Raen. Pretty much just cuz on my Au Ra the scales looked nicer with my darker skin tone. I prefer the white scales mostly too, though some people do look good with the black.

Both can look quite nice with the right skin/clothing/hair combination. I got one of each myself.
I prefer Xaela visually, though culturally I'm looking forward to meeting both on their home turf soon.
Lore wise, I find the Xaela more interesting. If the female Xaela horns and scales were black or purplish black instead of blue, maybe I would play one. But I really don't like the blue color of the scales, the female Raen scales have a prettier color.
It's the opposite for males though. On males I really like the Xaela scale color but not the Raen scales.
Raen! Glory to our Dawn Father!
The grey skin tone works better with bright scales. Less demonic, but more ghostly ^^. Xaelas dark scales are too dominant in my opinion. And i like the calm and solitude (non-nomadic) lifestyle of the Raen.
With Stormblood, i would like to see, if there are any cultural differences between Raen and Xaela ; )
Visually Xaela because they are way sexier and their scales works perfectly with every skin colour!!
On a lore note though I like the Raen, they are the "good" auri, they stopped being nomads and they are matriarchal if I don't remember it wrong.
I wouldn't go to the degree of removing Raen at all, when I tried making my character Au ra I made him Raen cause I think it's closer to my real life palette and all.
Xeala are dirty barbarians:P
No in all seriousness Raen interest me more for no other reason than. Plus I think Au Ra samurai and ninja are a bit cooler than Au Ra nomads. We actually have lot less info on the Raen than the Xeala so there is more to learn about them.they live in bubble towns under the water
I like both the Same TBH. It really depends on how skilled the Player is in creating a good looking character. I saw a lot Good looking Xaela but also a lot Good looking Raen. I dont care much for the scale Color :)
Raen on females and Xaela on males, because of the sclera. If females had the darker sclera as the males, then I would be for Xaela for both genders.
I'm a Xaela fan myself. Thanks to the dark horns, I can create a very demonic look. But at the same time, she'll look elegant. She's become my female race & clan of choice as a result because of how much of a twin personality she looks like she has. I must say though, the lore of Xaela matches me quite a lot, in terms of that they are always going somewhere else. While I'm not very barbaric IRL, I have a huge wanderlust. I'm constantly leaving my home city (though don't move away from said city, I'm not in a position where I can), and thus I feel I fit in with the Xaela better. I found I couldn't really identify with the Raen on a lore level.
