WildwoodĮlezen Duskwight, Male & Female, Final Fantasy XIV RacesĬlan Description: Centuries ago, a number of Elezen sought out a life of peace and seclusion in the depths of Eorzea’s caves and caverns. The Wildwood Elezen took to the forests to protect their homeland, while the Duskwight Elezen withdrew to caves and subterrane, opting instead to avoid all contact with any but their own. Ultimately, the Elezen diverged into the two clans that exist today. Unfortunately, this belief made the eventual appearance of the Hyur in their multitudes akin to an invasion, and a long history of conflict ensued. Traditionally a nomadic people, the tall, slender Elezen believed the real to be theirs by divine right. Race Lore: In former times, the Elezen were the sole inhabitants of Eorzea, claiming dominion over her.
Starting Attributes: STR 23 / DEX 20 / VIT 22 / INT 18 / MND 20 Elezen Of late, Highlanders have become an increasingly rare sight in Eorzea, their number represented almost exclusively by those who fled Ala Mhigo after its fall and now work in the desert city-state of Ul’dah as mercenaries and sellswords. Compared to their Midland brethren, the Highlanders are noticeably larger in build. Their name derives from their long tradition of building strongholds in the mountains. Hyur Highlander, Male & Female, Final Fantasy XIV RacesĬlan Description: The Highlanders were the first of the Hyur to reach Eorzea. Their espousal of an eclectic variety of languages and traditions is a legacy of their diverse heritage – as is their resulting lack of a unified cultural identity. Hyurs are well suited for traveling long distances by foot, a trait thought to account for their swift proliferation. They exhibit a relatively modest physique, both in height and build, and are known for their peculiary short, rounded ears. Three great migratory waves later, they are now the most populous of all the civilized races. Race Lore: The Hyur are said to have first traveled to Eorzea from her surrounding continents and islands.
Last but not least, I have listed all deities in a similar way, so you can look them up without any hassle. The starting attributes for each clan are posted too, for those min-maxers out there (keep in mind that Deities also change your elemental resistances)! However if you are not one, don’t worry too much, as the difference are minor. To make your decisions easier – and my alt creation as well – in this guide you will find all the official in-game lore & descriptions for each race & clan, as well as high quality screenshots with the default models, so you can have a quick reference even when not in-game. Keep in mind also that you are not allowed to change your body at all (hope this is going to change “soon”, it’s a pity to not have any body sliders at this day & age), so each race – clan – gender option has its own unique body type & height. Your character’s race is the most important one as far as aesthetics go, since each FFXIV race has its own unique features, skin, body type etc. Creating your ideal character is not so easy in Final Fantasy XIV, since there are so many choices you have to take during character creation.
