Should i become a Au ra female?

Howdy,
I’m leveling a female roe dragoon but I’m thinking of getting a fantisa to become a au ra. The problem is I’m used to playing big muscle characters but I’m tempted to race change. Can a female au ra give a awesome look look on a dragoon or dark knight. Also I love to add goth style to my characters.

Yes, you should - They can definitely still look awesome on DRG and DRK. But that depends on the glamour

But you should totally become a female au ra. I am definitely not biased or anything.

If spending a few bucks on this isn't an issue for you, there is no reason not to, worst case scenario you'll buy another one.

Also fem Au'ra masterace.

Ok. The only thing that was holding me back was clipping helmets.
Please don’t think low of me. I have a bit of ocd from wow about that. But I want to give it a try.

Horns/tails can and will clip with armour/clothes.
If you like buff and expressive characters, i don't recommend switching to Au ra, because they're smoll and reserved.

That is an entirely subjective question that only you can answer.

Personally female Au Ra is my least liked race by far for a variety of reasons and I don't think they look good in much of anything, but they're incredibly popular so obviously a lot of people disagree with that opinion. The only way to find out the answer for yourself is to buy a fanta or make an alt and give them a try! :)

You never know what you'll end up clicking with. I always wrote off thighlanders as more boring humans until I yolo fanta'd to one for laughs, been one ever since.

Don't do it. You'll start getting solicited by degenerate lalafell players. I am not even joking.

Do it. We look good in everything.

Why give up being a muscle mommy? Do not waiver sister!!!

If you want to look good in DRG gear, I recommend Elezen. It was practically designed for them. Personally, I don't like female Au Ra at all, but if you do, that's your prerogative I guess. It will be a sad day for Eorzea to lose one of its rare Roegadames, though.

As someone who is super into AuRa women...no. Don't change. Au Ra women are a dime a dozen. I think you'll stand out more not being the same as a majority of others.

Mao also nots biased. Dragon-Kin best! Plus, is plenty tasty Bunnys around for snackings on!

Someone didn't read the FFXIV lore before making their RP character. RP as whatever you want idc, but Au Ra aren't dragons lmao

Just ignore the "no fun" squad. You keep doing you Mao! People enjoy having you around way more than them.

Stay a Roegadame. If you're into big muscle characters (you have great taste btw), you obviously won't be getting that in the slightest with female Au Ra.

If he really wants nothing to do with us, he sure knows how to make sure that doesn't happen. I don't want anything to do with him either but he gets inserting himself into things that involve the people he's 'blocked', and then whining when people mention him. I wish I didn't have to see his comments through replies but ublock is too much of a nuclear option for me to continue using. I don't want to lose access to an entire thread just because a specific person was the last one to comment in it.

JFC, let people enjoy things.

Statwise Xaela Au Ra have the best race bonuses for anything melee. Tied with Hrothgar
Is it a relevant number at all? Not really but the bonus hp has saved me more than once.

If you value this minuscule advantage then yes its a good choice.

Xaela and highlander have the same stats, but int/mnd reversed. Not that it matters. (Edit: I think hrothgar have 1 more vitality, but I’m not certain and you have to play hrothgar)
I’m going to recommend lalafell as the obvious choice, even with the weird ear armour on some helmets.

Just a heads up, if you go Raen (light scales) and try to wear a helmet, you'll have big white horns jutting out from your generally dark helmet and it looks awkward. Xaela (dark scales) tend to look better for this imo. Just noting it since you mentioned liking jobs that usually wear helmets. There's a helmet I really would love to wear, but my big white fish fins jut out of it and it looks pretty terrible.
Either way, maybe make an alt and run around as an au ra to see if you actually like it before you change your whole look with the one (1) free fanta and then decide you hate it and have to spend money to change back.
Also obligatory "fantas should just be free since this is a subscription mmo and changing some pixels costs the company nothing" post.

All races look good on all jobs. However, there are some that look better in some. Female Au Ra look best in both DRK and DRG in my opinion, especially Xaela
You get a free fantasia after finishing ARR, so you can buy one, and use the free one to swap out if you don't like Au Ra.

Get ready for some major visual adjustments, going from the biggest female model to the second smallest.

I mean, you're right, but at the same time female Roegadyn are somewhat protected by their reputation for having dangly parts downstairs. It by no means serves to keep all the degenerate potatoes away, but it does at least filter some of them out.

For the edification of new people that might be raising an eyebrow at this: I am being completely serious. This looks like a meme, but it's not. ... Okay, it's also a meme, but not all memes are lacking a foothold in reality.

I go back and forth between au ra and thighlander, and I love au ra because:
- I use the fat tail, and it looks nice with certain armor pieces that add tail armor (radiant's fending and maiming sets, pteroslaver set etc)
- Tail animations are really cute
- I personally like the emotes. They're more reserved, but have a lot of personality
- Looks good in most things. Although some bulkier armor sets swamp my character's body, so I don't use them. Also anything that removes the tail will look bizarre, because of the way we run as though counterbalanced by a tail
- I just really like the face/horns I use
- scale patterns on the legs/arms/back are neat
- Most natural-looking neutral stance imo. The only thing that really bugs me about thighlander is the way she clenches her fists like she's about to throw a punch in cutscenes

You're a fem roe, why would you want to downgrade like that?

Also, elezen look best in drg gear anyway.
