Racial Differences in Stats

[zaviermhigo]

My boyfriends a roeg and was a galka, he would hate to be gimped again just due to playing the race he wants to play. I agree with its cool and it makes sense, the clans technically support a mage clan and a dd/tank clan, but what if you're a seeker of the sun who wants to play a mage, that is just the most appealing to you. As a seeker of the sun, in a realistic stat distribution, they'd be bad mages, and they'd have to work harder with gear and such to make up the difference, and with materia its possible, but no one wants to materia themselves out to equalize with another race, they want to be OP when they add materia! (meaning you're a roegadyn who does play a mage because I know a ton you guys are racist, if you use mp materia you might equalize with a lalafell without materia, but not if that lalafell has materia) So all around I say no, the system mixed with Square Enix might lead to half assery, which no one likes.

In each race there are two clans that would need to accounted for, I do not want to scrap that lore, they'd be no reason for me to have a long tail versus the seeker of the sun, it would all just be aesthetic, I like it the way it is with some lore to back it up. I just think once you get to "oh I'm a dunesfolk or plainsfolk' and I can't do magic the whole races want to be a certain job falls through. Because characters know stats don't matter so much racially, they chose whichever clan, luckily I'm already the mage clan of Miqote of this was instituted but think about all the people who just chose what looked good to them, and then chose what classes they liked, a good portion of them would be kinda of angry having to use materia to just hit base stats of others.
