If you choose the Hume, Elvaan, or Tarutaru race for your character, you will be allowed to select a gender as well. Once you make your choice and begin the game, your character cannot be changed. &style=spacer01;　&style; 　When creating a character, don't forget to take each race's strengths and weaknesses into consideration. &pre=01;The Humes ♂・♀ &style=spacer01;　&style; &style=Tk14w_2;The most common of the five races, Humes have spread from Bastok to inhabit every corner of Vana'diel. In comparison to the other races, Humes are fairly balanced in their abilities. They are intelligent and highly skilled. This combination of traits has allowed them to build Bastok into a prosperous nation driven by technology and industry.&style; &pre=01;The Elvaan ♂・♀ &style=spacer01;　&style; &style=Tk14w_4;A race of proud warriors from the nation of San d'Oria famous for their two legendary orders of knights. The Elvaan are characterized by their tall, slender bodies and pointed ears. Their unshakable pride and faith in their beliefs is evident in each of their intrepid faces. Both males and female Elvaan excel at swordfighting. Most Elvaan seem to eschew the business world, preferring an austere lifestyle as a skilled swordsman.&style; &pre=01;The Tarutaru ♂・♀ &style=spacer01;　&style; &style=Tk14w_4;Windurst serves as the homeland for the Tarutaru. Although they resemble children, don't underestimate their strength. Long known as masters of the magical arts, they have honed their abilities through dutiful study of the world around them. Their dedication and effort resulted in the rapid reconstruction of Windurst after the town was destroyed twenty years ago. The Tarutaru enjoy a warm relationship with the Mithra, who call Windurst their home as well.&style; &pre=01;The Mithra ♀ &style=spacer01;　&style; &style=Tk14w_4;A race of genius hunters who live alongside the Tarutaru in Windurst. Their large ears give them spectacular hearing ability, and their long tails result in an unparalleled sense of balance. They are known for their energy, curiosity, and their penchant for causing playful mischief. The Mithra enjoy a friendly relationship with the Tarutaru. The mutual abilities and cooperation between the two races has made Windurst a nation of peace and prosperity.&style; &pre=01;The Galka ♂ &style=spacer01;　&style; &style=Tk14w_4;The Galka once lived in the Altepa desert, but their homeland fell to an attack of the beastmen some six hundred years ago. The remaining Galka spread across the world, and many of them settled in Bastok. The sheer strength of their physique is second to none. They have used their skills to contribute to the construction and development of the numerous mines in Bastok. It appears that some Galka distrust members of the Hume race. &style; &pre=01;&style=Tk15w_3;&image=no02;Selecting a facial type&style; &style=spacer01;　&style; 　Each race has eight facial types.

A portion of the capital is occupied by the Mithra, who are longtime friends and associates of the Tarutaru. The Mithra, an all-female race of superb hunters, have deeply contributed to the success of the Federation of Windurst. &pre=01; Players who take character race into consideration when choosing a starting nation may receive a pleasant surprise.
