Next, we investigated the types of jobs within FINAL FANTASY XI.
Considering the fact that the vast majority of level 1 characters are warriors,
we decided to remove these "storage" characters from our calculations
for job type distribution this year. As a result, the percentage for warriors
decreased dramatically, accompanied by an increase in the percentages for all
other jobs. Despite thishowever, the ranking for the most popular jobs remains
largely unchanged.
The combination of white mage/black mage maintains its top position this year at 12.95%. In fact, mage job types occupy the top three positions, proving that magic users continue to be a popular choice. On the other hand, the higher percentage of beastmaster/white mage players shows a growing interest towards solo play.
