I am against racial differences.

FFXIV (like FFXI) is one of those games were you tend only to make one character where you do everything, generally because it allows you to level multiple classes on one character, and because of this, people generally pick their character that aesthetically pleasing to them. Racial differences will just pigeonhole players into picking something that they will not like aesthetically, or forces them to play as a gimp player...

Even the differences between sub races isn't nice. Personally I hate how plainsfolk taru look compared to dunesfolk, i would play a dunesfolk and take whatever penalties came with it :/ Again you are forcing people to choose between wanting to look a certain way, or being gimp.
