Which job do you think fits each race?

[Enkidoh]

I think you just have to look at the official artwork (not the CG propaganda artwork either) for each class and Job to see what race SE themselves regards as the literal 'poster race' for that Job or class (and some choices are rather surprising).

But to writ:

GLA: male miqo'te
PLD: male roegadyn
MRD: female roegadyn
WAR: male hyur (as in, the infamous Derplander )
DRK: male elezen
GNB: male hyur
ARC: male elezen
BRD: female miqo'te
MCH: male miqo'te
LNC: female hyur
DRG: male elezen
PGL: male hyur
MNK: female hyur
ROG: female miqo'te
NIN: male hyur
SAM: female elezen
DNC: female viera
THM: male lalafell
BLM: female elezen
RDM: female miqo'te
ACN: female elezen
SMN: male miqo'te
SCH: female elezen
CNJ: female miqo'te
WHM: female lalafell
AST: female au ra

Warrior is a perfect fit for lalafells just because it's funny to look at the small potato carrying a large axe. Hahahaha!

It's been said before, but any race can work great with any job, it's just a matter of making the right glamour.

That said, I am particularly fond of female Au Ra for Bard and Dragoon, Viera for Dark Knight, and female Midlander or Viera for White Mage.

I don't really get why so many people think WHM = Lala or generally healer = Lala. Because they're cute and tiny?
Imo WHM fits Midlander much better as Gridania is presently the centre of both conjury and white magic and afaik every Padjal is a Hyur. Only very few Lalafel are found in Gridania and ARR trailer Lala aside, you don't really find much ingame that points towards Lalafel when it comes to white magic.
SCH fits Lala really well as they are known for their intellect and strategic thinking (think of all the successful Lala merchants). But WHM? Not so much.

Its an assumption that started in 11
In XI lalafells, or tarus, had a much bigger MP pool then any other races an were often healers or blms or rdm, or smn especially.
It was so huge a difference in fact that some races trying to be whm pre level cap were not invited to parties. A galka whm would very often be passed over.

They are not cute and tiny but cute outside evil inside, perfect for a role that control you live and death lol
