It is not unusual for a Final Fantasy XIV player to dedicate hours to messing around with the character creator before starting actually starting the game. Since the Shadowbringers expansion came out, Final Fantasy XIV has offered a selection of eight playable races. Truthfully though, it is more like 16 separate options, as each one is divided into two clans with minor differences in their designs. Players are spoiled for choice.
If a Final Fantasy XIV user cannot decide what race to play as, why not leave it to their zodiac sign? This can also be done for other MMOs like World of Warcraft.
12 Aries: Hellsguard Roegadyn
Born from March 21 to April 19, Aries are known to be optimistic and active people. They enjoy physical challenges, comfortable clothes, and are talented at multitasking.
A Roegadyn suits Aries due to their muscular build. Specifically, the Hellsguard are the best pick for an Aries as they are common people of the mercenary trade. An Aries would value the hard work involved with a mercenary-style life. Not only that, but they would be quite good at it due to their natural talents with leadership roles and confidence.
11 Taurus: Rava Viera
Symbolized by a bull, Tauruses are born from April 10 to May 20. Like a bull, they are known to be stubborn. They are devoted people with a strong sense of inner stability. However, they dislike sudden change.
Viera are rabbit-like people who are also stubborn. They shun contact with the outside world unless it is to protect the forest. In fact, few ever leave the forest. The Rava are especially stubborn. The Dalmascans have tried to conquer the Rava but they have defended with unexpected ferocity.
10 Gemini: Plainsfolk Lalafell
Geminis are born between May 21 and June 20. They are known to be quite chatty and enjoy music, books, and taking little trips now and then. They are also quite adaptable and can quickly digest new ideas.
For Gemini, a Plainsfolk Lalafell should be a good fit. Like Gemini, the Plainsfolk are quite adaptable and can be found mostly in the seafaring area of Limsa Lominsa. The general view of them is that they are laid-back people with a penchant for conversation.
9 Cancer: Sea Wolf Roegadyn
Born from June 21 to July 22, Cancers are highly imaginative, loyal, and tenacious people. The element of Cancer is water, and like many who are connected to the water element, Cancers can be sensitive and emotional people.
Roegadyn Sea Wolves are very connected to the element of water as well. Most of their population is made up of pirates, fishermen, and sailors. Like Cancers, they can have quick tempers but usually are open-minded folk that can be heard laughing in the local alehouses.
8 Leo: Wildwood Elezen
Symbolized by a lion, Leos are born from July 23 to August 22. They are known to be warm-hearted, creative, and dramatic. They have a taste for the finer things and probably can spot themselves craving the more expensive objects in life.
For them, they may enjoy playing a Wildwood Elezen. They are masters of song, poetry, and are pioneers of Eorzean fashion. They are also expressive and graceful.
7 Virgo: Veena Viera
Virgos are born between August 23 and September 22. They are practical and hardworking people with a love of animals, nature, and cleanliness. With an eye for detail, they are one of the more careful zodiac signs.
This sign has Viera written all over it due to their bond with the natural world. Like Taurus, a Virgo’s element is also Earth. The Veena are not so different from Rava, but they come from the foothills of the Skatay Range rather than the jungle. They are a little less stubborn and more willing to leave their mountain homes to explore Eorzea.
6 Libra: Keeper Of The Moon Miqo’te
Born from September 23 to October 22, Libras value sharing, the outdoors, and cooperation. They enjoy harmony and dislike violence and injustice.
The Miqo’te clan called Keepers of the Moon are known for their tight-knit communities in Gridania. They conceal themselves in the dark a lot, something a Virgo can appreciate since they like to avoid confrontations.
5 Scorpio: Xaela Au Ra
Symbolized by a scorpion, Scorpios are those born from October 23 to November 21. They are passionate people who can be counted on for bravery and resourcefulness. However, they can also be secretive, distrusting, and somewhat violent.
The culture of the Xaela Au Ra is perfect for Scorpios. These Au Ra value passion and competition while also distrusting most people outside their communities.
4 Sagittarius: The Lost Hrothgar
Sagittariuses are born from November 22 to December 21. They value freedom, travel, and philosophy. They hate to be trapped in a place or stuck with a clingy person.
The Lost clan of the Hrothgar live a nomadic lifestyle and are not bound to a monarch like others of their race. They also take up jobs that require a life of freedom, such as seasonal labor, mercenary, and peddler.
3 Capricorn: Highlander Hyur
Born between December 22 and January 19, Capricorns are lovers of tradition. They enjoy family, music, and status. Their talents include self-control, discipline, and being responsible.
Highlander Hyur, the founders of Ala Mihgo, are similar people. They are most known for the Monk class, which is recognized for needing self-control and discipline. Highlanders also have many cultural traditions they like to keep, such as tattoos and talismans.
2 Aquarius: Midlander Hyur
Aquarians are born from January 20 to February 18. They are progressive people who enjoy fighting for causes, listening to others, and having intellectual chats. They hate being lonely, which is a struggle since they can be somewhat timid.
Midlander Hyurs are like Aquarians because they can blend into many different traditions around Eorzea. Not only can they settle easily with others, but they can refine any new knowledge that they acquire.
1 Pisces: Dunesfolk Lalafell
Born from February 19 to March 20, Pisces are known to be artistic, wise, and musical people. They enjoy spiritual themes, romance, and do not mind being alone.
The Dunesfolk Lalafell are known to typically be gentle introverts that enjoy divination, books, and business. They are blessed with an aptitude for magic, giving them a talent for Black Magic.
