Race specific merits c.c?

[MSTRLied]

@.@ The 5% increase is a lot exaggerated (on my part...5% total sounds a bit better) but race specific merits in my mind should race specific. anything stats wise doesn't fit into race specific? esp since we technically already have a form of improving it....

Some cute quirky things each race can do would fit in more...(not to mention some races have abilities most people know nothing about.... Can you believe some members in my LS didn't know mithras can eat raw fish... and galkas raw meat.... never mind the hidden bonuses some foods provide depending on your race)

While on the subject of race specific things... we could always pull for RSE3 that way i can count the number of people having a heart attack due to me wearing gimped armor

Any amount of extra movement speed dependent on race is bad. Period. Movement speed is a buff on par with Haste in terms of power, which is why the pieces that sport it are either conditional, or generally hard to get, especially for certain jobs.

In general, your last post had a bunch of ideas that were... erm, not very good. But this is a great idea. Another tier of RSE gear would be nice, especially if just focused on massive stat boosts without downsides like the occasionally seen RSE gloves in Abyssea (I think I've heard them called NPC gloves on occasion).

I definitely would like to see RSE3, it is, with the possible exception of the original idea of the thread, the best idea in this thread.
