Once physical levels are gone, will racial stats start to matter?

[Rhomagus]

Well, can I have a boat that doesn't use water to travel?

Edit:
Seriously, I'm taking lore & or fantasy into consideration.
Not that it's mentioned anywhere that a roegadyn is an almighty power creature...but,

Wouldn't a lalafell be like "I'd rather fight a mid-size hyur than one of those roegadyn's!"?

Haven't read the entire thread but in the beginning Ul'dah missions there are Lalafell twins that serve as bouncers. Size doesn't matter in Eorzea.
