Heavensward Race Survey (from reddit)

[Findel]

I hate that I'm such a minority before and even worse AFTER!

Same boat as you Arixtotle. I loved my femroe but what drove me from her was how hard it was to get her to look decent in armor. The male Au'Ra looks amazing and better fits me personally. (ladies are too danty for my taste)

Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed aswell that the female Aura are so tiny and lack Oomph! I thought the females were going to be tall as well, but from the character creation alone they don't look fierce enough to me :/ Also I'm not a fan of their passive look, like they just woke up from getting punched in the face too often. The male ones though look very good, all of them. I'm just wondering how the male ones will look as healers. I main warrior as well as whm so that I will walk the paths of both dark knight and astrololo is a given, just not sure if I can give up my current character which I love and also... Elezen represeeeent :x

Hrm, Personally changing to anything else this late in the game would feel nothing but odd... I could use an eye color change tho.

The only thing that male Auri beat my Miqo'te in was that they can get an actual Sonic hairstyle for a legit Gotta-Go-Fast speedrun. But sadly, I also like my current hairstyle and Auri can't get it.

Also don't like the idea of having a 2 meters height minimum :/
And the horns aren't very appealing to me...

I will definitely get a female Au ra as my retainer tho :U!

In all honesty, i am happy they don't. Roe & Elezen are so weird and butt ugly, i don't get why people even play as them. ROE have no good looking face or skin colour, barely look good in anything beside certain gear. As for elezen, their posture is so bad, it would be as if they have spine problem, hair style is horrible and badly match anything, same goes for ROE.

Personally I do like my femroe. I've been told that I was able to create one of the rare "pretty" femroes though.... I actually greatly dislike the Au'Ra females. Probably just as much as you dislike Roes and Elezens. To me they have no good looking faces and are far, far too "cutesy" to me.

I'm keeping my main a miqo miqopermanently. :C Something about a short cCatgirl tanking bahamut makes me grin! Alts gonna be a fem au ra though. I like the hips. :X

Ouch, very hurtful. I've been told my FemRoe is unique and quite pretty


Anyway, to be in topic now. I'll continue to be a Roegadyn. There are far too few of us in this game. Sad to see that a few are going to be switching. I'm going to be making an alt of mine an Au'Ra though. One less Miqo'te is a good thing.

[Adire]

This survey is reinforcing my need to stay Hyur.

I don't want to be yet another drop in the bucket of the dragon zerg.

You are beautiful! As are many other Roes I've seen. Some people just have very narrow definitions of beauty.

[KaijinRhada]

I'll probably end up switching between my Miqo'te and future Au Ra looks, and if there was an option on the survey to reflect that... I just want to have both at the same time, but not via alts as they don't feel quite as... necessary (maybe not the right word?) here as they do in other games. I absolutely adore male Miqo'te and their playful mannerisms, but I also love male Au Ra; their hourglass shaped figure with broad shoulders and a lean athletic build brings me back to mind of night elves in terms of build and height >_> (I miss my boys). I will however be sorely missing my Miqo'te's voice, it was pretty hard finding one that I liked.

The disappointment in Au Ra for me rests in the females. Their choices I find are bland and it makes me sad that I can't make a more aggressive looking one. On the flipside, the male Au Ra do have the problem of RBF, especially face two with it's giant scowl and brow ridge.

P.S. Love Roegadyn and Elezen.

I may have a bunch of Fantasia's lying around in my retainer, but I don't plan to switch. I might fiddle around with the Au Ra character customization a bit more to see if I can create something I like, but otherwise, I'm staying a Highlander.
