New with LOTS of questions

For me, choice of the race only about your taste, which race you most like. After that make he/her stature base on your imagine of your future character.

Most likely won't upgrade to the PS4 for a while. I am a father and my kids come first money wise, the second factor is my PC can handle the game also and buying a $24 game on PC is A LOT cheaper then buying a ps4 since I already own the PC. The other thing is they have said PS3 support will be at least through the Heavensward expansion which means it won't stop being supported until the expansion after that probably and by that time I might be bored.

Just as a note since you asked which race would be best at healing, while the starting stats are largely negligible, it's worth noting that the highest base Mind (Healing power) score and second base highest Piety (MP Max) score belong to the Moon Miqo'te.

Here's a quick reference sheet if you're concerned enough about your starting attribute values: http://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wi...ing_Attributes (Scroll to the bottom)
