Choosing your race has nothing to do with your starting city-state (which is actually chosen by your first class) as one might think. While there is a statistical difference between each of the races, it has been noted by Square Enix devs that the stat differences will make very little difference to your character at max level. Because of this, it may only be worthwhile choose your race based on stats for those "min / maxers" who want to eek every little stat bonus they possibly can out of their characters.

For example, you may choose the Elezen Duskwight for that high 23 Intelligence starting stat, which is 4 points above the Roegadyn Hellsguard that you were thinking of otherwise. I know many of you were in the beta with us this past weekend, but I thought it could be helpful to start a "Beginner's Guide" for FFXIV for all of our new and old players alike. If you have any suggestions or additional information, please feel free to send me a PM and we can add it to the guide as needed.
However, as you go beyond level 10 you start getting bonus stat points that you can apply to whatever stat you choose. Additionally, your character will automatically gain stat points depending on which class you are playing. By the time you hit level 20 on a Thaumaturge, your Intelligence stat will likely be somewhere around 75. The difference in DPS between a 75 and 71 is minimal at best, and that's only at level 20. By level 50 the difference is going to be nearly invisible. Take into consideration where you end up using your bonus points as you level, and that makes the difference even less. If you are not good at leveling your account, you can make a purchase of ffxiv powerleveling on our website, we will do for you.
