So lightning gear only lvl 13?

I'm new to this game and have purchase the pre-order code. Just want to ask, I saw there is 5 races at character creation benchmark there?Different races will have different jobs or all the races have all the jobs?What is the different between the races?

here you can browse on this website to learn more about it http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/world/races enjoy!

Only differs in looks. and very very minor starting stats difference between each race. each race have 2 kinds, each kind also have minor stat difference. one race can learn all class/jobs.

i see..so just the outlook different and minor stats.The jobs is not effected an can be learned by any races?
From the website i saw 9 jobs

Yes, any race can learn any jobs.
Something have to correct you though, we call jobs being class. (Your starting city is determined by the starting class you choose in character creation)
To understand it more, you select a race to be your character, after you're done with customizing appearance, you'll need to select a "class".
There's 8 starting class that we know of now that will be available during game launch
- Lancer - Gladiator - Pugilist - Conjurer - Marauder - Thaumathurge - Archer - Arcanist

You can think "class" being basic start of job. These class can be further specialize when you met specific requirement and then become "Jobs" which is a soul crystal you equip in your character menu to change to that job.
As an example, Conjurer can be further specialize into White Mage job, by getting conjurer to lv30, arcanist to lv15. When you completed the quest, you'll be given White Mage soul crystal and when equiped you'll be a White Mage which has more specialize healing skills.

Below are something I may get it wrong since I read these from other post and not really experience them myself.
- Your White Mage level follow your Conjurer level ( since it's the main requirement class to unlock White Mage)
- When you level as WHM(acronym for white mage), let's say you've gain a level from lv30 WHM to lv31, your CNJ(conjurer) will also gain a level. Same when you gain a lvl from CNJ, WHM also gain a level.
- ACN(Arcanist) will branch out to SMN(Summoner) or SCH(Scholar), so by leveling either one of the class/job, all 3 have same levels.
