Let's see here..
I loathe playing humans in fantasy games, too.. Normal is guess, especially if I want to RP.
I rarely choose the Elven races because they're almost always the "pretty" race, which usually means that there's too many of them.
The bulky races (Galka/Roegadyn) sometimes have some interesting lore behind them.. Which in turn makes me want to play them.. In FFXIV I don't find that the case though.
The token small-guy.. I almost loathe this one as much as the human races. Often just as popular as the "pretty" races, this one is just.. It doesn't speak to me, whether it be, dwarf, halfling, gnome, tarutaru, lolafail etc.
I usually go for:
1. The race which I think has the most fascinating lore.
2. The most unique race, design-wise.
3. If all else fails.. I go with the Human race.
In FFXIV I've decided on Elezen, not sure on the clan yet.. But them being the original inhabitants of Eorzea and being split in two factions that basically accept and deny their new neighbours intrigues me, despite being used often.

There is perhaps no phenomenon which contains so much destructive feeling as moral indignation, which permits envy or to be acted out under the guise of virtue. - Erich Fromm
