I'm interested to see what this new race they've mentioned might bring to the table. The five races from FFXI cover all the bases fairly well. They already range from well-rounded to all the extremes, so I'm not sure what exactly a sixth race will offer. Although, if it's anything like FFXI, ultimately race will not matter except for certain circumstances (usually difficult endgame stuff), so perhaps it won't be so vastly different from something we already have.
