Lol i swear she has the whole FF 11 lore bookmarked somewhere lol.

Once again it's easy to find information for a game people actually care about. If people cared about XIV as much as they did other MMOs you'd be able to find information a lot more readily as well. No bookmarks necessary.

Please no, racial choice should be cosmetic only imo, I'd rather not have a repeat of the nonsense that was FFXI's racial system and the way the community handled it tyvm.

Go into the character creator of XIV and look at the stat differences between clans (if available)..it already exists in this game it's just the way stats work they really have nil impact on anything, much like in XI it had zero impact on anything but the absolute early levels (lower mp base = obviously less spell casting = less things dead) but once you hit around the cap (75, 76-99 the stat raises does very little for you) any racial difference is nil due to the gear options and merits. A taru blm can be just as shitty as a galka blm, the taru would have a higher MP base and therefore produce more shit whereas a good Galka BLM will have a smaller MP base but not suck.

I've seen better Galka mages than Taru mages due to the fact THE COMMUNITY are hardcoded to believe the tiniest of details matters when the game mechanics doesn't necessarily tell you 1 race will suck compared to another.

the starting stats are already different and no one notices.. again I said for it not to be the stats since gear and materia are for that, did you read my post?

Or a player that never created a character in the past year.
