Next expansion will more au ra NPCs?

Long ago I noticed.

First realm reborn came old races.

Then new expansion heavensward.
I'm surprised heavensward more elezens than other races. And RARE au ras.

I hoped new expansion more au ra get story and NPCs. Since I love this race.

Depending where the expasion will take place. On Ala Mhigo, the Hyur Highlander is the predominant race. THe Au Ra comes from Othar continent (Where Doma is it). Unless the expasion take place in Doma, I don't think we will see much more of them in 4.0. Heavnsward take place in Ishgard, and this is Elezen area, that's why there are a lot of Elezen. 4.0 seems to take place in Ala Mhigo, so, the Hyur highlander will be probably the ones we will see the most.

Supposedly, a lot of Hellsguard Roegadyn in Ala Mhigo too /crossesfingers

How about more male miqo first?

Though this patch added a few.
(Yeah I count...)

Ishghard is an elezen city :P mixed with some hyur (predominant race across Eorzea) , and of course some lalas an miqotes here and there , Au Ra are rare thats true

I think the game is currently oversaturated with Miqo'te enough.

I would like to see more Au Ra NPCs throughout the game mostly because their introduction to 3.0 was awful. It kind of made me hate the whole race of them because they just don't feel like they belong in the game at all.

1.) They were first introduced with Yugiri. We didn't see any other Au Ra.

2.) They immediately became playable without any real introduction.

It was like, here's one...Now they're freakin everywhere. I get they tried to use the refugee story...but it just doesn't work that well. I think that for the next new race, a slow gradual introduction is best. Don't just show us one. Show us several. Sprinkle them around the maps. Populate them a little bit. THEN make them playable. I'm not the only one that feels this way, but believe me when I say I am also fully aware that my opinion is not shared by the majority.

That's because Ishgard is an Elezen city.
But you don't see many Elezen in Dravania

While this is true, if you play the Dark Knight story past 50, you'll get a bit more discussion of the relations between Ishgard and Au Ra (hint: they aren't good). What's discussed in the DRK story is a halfway decent hand wave for why there aren't more Au Ra NPCs in Ishgard anyway, and Gridania has always been unwelcoming to outsiders, while Ul'dah and Limsa turned the refugees down. The only place I would really expect to see more Au Ra is in Mor Dhona, and in unassimilated areas like Tailfeather, Idyllshire, etc. I think they just added a couple Au Ra NPCs to Idyllshire and quests starting there this patch? Just like with male Miqo'te, they are trying to increase their presence in the game--it just takes a while to build up enough quests for them to seem like they're even on remotely equal footing with the other, more long-standing races.

Probably not in the next expansion, but I'm willing to bet we'll go to Othard soon enough and get bombarded with Au Ra in the future.

I'd also like to point out that though they are few, the quality of the Au Ra NPCs feels overall pretty high to me. I mean, we have the bae Sidurgu, what more do you want?

This is why I feel the Au Ra shouldn't even have been made playable yet. If they don't fit in at any of the city states, and they are just recently coming from their home continent, then I feel that allowing the players to have them and filling the game with PC AuRa was very premature. I haven't really gotten into the DRK quests yet. Hopefully the next race will not be introduced so suddenly. I tend to count the PC population as part of the world population like NPCs...I mean, we see them right? So instead of welcoming them into this world I share with them, it has caused me to see them as more of a pest. Othard would have been a much better time to make the AuRa playable.
