How about racial traits, skills, stat bonuses ect...

[SuzakuCMX]

Many of you crying about how unfair racial stats are are forgetting one thing XIV has that XI didnt: clans. If you wanted to be a Galka mage, pick hellsguard, if you wanted to tank or DD, pick Seawolf. They could easily do this with each race and find a nice compramise.

They have different aesthetic options.

Has anyone thought on the idea of racial skills and stat bonuses and if they would help to expand the diversity of ones character and job when jobs are implemented?

Or has this already been brought up in a previous thread and i am just blind

Hmm, I don't why they should implent it. Actually exists a little difference in stats between races, you have (example) +1 INT on Lala than on an Hyur at level 1, but this difference doesn't grow.

i just cant help but to connect the idea of racial stat bonuses with real life.

its the exact same thing as saying white people have a naturally higher intellect while native americans have a naturally lower intellect. Obviously Intellect has absolutely nothing to do with race at all.

so, how does it make sense that a Roegadyn, or a Galka for that matter, to not be able to naturally be just as adept at a stat as any other race?

Eugenics is okay as long as it's in a fantasy setting.

Yeah. For instance, some Tolkien Elves can walk on snow and live practically forever. All fantasy races are definitely not created equal.

Fuck dwarves. Seriously. Useless.

[Dreadnought]

Fuck dwarves. Seriously. Useless.

this is one thing i can agree on. no fantasy race should be unattractive :/

Big no from me, dislike not being able to play the character/class you want because you cant preform the same as others because the race you chose.

We don't have ANY traits to begin with, so Race-independent traits might be a bit too far-fetched, on the other hand, each race has different starting stats, the problem here is that the system is so useless that stats mean jackshit and only the weapon you hold makes any difference.

Fuck dwarves. Seriously. Useless.

racial stats to unbalance job/class to race
+
Money per character
=
profit$

but everything you've unlocked on your first character will be unlocked on your secondary characters

I would pay for this
