There are 5 different races in the world of Ivalice, all having different pros and cons. Teach them the right way for getting the best out of them.
| Humans |
| Humans are the most common race in Ivalice and are fun to develop because of their many talents and easily manipulated stats. However, because of this they do not have one thing that there extremely good at. They have the widest range of jobs to choose from. Due to their many talents, they have the most jobs to start off with as well. |

| Moogles |
| Moogles are cute, clever, curious and mischievous folks with high dexterity. Moogles delight in surprising humans and their jobs highlight their special talents. They are known well throughout the Final Fantasy series for the fact that when they speak they say "Kupo" (usually at the end of a sentence) and for having a pompom. |
| Status Magic, Defenses |

| Bangaa |
| Bangaas are a rough, tough, short-tempered and battle-loving race that happens to look like lizards though they absolutely detest being called one (if you do, you'll experience the same luck Marche did when he first got into Ivalice). They are the most physically powerful race in the game so if you need someone to do some major combat damage- look no further. Of course, as you might have expected due to all the strength they have, their magic is poor. They always lengthen a's when they talk- just like what a lizard sounds like. |

| Viera |
| Vieras, who can only be played as women in the game are referred to many players of the game as bunny girls. Their hearing is supposedly so advanced that they can talk to the spirit world. Their jobs highlight their high speed and spiritual adeptness. They are the only ones able to be summoners. |

| Nu Mous |
| It is said that Nu Mous are the most respected race of Ivalice as the most adept wielders of magic. Apparently they can sense the flow of power and read it's signs. Obviously magic is their strength - therefore, it is logical to think that their combat skills aren't that good (think the opposite of the Bangaa). Their jobs focus on magical arts. |

Note:
Some people will request to join your clan, and depending on what their job is, what you should teach them is different than what you would normally teach another member of that species. For instance, if a Bangaa bishop requests to join your clan and you do take him in, make him magical as much a possible because making him do physical things is like making a Nu Mou do physical things.
