Why do Au Ra females have boobs?

I thought the Au Ra were created by Alexander's temporal paradox.

The Hotgo tribe was, not the race as a whole.

I know it's a stretch, but it's a perfect fit.

I'm aware of that, and it's strong evidence in favor of being related to dragons, since this is a fantasy game and those specific titles are too close to be insignificant. However, I reserve judgment until it's confirmed one way or the other.

I'm hoping we'll get some more Au Ra lore in the future Othard-based MSQ segments.

There's still a lot of things I'm curious about, like what caused the schism that led to the Xaela going from a united civilization to a fractured group of tribes and why the Raen abandoned the steppe in favor of lands further to the east.

I feel like they might just reserve it for the second edition of the lorebook, though, which is likely to offer more insight into the history of Othard and Gyr Abania.

I mean lore specifically states that they aren't related to dragons, but go off I guess.

Refresh my memory?

I'm curious about this answer too, although she might be referring to the incidents with the Xaela in Ishgard. Specifically that the Ishgardians thought that they were related to the dragons somehow, and massacred refugees attempting to flee there. This event is covered in both the Dark Knight and the White Mage Questlines. It would be silly if this show of intolerance was proved by the fact that the Au Ra were indeed related to the dragons.

Dark Knight and White Mage Heavensward questlines, the lore description in the race selector in the character creator, several dev comments on au ra concept art.
