All the races have similar stats, the differences are very small, so pick the race for the looks and the class for the playstyle.

Overall, it seems you might like Lancer (Dragoon). Their armour looks great, they learn some Jump moves and their DPS is great. The good (or bad) thing is that you'll probably need to level some crossclasses to get skills useful to your main (for example, Archer gets some good crit skills that Lancer can benefit from), so you'll end up trying lots of them.

Check this video and see what's flashy enough for you:

They're changing around the core dependencies of the cross-class abilities. I believe LNC/DRG is getting reworked to pull from Maurader instead of Archer due to how crazy strong the Archer abilities were making Dragoons in Beta 2 and 3.

With that said though, it's hard to give you specifics when it comes to the diversity that will be available at launch. I would look at the overall style first as a priority. They summed them up pretty well so far, so give yourself kind of an overview and work down:

Arcanist < Summoner (DoT) pet class (Warlock from WoW), Scholar (HoT) pet class
Lancer < Dragoon (Solid Burst DPS, positional based)
Maurader < Warrior (Hybrid Tank/DPS) Solid AoE capability and sturdy to boot. Most HP.
Gladiator < Paladin (Tank) Extremely sturdy, high solo play capability, very pretty.
Pugilist < Monk (Stance dance class, high combo flow for sustained DPS)
Thaumaturge < Black Mage (Great DD, Strong AoE, interesting MP management system, Crowd Control capability)
Conjurer < White Mage (Healer, Buffer, surprisingly decent DPS)
Archer < Bard (Utility Buffer, solid DPS, heavily wanted in party play)

It's kind of simple, but really... there are enough images and aesthetics floating around to satisfy anything more complex you have. Such as the video linked above.

What's the best class for me?
