DRK... a NIN that knows what they are doing while /DRK is an awesome tank for most of the gods.. super easy to keep hate.. stun, its just got so much to offer
humm the producer of this video did a good work but forgot to show NIN/BLM i did so many impossible things to do as /BLM, ninjtsu skill equips, INT equips, magick att equips and u can solo nasty mobs that are sensivity to hit or WS such as Volupituos Vivian and others as soon i have my full set of /blm nin equip ill gonna try a genbu solo lets see...
You can't be to poor to lvl nin, all you gotta buy is shihei which isnt that much, there is more gear for EVA for NIN then just SH, you can use AF body and u dont need the EMP
They forgot to mention /rdm, it offers healing, fast cast to keep those shadows up, and most importantly dispel for those annoying mob buffs. Even though you'll be using a sub skill dispel doesn't get resisted much.
Video isnt bad shows people who dont know about the job the job. But it doesnt tell much about NIN other then the basics. You miss stats to focus on and every ninja's best friend....HASTE~
One thing I notice you did not think about is Red mage sub job. I use it quite offten becuse it adds to the strenghts of the weapon skill modifiers. Along with fast cast and some surivablity threw even spred stats and Cure / Support magic. Not to emention who dose not like the 5% extra DGM when using a element weapon skill whith the corrisponding En Spell on top of it.
I just ordered the game with a USB keyboard for 360. I hope it's worth it. None of the EB games stores have the game anymore. That's pretty good cus the game got 6.9 rating and lots of people bought it. I don't really believe in reviews anymore though because they always look for something revolutionary.
Pretty good video, nice song too. I would have mentioned that Nin/War has provoke though lol it's kind of the biggest reason for a nin to sub it. Kinda obvious but this is a tutorial vid after all =P
Hmmmm, i'm sorry, Nin/Whm should be taken out... NIN/WHM is the combination you don't ever put together, chage with NIN/RDM or NIN/BLU and you got yourself a hella good video
A Ninja has no A+ skills, unlike most other jobs wich have 1 or max. 2 A+ skills a ninja has !!5!! A skills but all are A- (throwing, ninjutsu, katana (kinda dumb, only ninjas can use this sort of a weapon, should be A+) evasion and parry). Nice video btw. Asura Server here, NIN 75, MNK 75, PLD 74 ,RDM 67 and COR 65 playing since 3 years, NIN was my very 1st job maxed out (when i changed servers, had a mithra before on Sylph..). (funny though, my character looks the same like in the video ^^)
Very nice video. Only criticism is.. I guess you don't really convey to me, as someone who knows how awesome Ninjas are, just how amazing they can be as shadow tanks and/or damage dealers.
You say it, but I guess you don't really make it obvious? Anyway, really great job ^_^
Very well constructed video and extremely informative. Good job! Having this basic understanding of Ninja would make me feel alot more comfortable/confident playing the job.
i find NIN very useful as a SJ for BST at lvl 20, go to qufim island get a WHM and kill them Worms like theres no tomorrow lol. i did it and got 300-350xp a shot, no band. very worthwhile

Is ninja like a "rogue" from wow?? or is that a thief
Doodx26 4 years ago
None of the aboves ...
Ninja is like ... a multi-purpose job.
You get shadows to take hits for you, which makes it an
over-rated subjob...
You get some stealth skills ...
You get elemental weakness skills.
Oh and the even-more-overrated dual wielding.
