So it just depends on whether or not they're defined as proper nouns, then? That makes sense. Not all games/series define the names of their races as proper nouns, I guess is the thing?
The different races/ethnicities/etc of humans are proper nouns (or at least their proper terms are, but not general terms like black or white), but the word human itself is not, was the argument (edit: well that's not the word for it, I'm not trying to argue it's correct not to capitalize FFXIV's races) observation I was making. But it all does come down to the individual source lore, I guess.
