I WANT RACE BONUS REINTRODUCTION IN ARR!

[Atoli]

I'm starting to feel like this person is a troll, but I'm willing to see him as just a new forum user for now (seeing how he has close to no posts yet):

Dear junebug,
in the upper right corner of this forum is a search function you can use to search for a certain topic before you start a new thread. Most topics have been discussed to death already and people get easily annoyed if they are brought up again and again by people who are too lazy to use the search function

The general feedback to the topic of race bonus was that most people liked it the way it was in FFXIV 1.0 - very slight differences, like 1 INT more or less than other races, so that everyone can be any class they like without restrictions.
(Of course there were a few people who'd like it better the FFXI way, but they were only a few).

I feel like Racial bonuses kill the whole theme of anybody being able to do anything. In 11 I wanted to be a Taru but I wanted to try melee classes among magic classes, so I felt like I had to choose Hume just because of the racial bonuses. If I have to choose a race again based off end game stats again then I'd be beyond annoyed

I wouldn't want the race bonuses. Since as previous posters have stated this is all about being who you wanna be and still having an equal chance at anything (if that makes sense)

[Mortechai]

I don't mind if bonuses are in or aren't. I'am gonna play whatever race I want anyway. And to top that off, I level capped every job in 11(A lot pre-abyssea) and already have a head start on the same in 14 XD. So if we get race bonuses back, cool, my race will be good at a couple of the jobs I have capped and less so at the rest. Woop dee! If not, I'll still have everything capped XD.

Isn't an idea that makes FFXIV sort of special the fact that you are not restricted to one class like it is in many other games but that you can experience the multitude of different classes?
To add racial bonuses would add class restriction again from behind. That would be a paradox and screwing the whole idea of the initial class system.
Sure, you could be a black mage as a roegadyn but as others have stated before there is the trend to maximise your effective output and/or the trend of being expected to have it maximised, otherwise you are cast out. Which would lead to restricted classes again. Not technically restricted but community-wise.

i think all the races should have some kind of unique bonus. but i wouldnt recommend changing stats too specific races. maybe a certain day of the week can make a certain race stronger or a type of food will give more bonus too a certain race. but i feel the original stats should be left alone.

As long as Seafood dishes start doing more than one thing. in 1.0, a certain type of dish, be it Meat dish or Egg dish, had only one effect across all foods of their type. That would make it bad for a Miqo'te tank whos trying to get the tanking bonuses out of grain dishes, but wont get the full benefit of it because miqo'te's favorite is seafood dish, and seafood dishes were crafter/gatherer food. They would have to balance it all out if they were to do that.

Shut up. Seriously.
