Put the Au Ra on hold.

So they basically look like humans or elves with horns. And the males are so much huger than the females too. UGLYYYYYYYYYY. Seriously, why do all FF14 playable races have to be so ugly? Can't they make at least one race that looks good?

They look nothing like humans or elves

Have you seen the face selection? Have you seen Elves walking like a stick and I actually like the dragon race looks and movement looks a bit better.

You don't have to be a AU RA I am though first alt character to look at it and then change.

I thought both the Hyur and Miqo'te looked good! So they must have gotten at least two races right

If you played Star Ocean 1...

you'll love the fox race.

Really?

Because Miqo'te, Hyur and Au Ra are totally ugly, right? lol

Put the Au Ra on hold and make a fox race instead. This alone would attract 5mil new subscribers.

On the other hand damn those male Au Ra's look good. Let the male Au Ra's come out, put the females on hold make a female only fox race. *nods*

I'll agree and disagree.
I'll agree that I'd make a fox alt character in a heartbeat, and pretty sure that would draw more players.
I'll disagree about putting the Au'Ra on hold - it's unique (to me, anyway). Not everyone may like the looks, but I don't often see too many dragony/serpenty/lizardy races in MMOs (though, when I do it's usually very Roe-like. Big and beefy. I'm digging the Au Ra's muscularity without big a giant ball of muscle meat)

I'll also disagree on making a female only fox race. Another MMO (I've honestly forgotten the name) did exactly this a while back and while I really wanted to like the MMO for including them, it was a huge turn off for me. It just made it seem like my options were rather limited - Either play a fox but unhappy that I'm forced to be the stereotypical cutesy mage fox girl in a little kimono (not a fan of playing femme characters), or not play that race at all (and then pine for that fluffy tail on a male character).
On the opposite end of the spectrum, I've seen male-only races that would have been awesome..... if they weren't all overly buff and squat while being huge (sorry, Roes!) that were tiger and lion-ish and etc. Wasn't too keen on that, either.

IE, I'm not a fan of the limiting overly-sexualized one-gendered race idea.
But I am a fan of the idea of a fox race :x
.....and that people can either make their cutesy, kimono-wearing mage fox-girl, or not.

....hmmm.... ninja fox-boy sounds fitting....

If this is what you're referring to, then I'd rather have my Au Ra. :3

Ah, I think this may have been the game I was thinking of xD;
(....and she kinda looks like a flying squirrel...)

You're right, I like your suggestions better

I kinda agree xD;
The way it looks like a horse's tail and hooves.....
Me thinks we have a tiny pony race, rather than a squirrel.....
