Race Types

The races are the sentient humanoid species that inhabit Eorzea. At this time, there are five playable races in Final Fantasy XIV.

The races are similar to the races from Final Fantasy XI, however, some depth has been added. The plot even involves divided races, and thickens as the story develops. Who knows, perhaps we'll see a race or two added over the upcoming years.

Elezen (El-uh-zen)

Duskwight ElezenWildwood Elezen The Elezen are an elf-like race and the original inhabitants of Eorzea.

The Elezen 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. Both sexes of this race are playable.

Hyur (hee-oor)

Midlander HyurHighlander 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. Both sexes of the Midlander clan are playable and both sexes of the Highlander clan will be playable with "A Realm Reborn".

Lalafell (lah~lah~fell)

Plainsfolk LalafellDunesfolk Lalafel The Lalafell are a race of physically diminutive humanoids.

The Lalafell were originally a group of agriculturalists inhabiting the fertile islands of the south seas... 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. Both sexes of this race are playable.

Miqo'te (Mee-KO-tay)

Seekers of the Sun Miqo'teKeepers of the Moon 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. Both sexes of this race will be playable with "A Realm Reborn".

Roegadyn (ROO-guh-deen)

Sea Wolf RoegadynHellsguard Roegadyn The Roegadyn are a physically large and muscular race.

The Roegadyn 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.
