Not to mention in FFXI racial bonuses mainly went to:

- Mithra could eat raw sea food.
- Galka could eat raw meats.

That's so minor that being against it is really just disagreeing with an idea for no reason -- The stat differences in FFXI only mattered early levels, end game levels everyone was boosted through gear progression and buffs, not because you have 5-7 int higher than another race, which is almost nothing end-game.
