Hey guys. I just started playing FFXIV and created a new character. However, I noticed that the attributes are different from what is shown in race selection screen.

Eg. Mito'qe seeker. Supposed to have Str 21/ Dex 22/ Vit 20/ Int 18/ Mnd 19/ Pie 20

However, my new seeker (archer) only has Str 18/ Dex 23/ Vit 19/ Int 14/ Mnd 14/ Pie 16

Can someone explain abit? I searched on google and there's no explanation for the differences. I also tried creating new mito'qe lancer and arcanist and he has different sets of attributes.

Can it be due to the class? If so, what does the racial attributes shown during character creation mean then?
