Au Ra Character Creation Feedback

[Lillia]

I wasn't too fond of some of the /chuckle either some don't even sound like chuckles but like my character is dying from coughs, it's not /laugh though but after seeing their /angry I'm honestly frighten to think of my Au'Ra laughing. lol.

I agree with the horns and the face as I think a few options would of looked nice if they were separate and not tied. Horns on hairstyle... I don't rp so I am a little biased on that because I am not too affected beyond the point of if I like it or not.

I also agree with the males having a few hairstyles looking meh on them, it could be that they are pretty amazing. o-o I fell in love with the males dance though, It is too funny It's like the running man mixed into dancing. xD

I'd love to see the horns be their own category and not tied to your face option.

I'm getting increasingly concerned the more I read these XD

I've seen some Au'Ra's that I've liked at this point and I still need to play with the creator after work, but if the emotes are as awkward as they've been implied I might be switching back to kitty fairly quickly afterwards.

Also it kinda feels like their scale coverage is similar to miqo'te face markings. From what I remember a miqo with more facial markings is considered "older" it's hard to tell from just these screenshots but it kinda feels like Au'Ra's follow a similar pattern for their scales.

My opinion is that it's not that the emotes are awkward... the voices used are. One chuckle sounds like a cough, another does /angry like they are trying to scream someones ears off... maybe the horns made the Au'Ra race tone deaf. :P

But the emotes themselves look great on both genders to me.

Edit: I think the biggest issue for most people (myself included) is/will be that the horns are tied to the face options.. so you can't exactly pick the face you want without having your 'ears' change along with it.

I've learnt to deal with that at least (the edit). Fem Miqo's have a similar problem with face type and facial markings imo.

The face type I picked (two markings on each cheek, two markings on forehead) has a noticeable smile when idle which I adore. I don't really like the forehead markings at all but I'll take it over the markless face which doesn't have that natural idle smile to me.

As for the voice/emotes that's pretty much what I mean. Every race I fantasia'd (or made an alt) to so far had several voices that don't match the emotes and some voices that were a perfect fit to their respective emotes. If I can't find a fitting voice for me it's gonna kill my desire to personally play one. But I'll settle my final judgement in 3.0 when I actually fantasia and get to play around with all the emotes.

Could always save the fantasia and use alts to test.

No they don't.

Max height is 158.5cm, min is 146cm for both Raen and Xaela females.
For guys it's 217cm max, 203cm min for both Raen and Xaela.

You can verify it for yourself in the character creator. lol

[MichiKyou]

I pretty much agree with everything in this thread.

But...

Pretty much is why I will never play a female Au Ra. I would feel like some sort of deviant. It just looks and feels wrong ><

Overall, I love the females (didn't check out any of the males). I love the size, faces, skin color choices, eye choices and the hairstyles.

However, I'm extremely disappointed that the horns are tied to the faces, that there are no length sliders for the horns, and that you cannot control the amount of scales on the body.

Nice thread, for me the biggest problem is the color of scales and no customization on face/horns.
They said that Au Ra will be more customizable, and they aren't.
