ideas for racial traits and abilities

[Geesus]

lmao @ native DEX having that much of a noticeable effect on ACC in FFXI. Being 12 DEX below Mithra (at the most) is 6ACC below the race with the MOST native ACC. It doesn't even matter.
Anyone who bought into that junk was just silly.

Elv was the best race for most DD jobs since you cap out on ACC on most things wearing the same stuff as everyone else and then have more STR on top. Galka was better for DRK whenever soul eater is involved (especially zerging). And of course Elv wasn't the bees knees as BLM/SCH nuking (or RDM chainspell nuking) but even then the differences weren't so great... though noticeable.



If they were to implement some sort of racial traits, I'd hope they'd have an equally small impact as the core stats did in FFXI.

Buying into it or not dude it happened. As a 75 DRG I know what I'm saying. I'm not pulling it out of my ass so sorry you disagree. Point being, personally, adding stats like it was for XI would suck. People are already complaining they get left out of parties due to Primal battles only want this or that for groups. Adding anything to make one race better in a stat over another would only amplify this issue.

On the other hand, I think it would be cool if it had race stats, if only human beings wouldn't take their prejudices into a game.


And yes, Elvaan WAS the best for DD.

Yeah, except I was an Elv DRG too... I know it didn't happen the way you're saying. Your gear was bad, end of story.
