Ah, and btw: I don't like that Lalafel have the same HP and MP as Roegadyn almost immediately from the start. That's where the realism lacks, in my opinion. No problem with compensating for the one or the other with (race) specific equipment, but at LV 10, a Roegadyn should have significantly more HP (and less MP or less something else) than a Lala.

I'm well aware that I'm likely in the minority on that matter, but I think not having racial differences is one of the facets of why people do not perceive they play a unique "character". Is being locked into a certain race/class combination better? - arguably not. But at the moment, the only thing differenciating between a Mithra and a Roegadyn is visuals. Boring. I want to look at a tree-tall Roegadyn Paladin and know: "He'll still stand after we've all gone down". Or at a tiny Lala Paladin and know: "He may not be the toughest cookie around, but boy, he's got enough MP to cure whatever hits he takes all by himself".

That's "character".
