1 Race 1 Job

[Arkenne]

Lazy times!

So,
Something poped on my mind and was wondering...

What if Final Fantasy XIV was like those games where you can only pick 1 job to play with?
Wooo~ infinite alts!! But thats isn't the matter here *throws that out the window*

If you could only pick one job in this game (battle or crafter/gather). Which race do you think would fit each job the best?

As for example:

BLM - Lala
DRK - Aura
MCH - Roe
BTN - Elzen

And so on :v

[EA9Sol]

Hmm, that's simple for me! ^^ Monk - Miqo'te every time!

[Frederick22]

I dont see why the elezen cannon be DRK too, since the Dark Knights are from Ishgard
I think that a better Job for the Aura are the Ninjas, since they are from the same country
MCH is Machinist, right? welll... yea since Machinist is not a local Job, according to the lore was intruding by Garlong Ironworks. So a Roe/Midlander from limsa that "doesnt wanna be musketter" can choose that one jajajaj xD

lalafells can be caster, ltw, wvr, cul, alc, chop grass, and catch krill - everything else is to heavy for them.

Drg: Au'ra...cause dragon.
Mnk: Highlander...cause lore
Nin: Miq, cause agile?
Blm: Lala, cause their fat bodies can hold lots of aether
Smn: lala, cause they can't do much on their own
Pld: Hyur, cause they are the most free-spirited?
Brd: Elezen
Sch: tonberry
Whm: padjal
Mch: goblins
Ast: elezen
Drk: lalafells, cause they are evil....but drk arn't evil, so....Highlanders? guess they could turn towards darkness, to avenge ala'mhigo.

How I would see it:

Paladin - Roegadyn Female (Honorable and protective)
Warrior - Highlander Male (Rage-filled)
Dragoon - Elezen Male (Long reach)
Monk - Highlander Female (Rugged Tifa)
Bard - Miqo'te Female (Savage turned poet)
Black Mage - Lalafell Female (Power craving runt)
Summoner - Hyur Midlander Male (Slightly biased ^^)
White Mage - Elezen Female (Gridanian maiden)
Scholar - Lalafell Male (Cautious bookworm)
Ninja - Au Ra Female (Swift and nimble)
Dark Knight - Au Ra Male (Pretty much cannon at this point, isn't it?)
Astrologian - Miqo'te Male (Effeminate Keeper of the Moon)
Machinist - Hyur Midlander Female (High-born tinkerer turned soldier)

As for the Roegadyn Male he... does all the heavy lifting and repairs for the group. Master gatherer and crafter.

WHM - Seeker Miqo'te
BLM - Dunesfole Lalafel

If you look at the world, certain races already have roles that each one falls into.

Thaumaturges tend to be Lalafell (dunes folk)
Lancers tend to be Elezen (both duskwight/wildwood)
Archers tend to be Miqo'te (both seeker/keeper)
Conjurers tend to be Hyur (midlander)
Pugilists tend to be Hyur (highlander)
Gladiators tend to be Roegadyn (hellsguard)
Marauders tend to be Roegadyn (sea wolf)
Arcanists are a mixed bag, usually Lalafell (plainsfolk), Miqo'te (seeker), or Hyur (midlander)

These are due to the lore coupled with regional differences and common-sense stuff (Lalafell gravitate towards magic to make up for lack of strength, Roe size and strength gives them an edge tanking, etc.)
