    This is seriously needed in this game. I know it sounds awful, but this game could use a little more... racism? Or at least NPCs of other races making snide or candid references to other races history or mannerisms.

    Also I miss the speech quirks, for example the Mithra and Tarutaru, where Mithra would roll their "r"s and Tarutaru would end things in "-aru" or say adjectives like "careful-wareful"

    As it is now it seems that speech mannerisms and behavior are tied more heavily to city-states, and that's alright, but beyond that it'd be nice to have NPCs that sounded and behaved differently based on race and the race of otherpeople around them.

    Also Duskwight? Dunesfolk? Hellsguard? There's no cave civilizations, no dunes, no volcanic regions, nothing to support these sub-race's origins. It'd be nice if Seekers of the Sun and Keepers of the Moon even mentioned something about the sun or moon.

    There's one Miqo'te retainer that rolls her Rs on occasion "There's no call for concerrrn"
    I'd imagine the naming conventions would be the same for them as the Mithra naming conventions, since they're both predatory races.

    It goes beyond naming conventions though. It's almost as if everyone is of the same heritage but with a different appearance. There's no concept of culture.

    And if the devs truly intended Eorzea to be a cosmopolitan melting pot of zero racial identity, then you'd think there's be a lot more interspecies breeding to say the least >_>;

    There must be a reason for that though, right? Plus, it's true that people that live in a different country which has people who have a different accent from their own develop the same accent as the native population, either out of habit or necessity so that may be the case here as well.

    It's looks as though they kind of just used the XI races to populate Eorzea, without really giving any thought to their origin aside from mentioned obscure names of places they could implement later.
