Race specific traits?

[MediocreIndigo]

It's kind of odd that the races in XIV have different starting attributes at all considering the differences are so minor that they only really matter in the early game and quickly become obsolete once you start gaining levels. As for my opinion on racial traits, I personally like it when they don't make a huge difference in gameplay, considering having them matter too much like in D&D (though recently 5E has been trying to move away from this) can lead to race pretty much locking you into a certain role.

Considering that we still do have small racial stat bonuses and barely anyone remembers or notices, goes to show how pointless it can ultimately be at the end of the day for this game, and I honestly want to keep it that way.

If I want to play my ankle biter race, I want it to be because I look funny, not cause it gives me +3% to back attacks or some other nonsense.
