When you begin playing Final Fantasy XI, you will have to create a new character. Creating a character consists of several steps, each allowing several options to customize your gameplay experience. Click anyone of the steps to jump to it’s section on the page.

1. Race ? Gender (except Mithra and Galka) ? 2. Face type ? 3. Hair color ? 4. Physical size (small, medium, large) ? 5. Standard job ? 6. Character name and world (server) ? 7. Country (allegiance)

When you select “Create Character” from the top menu and press the |Enter| key, the character creation screen will appear. Remember that you must first sign up for a Content ID on the Final Fantasy XI top page to create an open account. You may purchase up to 16 Content IDs (in other words, create up to 16 characters). If you already have 16 characters, you will be unable to create additional characters. You must select “Delete Character” to create an empty space first.

If you have purchased a Content ID to create your first character, you should see one open slot. Select the open slot with the pointer and press the |Enter| key to begin the character creation process.

Simply deleting a character does not cancel a Content ID. To cancel a Content ID, you will need to use the “Cancel” option for Content IDs on the Final Fantasy top page.
