maybe if they were a racial BONUS and not a racial HINDRANCE like we saw with races in FFXI. I forgot exactly, but didn't the original everquest have distinct bonuses that didn't prevent you from anything(i know you could only choose certain classes but besides that) things like longer breath under water, better night vision, longer sprinting. none of these things are truly needed since the default level is sufficient so what you get is a bonus. now leave it up to the devs to figure out things to fit what could be a bonus in this game(because its not stats gear and materia do all that.) So what kinds of things could be a bonus? we know jumping is coming so the cats can jump a few steps higher? the lalafell can crawl through small cracks to spots in dungeon where the other races would need to go around.. I dont know what can y'all think of?
