I gonna be starting FFXI this weekend and I was wondering how well Galkas are accepted. I was thinking of going this race becuase i wanna be a WAR/NIN and I wanted to be Muscular.

i really dont think ppl descriminate over the race of the characters.. mostly characters with horrible job combos are frowned upon..example : MNK/RDM ... hahaha.. and yes ppl walk around with that crap

Im not a melee expert but Galka War/Nin is good in my opinion.

Hate Galkas! Down with Galkas!

....just kidding.

At least you'll be able to see over the crowd in Jeuno.

Just be sure, as fellow up there said, don't do ridiculous job combinations!

Only Galka hatred I ever encountered was on the Allakhazam forums.

hey as far as galkas being ugly and/or mean and/or stupid etc etc, i think someone had this in thier profile on the boards.


"i'm not a smelly galka, i bathe in the blood of tarus, therefore by proxy i'm cute and cuddley."
hey, it made me laugh...

anyways if you're just starting out i think shiva's a great server, lots of great people on it, and a galka war/nin is always welcome in my pt. oh and check the world pass forums if you want to make sure you get in.

Depends on what job you want to play. As others have said; Galka whm's are extremely looked down upon but that is because they are weak. Elvaan whm's are even looked down upon some too but they are kewl in my book. They just don't have a lot of mp at the earlier lvls. At later lvls they still have a lower mp pool than say a mithra (no point in comparing to TaruTaru) but their higher MND comes into play more. or so I have been told.

To get back to the point. Galka's are good at Monks, Wars, Paladins, Ninjas (haven't seen many but as far as I know it should work), and Dragoons. If you go the Paladin route, understand that you will have seriously low mp and will need to know how to use provoke to its utemost. As I've played a whm with a Galka pld I never encountered him having a problem holding hate in the Crawler's Nest. In contrast a war/nin or war/mnk always has problem holding hate; to the point where you need a second tank to trade aggro back and forth. Otherwise your damage dealers and mages are getting hit too much, IMHO.

If you 'want' to explore all the other jobs that are more magically inclined then I would suggest Mithra or Hume. Mithra are second best in almost every job and they have the best dex (thereby they hit the most often). The only jobs that Mithra aren't good at are Bards and Beastmasters which require charisma. Which, ironically, Mithra have the lowest Charisma of the races. A Galka mage may look kewl but the lack of mp will get 'seriously' annoying. Even as a Hume, I hate running out of mp; a Galka would 'always' be out of mp and as a whm (Primary Healer)? that is a notsogood thing.
