Races

Miqo'te
The Miqo'te are a cat-like race from Eorzea in Final Fantasy XIV. They are similar in appearance to the Mithra of Final Fantasy XI, but unlike the Mithra, both male and female are available. Like the Hyur, the Miqo'te are an immigrant race; they are not originally native to the region.

Lalafell
The Lalafell are a race from the seas south of Eorzea in Final Fantasy XIV. They somewhat resemble the Tarutaru from Final Fantasy XI, but their bodies are taller, making them slightly closer in proportion to human toddlers, and do not necessarily need to have the Tarutaru's distinctive dark-colored noses. The race consists of the Plainsfolk, which live in thatched-roof homes and have great hearing, and the Dunesfolk who live in the desert and herd animals. Two of the most well known lalafells are Master and Onyx, the only twin brothers to ever exist in lalafell history.

Hyur
The Hyur are a race not originally from Eorzea in Final Fantasy XIV, having migrated there and brought their technology with them. They are very similar to Humans and the Humes of the Ivalice setting.

Roegadyn
The Roegadyn  are a race from the seas north of Eorzea in Final Fantasy XIV. They are similar to the Galka of Final Fantasy XI, but lack a tail, and do not look as ursine. Most of them are of the Sea Wolf family, and live by the sea as fishermen, although some become Mercenaries and/or Pirates. Another family, the Lohengarde, also known as the Hellsguard, live near a volcano believed to be the gate to hell, and use magic.

Elezen
The Elezen are a race from Eorzea in Final Fantasy XIV. They are the race that has lived in Eorzea the longest and co-exist peacefully with the other races. They are similar to the Elvaan of Final Fantasy XI. Among the Elezen, the Wildwood/Forester tribe live in the forest but also adapt to urban life, and are excellent archers due to their keen eyesight. The Duskwight/Shader Elezen live in caves, and see the Wildwood as traitors. Duskwight have excellent hearing and are skilled in hand-to-hand combat, and many act as thieves.

Padjal
The Padjal are mysterious, holy figures in Gridanian culture in Final Fantasy XIV. They are seemingly unaging children born rarely from certain Hyur bloodlines in the Twelveswood, although the exact age at which they "stop aging" varies, leading to some discrepancies in their "apparent" age; some (like E-Sumi-Yan or O-App-Pesi) forever appear like preteens, while Kan-E-Senna appears more as a "late teen" of sixteen or seventeen years of age. Their age shows in some ways, such as grayed hair or dull skin tones, but they retain their youthful shape until death.
