I do however think that you're wrong about magic being good - it's decent at best. Aside from the fact that all races are somewhat equal in it due to an excessively large mana pool being available, the only skills worth dirt are firebolt, lightning rod and the occasional snap cast...and blaze I guess for those who use it.
The rest are just..kinda there. They can't possibly match up to the rest in most situations because these afforementioned ones are allrounders with an insane amount of damage and utility...just like: BASH AND FH! Thing is though, while I think balancing skills within one talent is definitely necessary at some point, again, this is about a racial debate...and elves do need an edge here for sure, especially if lore IS taken into consideration.
I went human because I wanted to be a better gunner but I kinda regret that because honestly with elves having better magic and giants having better strength which one would actually be better ??? Idk fam you tell me ; - ;
PS: I believe gunner is balance between STR and INT but I don't think it really leans either way from my experience so please correct me if I'm wrong
Elves aren't better at magic though. As far as int goes, both humans and elves can hit the cap reasonably (though not quickly). If the cap were gone, humans would have the highest potential int. In terms of total int and str, humans are first, followed by giants, and then elves.
This..
They were SUPPOSED to be better in Magic but nope

If elves were so good at magic why are most of the spells we use created by humans? Heck most of the prominent magic users we've seen throughout the story have been humans.
As for that, that's probably because humans were the first race in this game. E.g when g1-3 came out, we had mages like mores, tarlach and so on.
Who cares about lores anyways. Elves already can have black hair and that was "against" the lore before.
Plus elves get more INT, MP and DEX, now I wonder why?
"Elves are a humanoid race with long, pointy ears native to the town of Filia in the Connous region of Iria. In general, this race has advantages in Magic and Archery, but disadvantages in Melee combat. Their specialized stats are Mana, Intelligence, and Dexterity."
Just wanted to say having an advantage in something doesn't automatically make you the "best" at it.

I just found it funny how humans were able to even contest which race was the best with archery even though lore wise elves should have beaten everyone by at least a mile.Making elves faster or making them turn into the best single-target DPS race wouldn't change the fact that they are still the weakest race.
We need to be equal to humans/giants in our OWN ways, by for example giving us exclusive archery/mage skills and buffs that can one up FH/Bash+enhacement/Dual Wield/2h+Shield.
