How the AU Ra will "blend" in scenario?

Or they'll just ignore the issue like the culinarian level 50 quest. I don't think it's that game breaking anyway.

It's not game breaking ofc but the lvl 50 Cul quest was nothing in front of the appearance of the Au Ra. That's huge now. It's not just a subtle detail in a quest text line anymore for someone to not notice. If every time they put in game a new race or a new class will result in breaking the timeline and destroy main scenario's coherence then in 2 years the game will be completely broken from a storyline perspective.

Not really. The Jobs are easy to integrate with the game. As for the Au Ra, SE is just gonna add their race to the NPC's database and everyone is gonna act like Au Ra have been around since the beginning. As you Yugiri, they'll probably change a few words. Buuuuuuut the best CoA is to lock everyone from creating an Au Ra til they finish 2.55. It's really not out of the realm of possibility.

except at the nico nico thing they said on camera that you would be able to make an au ra right away.

Fun Fact: The game has made references to the Au Ri long before Yugiri made her big reveal at the end of the main scenario. One such reference is made on the Wind-up Odin minion description.

"Summon your wind-up Odin minion. Guaranteed not to wipe out your entire party in one fell stroke.
Many have pondered why a dark divinity with roots in northern mythology would wield a blade with a decidedly Far Eastern name. A popular theory is that Odin acquired the blade upon slaying an Auri warrior who was the first ever to notch his theretofore unsullied plate."

So just taking that little tidbit of folklore into account, in context to the universe, people are already aware of the existence of the Au Ra as a people.

As for the justification of a new player doing the main scenario for the first time, in context to the world you are an unknown adventure from a land far from Eorzea. Perhaps from a small Au Ran village far to the east? Fill in the blanks.
