Au Ra Character Creation Feedback

[Rhas]

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.

Sure they are. You can customize the eyes more. Even 1 item is more customizable last I checked ;P

But yeah I get what you are saying heheh

My overall impression is about the same as most other people have said. Took me a while to create both a male and female character I liked (well enough). I'll probably switch 2 of my alts to the new race because most of my alts still have 2 fantasia but as for any of my 3 'main' characters... I haven't decided yet.

SE would be better served if horns were their own selection. I also find that facial scales were a bit overdone, I would have preferred more of these as options in the scales section of creation . I dunno me personally I just don't like a bunch of shit covering my character's face. I think overall this race could be very aesthetically pleasing but the biggest complaint I have so far is they just seem too... busy.

Hairstyles are very good though and I have to wonder where this artistic aptitude was when creating the other hairstyles for all the other races. I also think general female facial structure makes them gorgeous but then there's all the extra crap.

The limbal rings are very nice for this race!!

Its the eye shape for the females I just cant like....nope, they are all bad

Played around with the character creation for a long time but eye shape is just not appealing enough, will definately make an alt character as Au Ra but not change out my main to one.

More hairstyles would have been nice and a LONG (I mean long!!) hairstyle should have been added imo.

Males are great , they have potential with the right tweaking, but I never play a male so didnt spend much time on them.

Females are "ok" (just no "wow" factor to them) appearance wise and males look vicious!
Overall I think they did a good job though!

I want horns to not be tied to faces please, that is my BIGGEST peeve with the Au Ra race and i've been excited about this since the day they were announced Q_Q;;;

I can understand scales being tied to faces, but please please pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease let us choose horns like we do Elzen or Lalafell ears.

Maybe it's just me, but the Au Ra feels like it has a more "blank" or vacant expression compared to the existing races... there's just something I can't put my finger on.
I'm also disappointed that the faces and horns are in the same selection set. There are horns that I don't want that are tied to faces that I do and there's nothing I can do about that. It's also weird that we can't color the scales.

I think overall, despite me wanting a new race for new emotes, I might just stick with my elezen...

Seems I'm not the only one who decided to turn their elezen in an Au Ra after image. I have the same issue as you. I love the first face, but I hate the horns on it. And I ended with the exact same face you have. I'll post my own elezen/au ra comparison once I'm home.

I am very disappointed in the females - they are far too cute and delicate looking for my tastes. The face is bland. They basically look like sweet young girls with an unfortunate skin condition

Yep.


Thats exactly how I feel. They are the Anime version of greyscale sufferers. (Game of thrones reference)

To be fair, its not 'more customisable' if they take away muscle slider and give you three faces which are all the same but with buffier lips.

I really like the pale skin colors that Xaela have access to, but the black scales are horrid in my opinion >.<

[DracotheDragon]

Face 4's face with face 1's horns OR ROIT >:O

[Saseal]

Male legs are to big, muscular. Waist is to skinny, thin. Makes your Au Ra look over weight when in armor.
.

The tiny waists and large thighs/outer thighs/hips are going to make me keep thinking the character is female when I party with one (despite knowing the femmes are tiny). >_> Like the Poetics gear option - it really really looks like a dress, on the males...
