i was thinking about the different races and thought maybe they could be playable people the dragonians ,the elves, or the humans and a subclass to give each a different advantage and disadvantage take for instance a dragonian warrior strong with melee but slightly slower mana gain, or mage class faster man gain but weaker melee. and then there is the balanced equal melee vs mana gain. the races will have there own advantiges the humans will be the balanced between accuracy/crit chance vs damage resilience, the dragonians will have a higher resistance to damage where as the elves will be more accuracy and chance for critical hit
ps the elves as i refered would be the sinra and others like it so if you think this might be doable let me know if you think it needs alittle change let me know its your game i was just throwing this out there. food for thought">
