It'd be nice if each race did things slightly differently. Its boring seeing a Hyur next to a Miqo'te, both paladins, standing the same, swinging their swords the exact same way.
In FFXI each race did things differently, gave the game more flavor and diversity. Mithras sort of crouched with a one handed sword and used it more aggressively. Elvaans used the one handed sword like a fencer, or a knight. Tiny little details that made a world of difference, even in casting animations. Every race casts black and white magic basically the same, just with very tiny differences.
This is the perfect example of all the races as monks in their battle pose, even differences between male and female of the same race.
