New Race Announced! The Au Ra

[jomoru]

They look to be on par height wise with Miqote, and the males on par with Highlander Hyurs. Frankly, this race is the closest thing to Padjal players will see and is probably why they went the horns route because I've seen many who have been interested in Padjal, but lore-wise that's impossible.

And just because they're from Othard now doesn't mean that the race did not originate in Ishgard with Shiva and Dragons, that was like a thousand years ago and with the predjudice who wouldn't hop the ocean?

Odin obtained his sword from an Au'ra. Odin is much older than Shiva.

Honestly...I would have preferred having different body types before a new race. :/
Also: "aura"? Really?

Rawr. I may actually switch back to male when this is introduced. They look fierce, kinda bestial. I like em. :3

I'm kinda disappointed with the females, though. Their non-human features are almost unnoticeable. :|

Just because Odin is older than Shiva doesn't mean that he has had his sword that long.

The difference in height between the sexes is veryvery jarring. Like they aren't even the same races at 1st glance.

Not a fan of the male's look thus far and the female seems like it'll have very girly animations ala midland females.

Guess we'll have to wait and see

AYE that too...it's like Elezen gets caught up with Miqo'te....seen a few fanarts, read a few fics....it's just....awkward much? Idek. @.@

Hrm. I have mixed feelings. On one hand, both males and females look quite good. On the other hand, I really dislike the large difference between the genders. It is like one person wanted to do a race with cool tough guys, and another person wanted to do a race with petite elegant girls, but they could only do one race so they combined them.

But I won't lie, I will definitely consider switching to one of the females. I love my Midlander, but it'd be nice to play something more exotic. It is hard to tell their height without any basis for comparison, but so far they look quite petite and lovely.

They also have height choices. I picked the tallest Miqote and notice I am a lot bigger then people who picked the shorter ones.
