I WANT RACE BONUS REINTRODUCTION IN ARR!

I WANT TO USE CAPS LOCK SO THE TITLE BECOMES MORE IMPORTANT!

No.
for the 6th time.
there have been 257 arguments in 5 threads against it.

Hey mod, i pay you 50 Crysta if you lock this.
seriously, i do.
just write me a PN.

More like racial penalty. Some of you want this so you can focus on one thing like roe melee and lala blm. I hate to break this news to you but you are encouraged to lvl more then 1 job. Those focusing on one specialized thing like this are a minority in FF and you are hurting more then benefiting by adding racial stats.

Throwing in my big NOOO, to the racial bonus for ARR
I hated it in WOW making me choose races that was best for the certain classes I preferred.

If the "bonuses" is just purely cosmetic or something for fun, I would not mind that as much. But making 1 race clearly better than any other for a class. Big NOO

Someone find a quote from SE and the DEVs where the answer to this is clearly a "NOT GOING TO HAPPEN- SO NO!" answer!

@OP
If you've been following the development of XIV, they're clearly not giving race-specific stats. It's just Race Specific Gear! Races is just for appearances only.
DO your homework because I'm not doing it for you. Get a clue!

lol. falafel. i'm so hungry...

I always thought the concept of having 2 clans for each race was genius. It would alow each race to have racial specs for each job class, one with larger base mage specs, and one with larger combat race specs. So for example, the red Roe's are better at being mages, while the blue Roe's would be better at being physical jobs. When the concept was first introduced before the launch of 1.0 I thought thats how it would be. But alas, it was nothing close to that really. Bummed me out.

For example, a Taru PLD would likely last a bit longer solo than a Galka PLD due to the Taru's obscene MP pool, even if the difference is only a few hundred MP, that MP could equal a few thousand HP recovered versus the 300-400 extra HP a Galka might have over the Taru.

Now just think of all the implications it would have towards endgame events pre-ARR like 1.0's Garuda, it would be obvious Lallafells would have an overbearing advantage when it came to the BLM zergs, yet a regimine of Galka MNK's/DRG's might destroy competition on things like Miser's Mistress, your entire performance might make or break a run solely on your race. I'd rather not run into such situations especially where they have been trying hard to keep racial differences and jobs as close to possible in performance so skill and gear is a more dependent factor than racial stats.

(And yes I realize I may be exaggerating my point a bit.)

You failed to mention how taru's got one shot by a lot of bosses cause of poor hp even with good hp gear it was lack luster.
