There are currently five playable races in FFXIV.Although the specifics have not been released yet,each race will have special bonuses and talents to make them all appealing.
Roegadyn
The Roegadyn are a maritime people whose largest concentrations are found in the northern seas, by way of which they came to Eorzea.They possess enormous, muscular builds and are known for the cultural emphasis they place on competition and unflinching courage, though tender, introspective individuals can also be found.
Elezen
The Elezen are a traditionally nomadic people who in former times claimed sole domination over Eorzea,their presence predating that of the other races.Their characteristically tall,slim physiques and elongated limbs are part of a successful adaptation to the land's various environments.
Miqo'te
The Miqo'te appear to be a female-only race.During the age of Endless Frost,as the seas turned to ice and passage over them became possible,Eorzea saw an influx of foreign fauna to her shores.
Lalafell
The Lalafell were originally a group of agriculturalists inhabiting the fertile islands of the south seas.They are one of the more populous races and are well established throughout the region, though they remain averse to cold climates.
Hyur
Boasting the largest population in Eorzea, the Hyur came from neighboring continents and islands in three great migratory waves. With them they brought a sophisticated technology and complex ethos tempered by the breadth of the outside world.
