That's good to know. I can just choose a race based on what I like better aesthetically then.

I'm feeling like I might go DPS/Tank in the long run. I'll have to look and see if there's any class crossovers there as far as jobs. Might make that easier to attain. Though from what I hear melee DPS is harder to pull off than ranged due to all the AOE attacks from bosses.
