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

[Jennestia]

If they did make the racial stats different than the small difference they have currently, I would hope they also allow free race changes.

This was already confirmed, especially due to graphical engine changes.

The main problem with race differences is the community. I remember in XI how nobody wanted a Taru to tank despite the fact that one player I knew had straight up point-for-point better stats and gear than the current tank (was also a better player) but the mindset didn't let it happen.

Small differences are interesting but the fact that a choice you make can and will alter the life of the game can leave some people feeling like they got the short end of the stick (taru pun?) when it comes to later down the road.

As it stands right now I don't see any pain on the pain/pleasure spectrum for not having stat differences whereas there will be if stat differences exist. So why create potential pain when there is none now?

Because Lalafell are just flat-out better than all the other races. We need our stats to be plainly better so everyone else can see it, too.

A tiny difference is ok. Anything significant, forcing people to actually "feel" a Lala's low HP, or a Roge's weak nukes is too much.

Necro bump only to say that? seriously...!!!

I will only support this is we get a Fab trait

You should only get that trait if you have legacy status and are on the Balmung server. Since, you know, it's the most FABULous server ever.
