Going over the classes, it says for different classes that some races are better than others, like races closes to nature are better for rangers, is this just role-playing or are the other races not written done not available for this class.

A little bit of both. Roleplaying wise, they generally are better for the purposes of the world. This also manifests itself in stats, as some are more suited to the different classes. For example, Kagonesti elves have bonuses to Dex and penalties to Int and Cha (Dex is good for rangers who usually have light armor, wheras Int and Cha are not needed as much). They also have Elvensight, proficiency with some ranger-esque weapons, and bonuses to K-Nature and Survival. This is why their favored class is Ranger.

Any race can be just as good as any other race in any class eventually, but for the most part, a lot of races are better suited to classes because of their adjustments.
