No Wai!! Didn't know ffxionline was through dreamhost all these years. We use Dreamhost for a couple of websites as well and they're always great on service.
I agree with all the people who said tarutaru, who are obviously right. The fact that we're also delicious is just further proof that Altana made us to be more pleasing in every possible way. Personally, I feel I am best served alive and uncooked, and nibbled on over a period of many years. :3
*Nibble* Mmmmmm, tastes like chocobo!
Anyways... If you want a race that won't have a problem no matter what job you take, use hume.
If you are a horny teenager who's into butts, use hume female or mithra.
If you like cute little things that run without knees to bend, choose taru. Male or female, there's really no difference.
If you want to just hit things, choose galka or elvaan.
If you want to hit things STRATEGICALLY (ie, with arrows or as a thief), choose mithra.
If you want to be a caster-class (white mage, black mage or red mage), choose tarutaru.
With all that said, if you don't know what the heck you want, just choose what looks best. I started as a warrior, went to Red mage, went to bard, went to ranger, went to black mage. I never have problems really, because I'm hume.
Greydaze, I'm not sure I agree with a few of your points, (re: casting and hitting things "strategically"), but it's probably not a debate worth getting into here.
It's a Japanese game...the races kinda mirror real races. They made themselves out to be the tarus, so the tarus will have the upper hand when you get to the top. Elvaan are European, Humes American, Mithra (because even the Japanese love their pRon), and then Galka, the enslaved group.
It's like, you can work for a Japanese corporation, and they will take good care of you, but if you're not Japanese, don't expect to run the company anytime soon. Er, ever.
Best race = the race most like you.
Best job = the job you like the best.
Best race/job = the one you think you are for a little while to get away from reality for a while.
I think the real life racial parallels are taking it a bit far, though I can't deny that Elvaan language and culture is based heavily on French and I suppose British.
According to the most recent census, Galka are more popular than Elvaan females, and there has been a significant rise in their numbers since the first census.
All Nations: Rank 10
Rise of the Zilart: Complete
Chains of Promathia: Complete 75 BRD/75 WHM/75 BLM/75 MNK/75 RDM/57 DRK/40 THF/39 WAR/37 NIN & SMN/All the rest < 37
Double Post Edited:
I think it's still fair to say that Galka is very low. They sport less than half as many numbers as any other race. True they only have one gender, but even taking that into account, every race/gender combination other than Elvaan F has at least 50% more members.
Not that I feel that any of that matters in the slightest.

lol, actually i've been doing that lately to keep people from getting sat on.
*sitting around, minding own business*
*elvaan sits on me*
Elvaan: lol, sat on the taru
/em starts to unbutton Elvaan's <body armor here> (alternatively, unlace, or unzip)
/em starts to slowly <lick/rub his small taru hands over> Elvaan's <adjective> <body/abs/muscles>.
Usually, by the time you get to this point, the elvaan is totally creeped out, and gets the hell off.
Although I did try that with someone who I had forgotten was gay..... ><
