The
race system in Final Fantasy XIV is
popular among FF fans, it is full of Japanese style. For many new players who
play FFXIV for the first time, it is
hard to choose a race. As all races are designed perfect, it may make new
players feel troubled. Now Mmogah
makes a guide about how to choose a race.
Playable
races in FFXIV: A Realm Reborn consist
of Elezen, Hyur, Lalafell, Miqo'te and Roegadyn. Each race has two separate
clans, which have separate histories in the lore. Of course, the coming FFXIV Ver3.0 Heavensward will bring a
new race Au Ra, Mmogah has prepared another
about the new race Au Ra.
l Elezen
The
Elezen are an elf-like race and the original inhabitants in FFXIV. They are a traditionally nomadic
people who in former times claimed sole domination over Eorzea, their presence
predating that of other races. They are divided into the Wildwood and the
Duskwight Elezen. The Wildwood live in the forests and possess a keen sense of
sight - a contributing factor in their unparalleled expertise as archers. The
Duskwight are a reclusive clan who dwell in caves and caverns, which has given
them a heightened sense of hearing. The two clans seem to dislike each other
immensely.
l Hyur
The
Hyur are a race that is more or less human. Boasting the largest population in
Eorzea, the Hyur came from neighboring continents and islands in three great
migratory waves... They are divided into the Midlander and the Highlander Hyur.
The Midlanders place a heavy emphasis on education, and are generally
considered to be the most cultured people of the world. Physically larger and
bulkier than their Midlander cousins, the Highlanders once governed the grand
city-state of Ala Mhigo, which was invaded and razed by the Garlean Empire.
With their homeland destroyed and their numbers decimated, the Highlanders now
eke out their existence as mercenaries.
l Lalafell
The
Lalafell are a race of physically diminutive humanoids. They were originally a
group of agriculturalists inhabiting the fertile islands of the south sea. They
are of high agility and intelligence, are from the southern regions, and are
divided into the Plainsfolk and the Dunesfolk. The Plainsfolk are a very earthy
clan who thrive on the prairies. The Dunesfolk literally live on the backs of
enormous beasts of burden and are known for wearing gemstones in their
foreheads that signify their zodiacal signs.
l Miqo'te
The
Miqo'te are a cat-like humanoids race. During the Age of Endless Frost, as the
seas turned to ice and passage over them became possible, Eorzea saw an influx
of foreigners to her shores... The Miqo'te are very devout people, but are
divided into two religious sects: the Seekers of the Sun, who are dedicated to
the sun goddess Azeyma the Warden, and the nocturnal Keepers of the Moon, who
are dedicated to the moon goddess Menphina the Lover.
l Roegadyn
The
Roegadyn are a physically large and muscular race. They are a maritime people
whose largest concentrations are found in the northern seas, by way of which
they came to Eorzea... They hail from the northern regions and are divided into
the Sea Wolves and the Hellsguard. The Sea Wolves were once a band of fearsome
pirates, but have since largely abandoned that lifestyle; presently they are
normally employed as sailors or naval mercenaries. The Hellsguard, on the other
hand, dwell in a volcanic region and are said to be masters of the magical
arts, guarding the gateway to Hell itself.
The
differences between different races are not only apparence, but also stats.
Here is a chart that shows each FFXIV race,
subrace and their corresponding stats.
From
the chart we can see that the difference is not abvious, you can choose the
race you like to play.
