I missed galka last time. Definitely playing a roegadyn this time. Pirating! YAR!

It's probably going to be like Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. Certain races gain boosts to certain builds while at the same time gender determines what parameters you lack in.
Take the "Imperial" race for example:
Male
+10 Personality
-10 Agility and Willpower
Female
+10 Personality
-10 Agility and Speed
Skills
+10 Mercantile, Speechcraft and Heavy Armor
+5 Blade, Blunt and Hand to Hand
I could see that happening here especially with that comment on gender.
tarus are too tall
Oh my.. Thanks Luciferu for the added info.
Looks like there is gonna be a lot of character blinking in the game. Unless of course, they learn from their mistake in FFXI. Changing jobs on the fly sounds hot though. This game is shaping up to be great. Can't wait for Gamescon so we can actually see some trailers of the game running. Part of me wants to believe that SE is fairly close at announcing a beta. Like 1-2 months close.
English isn't my native language so I might have made some mistakes in translating the info.
Concerning the new race, don't expect too much: there might not be any new race since miqo'te's males are extremely rare like in FFXI so they match up with roegadyn as a race couple.
First pic looks like a hat/berret/turban with two feathers and second one is a lalafell (about the same height) with a two-horned hat like the horned hat of SMN.
To sum-up, don't expect a new race or you might get disappointed.
EDIT: New images (had to store them on my ftp since hotlink is bad)

EDIT2:
It looks like they are the starting towns: they're the sando, bastok and windy of FFXIV.Originally Posted by luciferu
Got back home and added the JP page info and such to the ZAM article. Luciferu did a good job of getting it all translated here. Once the magazine hits I'll get some nice scans up etc.

Does not look like any of the 5 known races
Uh, all I see is the chick's ass. and the Roadagim(sp)'s legs...Perhaps I'm mistaken.
Seph >> That's hyuran male's shoulder, roegadyn's knee and hyuran female's nice and huge ass! I don't think I'm wrong since I draw myself.
But it's funny when you turn it, it looks like the fishman in The Last Remnant!
Elmer >> I'm counting on you for some quality scan so I can masturbate. (*'-')b
EDIT: Don't forget to see the new images of the cards and the amazing areas/zones on the 9th page. Post it on OP please.
All I see there is the obligatory panty shot.
What are you supposed to be pointing out there?
Besides the ass, which is obvious to a lecherous taru such as myself...
Could be a knee or an elbow or something, I thought it was the knee of the big Roggy guy.
#1 That was my point lol http://i26.tinypic.com/2zh1sme.jpg
#2 already did post everything in the op
You perverts ! i was pointing toward that ^ which look like a face/eyes/mouth/nose lol not the pants
No sorry, but this thing is directly connected to the humes assso I guess it's part of the dress or w/e
Thanks for the translations guys, all of a sudden I'm really excited for this game. It sounds like you are going to be able to change jobs on the fly, which will be really awesome. What's that? Your healer just D/C'd? good thing your thief brought their healing gear with him! It opens up alot of new possibilities for party composition. I totally feel like the "more solo content" is a pretty farce though. I think it will just be like FOV with players able to get XP solo, but not even come close to competing with partied players.
Well now that you mention it... If you look at it sideways if does kind of look like a Bengal from FFXII, but I still think its that Roegadyn's Captain Falcon-like knee or some piece of cloth hanging off from the panty shot Hyuran's clothes.
The Lalafell look just awful in that first screenshot.
I'll remain hopeful, though...
