| - Final Fantasy XI allows players to choose between five different races, each with its own strengths and weaknesses in terms of . While certain races' are better matched to some jobs more than others, the differences are never so profound as to prevent any race from playing any particular job (except for Elvaans and Black Mage). All players can excel at any job they so choose, provided they have the skill and the equipment; the race selection is mostly an aesthetic decision. Well - the choice of race is easy - pick what you enjoy most! Remember each race has strengths and weaknesses. Just a few examples: Elvaan have high strength and mind, but low accuracy; Mithra have good accuracy but lack in strength; Galka have great Strength and Vitality (their smallest weakness being an average agility); Tarutaru really lack strength but have a good Dexterity and Agility score; Hume have no real weakness but no real strength either. All can, and need to be, enhanced by the gear you use. (If you are playing an Elvaan, you will want to equip more gear that enhances accuracy, Mithra require more strength-enhancing gear, etc. Even Tarutaru can become good monks using the right gear.) Take your pick, play what you like!
