    Character Creation

    So I've been skimming through some informational sites and I still haven't seen any breakdown regarding the character creation page and the means of the selected options....

    1. Base Stats. Are there any particular bonus from selecting one clan/ race over the other, or is it simply cosmetic? I know in XI there were different starting stats depending on the race.

    2. Nameday. I assume that it is simply that.... But curious if there were any hidden bonuses to it?

    3. Guardian. There are several guardians and it seems there would be a bonus for selecting on over the other, however, I haven't been able to find any information regarding this.

    Hiya! Presently, nameday and guardian do not impact your character. There was a hope that in-game nameday might result in a small nameday quest/gift.

    The base stat differences are not major enough to warrant selecting a race for stats alone. Lalafells are as mighty a warrior as a roegadyn. And conversely, roegadyn are as powerful a mage as a lalafell. Choose base on your preferred aesthetics and/or sentiments!

    1:Base stats some race have more stats over the other but is no where near the level as FFXI so does not matter which one you pick.

    2 not sure

    3 they had a idea to give each one some bonus like if you pick the DOL or DOH god it would help you more at that but they never really did that it may be cut out from the game when 2.0 is release for all we know.

    The stat difference between races goes away after a few levels, so pick a race entirely on aesthetics.
