Currents : Flip-Flop
Ever gotten those annoying pamphlets delivered to you through Mog Mail?
"This week only: Free Goblin Doll with any order greater than 5,000 Gil"
"Love life? Join Salaheem's Sentinels!"
"Sign the petition for reversing the Ranger Nerf(tm) at your local ambassy!"
You know, that kind of junk.
But once in a while, I get more interesting pamphlets promoting less shameful plugs. Like my last one :
"Changes to the Samurai Training Program : Ready, Set, Hasso!"
I read the promotional material, which tried to incite adventurers into considering Samurai as a career choice, now that new abilities can be learned in dojos around Vana'diel. I admit, I had a fancy in Samurai previously, seeing some in action. If there's one thing that gets my blood pumping, it's whenever I learn a new weapon skill. I got all giggly when I learned Howling Fist a few weeks back. Gotta say, it's always fun to learn a new way to lay the smackdown on your prey.
But that's not all the advertisement I keep for further thoughts. I get some other promotional pamphlets about other jobs: Dark Knight, Bard, Warrior, Beastmaster... And I'm a very impressional gal, to be honest. So whenever I get one of those in the mail, or even see some awesome adventurer in action, I start daydreaming...
How would I fare as a Black Mage? Or as a Dragoon? What about Corsair? Wouldn't it be cool if I were also a Summoner?
As for proof, just ask Firewall. He's a salesman I've contracted in Jeuno for selling some of the stuff I gather on my journeys. He offered as an added service some storage space. I kid you not, he's currently holding stuff for me to go out as a White Mage, Blue Mage and Ninja right now, seeing how my own space is filled to the brim with Monk stuff, and recently, Paladin gear. And I'm seriously considering other jobs, but knowing how I suck at time management, I feel like I really should concentrate on at most two of them.
But which ones?
Obviously, I should keep at being a Monk. I'm doing a great job as it is, though for most of my career I've been outshone by well-equipped Dragoons. It's sad how so many people put those warriors of the spear down. However, ever since I've recently gotten my 61st level of achievement as a Monk, I've never seen my fists fly as fast as they are now before. Seriously, if I combine my Monk training with my Warrior lessons, I can send a flurry of blows in a very short lapse of time when the proper occasion arises. It's too bad I didn't have a chance to get back into some action ever since... Damn the overabundance of melee-oriented adventurers all wanting to get some training done at the same time.
For those days when it looks near impossible to get some training done, I've decided to learn a side-job to keep myself busy. Of all the jobs, I ended up picking Paladin. That felt a bit weird, to be honest. One moment, I'm out wailing my fists on various monsters, and the next, monsters keep wailing their beaks/claws/slimy bits at me. I won't lie, I really enjoy wielding the sword and shield. I might not be strong, nor sturdy, but I've got good gear to compensate for my lithe frame. And the best part... THAT GEAR'S CHEAP!!! ...at least in comparison to what I'm used to buy as a Monk. Sure, a few hundred thousands of gil for two rings might seem a lot, but compared to all the "standard" Monk attire... Much refreshing indeed.
Still, even with those two jobs, I still feel the itch to try out other stuff. Some I've already done before, others I can only wish I could try...
The amazing skillchaining of a Samurai...
The uncanny dodging of a Ninja...
The studious learnings of a Blue Mage...
The faithful companionship of a Dragoon...
The unforgiving wrath of a Black Mage...
The unending versatility of a Red Mage...
The soothing voice of a Bard...
The slick gambling of a Corsair...
Yah... Way too much on my mind at any given time. And yet, so little space in storage for it all. I can only wish I could get Monk done soon so I can start off another career. That, or get Paladin through a quick grind to make room for some new training. Too bad I have so many limitations keeping me from following my heart at any given time...
