Elvaan = Damage, high STR and attack.
Mithra = Something... High DEX and AGI.
Hume = Jack of all trades.

This has been around since the game came out, and I'm sure everybody knew this and chose the race accordingly based on what they like most. To come up 10 years later and all of a sudden say this needs to change, everything needs to be equal is throwing in your "Game it too easy, make it easier so I literally don't have to do anything and throw my money at SE." If you don't like your races weak point, you have 3 choices.
A. Make a new character that has the stats you want. Exp isn't hard to get.
B. Pull up your big girl panties and get over it.
C. Quit.
The point is that certain stats are fairly useless. I have np with races make a difference, but when certain stats are pretty useless, it become a penality.

I picked Hume because brandy guide(or w/e guide that's old) told me Hume is jack of all trade and best for jack of all trade jobs like RDM and BLU, and I wanted to main RDM or BLU when I started.

Only to turn out that for BLU STR and DEX are most important stat and hume sucked. Hume has balanced INT MND VIT CHR MP etc and all those are useless for BLU and majority of other jobs. Then I leveled COR and Hume still sucked with AGI compare with cats and tarus.

Reroll a char? No way I'm starting all over again just for a few stat boost, but it feels bad that everytime that another race is doing more dmg than me in same gears when I have 0 advantage over them. I have np staying as jack of all trade Hume forever, but only if other stats become useful. Currently any stat that's not HP STR DEX AGI are pretty meh.
