Everyone gets their one time race change, at 2.0 launch. Start pondering.

Personally, I'd never be anything other than a lala, though I may switch to dunesfolk since i'm a primary caster. I can't stand the viewpoint of other races. I rolled all of them on my mule account to check them out. I couldn't stand it in xi, and i can't stand it in xiv.

My first race was hume in xiv 9 years ago. I started in bastok. I got to level 10, and happened to wander by the goldsmith guild in search of a place to sell my crap. I saw a taru synthing copper ingots, and fell in love with how they looked. I deleted my hume and created a taru on the spot, and never looked back. I am heavily disappointed that they are doing away with that type of synthing though, those little arm motions are what made endless hours of crafting bearable.
