We've got a lot of tidbits of xaela culture already. But hey let's make the Auri women even more of a Miqo'te with that.

Im switching from Male to Female.. The Angry face and the Running animation realy anoys me. It looks like he is running full speed but being hold back. ... bugs me to the point that i will change.. :(
This is exactly why I ended up keeping my femroe, despite how awesome it would be to be a demoness. I don't know why SE insists on these cute little monster girls, but this whole xpac in general is so male-centric as it is I don't think we can ever hope for equal representation at all, much less in our avatars.
Simply put, they made it that way because that's what people want to play. If you look at the distribution before Au Ra, female Roegadyn were one of the least played character race/gender combinations and female Miqo'te (and female Hyur for that matter) was one of the most common. SE came to the conclusion that large buff women aren't what the playerbase in general wants and tiny cute waifu material is. It has nothing to do with being "male-centric". There are plenty of females that like having a small cute female avatar. I have to admit I was a little disappointed in the "cute monster girl" Au Ra, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to go all tumblr social justice on the place.
Man, those male Au ra look so cute and small right? Not like this is a thread started because someone thought they look so grumpy and mean all the time. You don't solve the problem or "no one plays the one with big and tough girl race" with adding more cute and small girls, if anything is just makes the problem worse. Besides by "male centric" I think they meant that the men of the new race are far more unique than the girls. The men have more scales (absolutely 0 scales on the girls back iirc), larger horns, a more unique height range (bridging the gap between Elezen and roegadyn men as opposed to the girls 1 inch shorter than the Miqo'te), more unique body shape (the massive shoulders with the thin waist and thicker hips and thighs), the scales help shape the face more on the men (looking specifically at the chin crests) while on the girls most facial scales are removable, et cetera.
Legit! This is my biggest gripe wih my Au Ra.
Running animation is herp derp ert berst.
I didn' care fo the hair selections. I would kill for my Roegadn's fohawk but it's simply not an option.
I don't like the standing still default pose, feet together, like a NIN. my roe War didn't stand like that. /changepose is good though, which I would be using anyway so not a big deal.
I actually don't mind the running animation for males, I quite like it. I also like their sprint. >.> To each their own of course. ^_^ Not too big on their default standing pose though, but we are lucky to be able to change that.
