I suggest you go Beast. You have a race bonus, get your equipment faster (the ATP requirement on some A-ranks...*shudder*), and don't have to work as hard to keep your character constantly dealing damage.

If you want a challenge, then go CAST, I suppose. You don't get the race bonus, but you have higher ATA =

beast is a good choice to go with. If they didn't exist in this game I would have said cast.

I'd choose a cast but that's just because I use one and he switches between fortefighter and fighgunner.

Pick whatever race you think is prettiest. Really, that's all that matters.

Beasts have harelips. Do you want a character with a harelip?

I never really understood why people think a Cast Fortefighter is a poor combination?

I'm a L57 Cast (Level 7 Fortefighter), I ALWAYS do more damage than other characters and classes at higher levels and I have more HP than anyone else. I like melee combat and SUVs so it was a no brainer for me, just make sure you get friendly with a good Force.

I wouldn't read too much into the stats of each character type/class just pick based on how you like to play, what you like the look of and what weapons/items you want to use.

A cast fortefighter is superb but I like prancing around as a giant kitty.

for fighgunner/fortefighter i think Cast is better because on FF the ata boost helps A LOT and SUV dmg is based on your atp and for FiG its like the class casts were specifically designed to do.

just pick the one you think looks cooler, and CASTs aren't such a bad choice for fortefighters, they're more or less above average fortefighters.

That would explain why I can do 1200+ damage in one hit from my Grom. It's a godsend for bosses, line it up and there's an instant 4000 minimum damage inflicted, more if they have multiple targets.

Just do what everybody else has pretty much said. Choose which class you looks coolest to you.

This isn't FF XI, stats don't really mean anything and damage per second is a moot point because everything dies fast enough anyway.

Even in FFXI, it was more worthwhile to pick a race you wanted to look at than picking a race with good stats. As for the cast vs beast as fortefighter, I really think Sega should have made Dezolians instead of Motavians. Motavians were very hulk smash, which was already seen in casts, but no other race were religious spellcasters like Dezolians. I guess they wanted numen to fill that nitch, so they rehauled them into forces even though they should be hunters.


Sorry, I'm a sucker for continuality...

They both dominate Fortefighter putting the other 2 races to shame. I don't play a hunter that well(I don't like melee, I'm spoiled on long range for being too good), but the Cast FF is gifted with a long ranged attack from their SUV's that no else can get; it does add some nice variety to your fighting.

Oh, and Da ANA is going to be a fortefighter...... well that is if I decide to let his ass out of his room, which probably won't be for awhile(LMAO).

CAST is #1 in DFP and #1 in ATA(two of the 3 defining traits of the class) and #2 in everything else partaining to fortefighter. They aren't walking mate depensers either. They get nice HP. Human an OK fortefighter when outfitted well but they are 3rd in everything and first, second in nothing.

Cast is arguable the best fortefighter. While the beast has higher ATP, and HP, the low ATA means using Axes (the class's key weapon), with be tough.

Cast also have higher DFP which means the HP difference will mostly negated. The MST difference is negligible.

On a final note, Fortefighters suffer from a lack of ranged attack choices. But for Casts, most SUVs count as ranged damage.

Casts..FTW

Exactly why I like them. I don't think I have ever missed with my axe since I've gotten it except for like once or twice.
