How to Tank in "Final Fantasy XIV"
"Final Fantasy IV" is a story of romance, intrigue and high fantasy.This is only the second "Final Fantasy" game that you can play with others, and the only one available exclusively for PC. A successful party of adventurers should have someone to damage the monsters, or "DPS," someone to heal the party and someone to maintain the attention of the monsters, known as the "tank." Tanking in FFXIV is a loftier prospect than in most massively multi-player online games. The ability to play any class, and switch them on the fly, means your choice of classes to level is crucial to successful tanking.

Tips & Warnings
