Au Ra physiology and other lore.

[Peachy]

The Au Ra are based off a previous race it just isn't in any of the new game go back and look at some of the underground races in FFIV or there are more in FFVI also in FF Adventure 2 for classic game boy while it isn't exact it is close enough that it is not a leap to say they could be the same and given that they seem to want to tie all of the games together in one universe.

I have played all of those games and no, there is no Au Ra type race. You are thinking of Maduin from ff6 Im sure, he is an esper not a race. FF adventure 2 is not even a FF game. Its the very first mana game and it was released as a FF title in other regions to sell more copies.

The underground race in Final Fantasy IV are dwarves, and those are helmets we see. Also, FF Adventure 2 isn't a Final Fantasy game. That's a renamed Seiken Densetsu title. As for Final Fantasy VI, would you please be more specific?

Didn't keepers and seekers worship the sun and moon goddesses since before they came to Eorzea?

The only one I see is Terra's father ( which is an esper so it's not really a race )

They worship Menphina and Azeyma, who are the moon and sun goddesses respectively.

Pure speculation, but based on the hints we've been given and in-game characters, I'm assuming female Raen Auri names are going to follow a <Japanese name> <Nounverber> pattern.

It's stated they follow naming conventions similar to Doman names due to close relationships with them; the only major non-Auri Doman characters with full names so far are "Oboro Moonrise," "Tsubame Sunrise," and "Karasu Redbeak." "Yugiri Mistwalker" follows almost the exact pattern, except adding -er on the end (instead of "Yugiri Mistwalk").

Not sure if anyone else noticed this or what the naming conventions for male Raen Au Ra or how Xaela Auri names will be like at all, but I wanted to throw it out there.

[lilirulu]

It's a good guess though that naming scheme though modified to be <elezen/miqo'te/lalafell/roegadyn/hyur name><nounverber/title> is used a lot too. (i.e. Yabi Two-tails, V'kebbe the Stray, Avere Bravearm, Edda Pureheart) especially when the NPC's full name is only used in solo Duties like class/job quests.

I know that, but people are saying the Au Ra can't worship any of the Twelve if they're not native Eorzean, yet, the Miqote did just that...

[lilirulu]

Miqo'te have been in Eorzean for a few centuries. They most likely adopted the Eorzean pantheon at some point in their history. With Au Ra there is no history of them in Eorzea until very very recent history and come from a different country (or countries) under the rule of a dictatorship that iirc doesn't believe in any form of gods (and probably enforces said beliefs on the peoples under their control).

I was hoping male Au'ra were about as tall as male elezen :O in comparison to female Aura, male Aura look very tall (compared to male vs female hyur or miqote who appear to be about the same height no?). I'm thinking about switching to a male Aura, but only if they're mighty tall and aaaaanggrrrryyyyyy looking.
Also, they would fit my name, dragons and all :O
