Talk:Expansions of Final Fantasy XI

Summoner Removal
I pulled Summoner off of the list of Rise of the Zilart jobs because it technically doesn't belong there. Though Summoner wasn't available when the game went live, it did become available before the release of the Rise of the Zilart expansion (though it was unable to obtain any avatar other than Carbuncle at that point). Further, while Dragoon, Samurai, and Ninja, are all found in the section of the English-language manual devoted to Rise of the Zilart, Summoner is missing. --Junior612 18:52, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Are the previous games needed to play this?
 * You need to have the core FFXI game in order to play any of the expansions listed on this page. Each iteration of Final Fantasy (i.e. I, II, III, etc...) is completely stand alone.  Even the settings are wildly different.  --Junior612 (talk) 21:28, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Scholar and Weather
I play FFXI, and despite not seeing many scholars anywhere (it's not a very popular job with the players), I *can* say it CAN affect the weather on a particular player, not on the whole zone. You get a series of spells that, when you cast one on another player, you gain a special effect that gives you a weather status, they're called -storm spells, they all end with the word storm. So if you cast "Firestorm" the fire weather spell on a player, that player will be able to use items that activate during fire weather (a "hot spell" or "heat wave" depending on the strength of the weather), and your fire spells have a chance to be more potent (casting a fire spell during fire weather can grant a +10% bonus to the potentcy (damage) of an offensive spell. So, in a way, Scholar IS like a Geomancer, that it affects weather.  There's also -helix spells, which do some damage to the target, and continue to do damage over time, and those are also affected greatly by the weather.

Maybe I'm being long-winded, but Scholar does have weather related abilities, on top of everything else they do. --Sabishii Kouen (talk) 16:38, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
