I'm inclined to agree with Hik0. Logically, there must be more Storyline that we have not yet been exposed to. Especially when you consider how my last post ended, and pointed to the Lore Sub Forums . . .

I'm hoping for some pretty radical, world-shaping revelations in the final storyline quests that will so throughly mix things up in Ishgard that their very faith in the Dragonsong war is shaken. Shaken so thoroughly, that a culture known to so obsessed with hatred for anything dragon to have hunted a fish near to extinction simply for resembling a dragon will be willing to allow half-dragons to walk the streets of their capitol unmolested.
That may be hoping for a bit much, granted. I'll be satisfied if they provide even a half-assed reason why Au Ra aren't skewered on sight. Just as long as they don't simply ignore the problem, which I fear may be all-too likely to happen...
I like the fact we can make them more succubus/incubus like myself. Gives us a better sense of the level of customization we're getting.
It was mentioned earlier that most people in Ishgard will have a cold tone with the adventurers coming in, so it's unlikely we'll see much special dialogue for Auri players verses the other races.
On another note, Yugiri is supposed to reveal her full self during After the Fall Part 2, and I wonder if maybe her unstoppably good self and leadership amoung the Domans now building Mor Dhona as their home city has something to do with Ishgard lightening up on Auri people. I mean, they very obviously have good reasons to play nice with Mor Dhona, them being a literal fortress standing between them and a Garlean base and housing the Scions, so that may be a part of the reason why they turn a blind eye to Au Ra people walking around.
The demons and succubus in this game do have 'scales' in certain places, much like the Auri (though the demons are pretty much entirely scaly/boney). It would also make much more sense as to why Yugiri would hide her appearance, as the void sent demons are killed upon sight (for obvious reasons), whereas beastmen (if they're not tempered by their Primal) are allowed to live peacefully amongst the humans.
