Instead of seeing endless Sephiroths or RAmars in black, you see endless armies of midget Forces! It's quite odd, in my opinion. I had logged onto a Japanese server (hoping to befriend a few and get spiffy items), to find a lobby full of the afore-mentioned Forces. Most looked a lot alike. I shrugged it off and joined a game. There, yet again, were the tiny magic-users. They were playing like Hunters and Rangers, however. Two were armed with Double Sabers (I bought one, heh heh), and another with a Gatling Gun. So if you're bugged out by all those Hunters and Rangers on the US Servers, keep this in mind. Coming soon: Europeans!"

I've noticed that too.... weird huh? I'm pretty sure though it's because the japanese want a challenge, and that's probably by now their 5th character or so. Soon americans will realize there is much more to be gained by becoming a Force (One of the harder classes to be) then a Hunter with immense attack power.

Although I don't visit Japanese servers often, I understand their choice of Force characters...(the fat midget thing must be a Japanese trend...heh). I am on my sixth character, having used RAmar, RAcast, HUmar (several variations) and finally, a FOnewmn. The fact is, they ARE the most powerful characters in the game, they just start off the weakest. So if you truly want to be a badass, get a force (preferably the stupid looking male force) and level him way up.
