Well... quest text always has tiny differences from character to character. They'll point out your name, race and gender, and in some cases give you extra flavour text if you were part of 1.0.
Maybe they'll just add slightly different flavour text if you're an Au Ra. Maybe most of their presence will feel like when you're the outsider in Gridania. Most people were pretty hostile toward you upon your arrival, but after proving yourself they slowly came around.
So maybe they'll go through the exact same story questline, but people will be shits to them more because of their race. The Coerthas questline in particular would be painful.
The change wouldn't be GIGANTIC, but think of what your character would have gone through versus any other race. Think of the fuel it would add to your RP- constantly being treated bitterly when you're doing the EXACT same things to help Eorzea as the other Adventurers.
