Au Ra Character Creation Feedback

[TouchandFeel]

Overall I like them and most likely will fantasia to the one I made in the benchmark.
My one main complaint, like many others, is the horn type being attached to face selection.
I can kind of get lumping stuff together for technical reasons but eh, I want different horns for the face I like. If not that at least a horn scale option. The horns that point more downwards have some clipping issues with gear and I wish I could scale down the horns to minimize or negate that.

I think the Au Ra are quite lovely...i do feel like a few others the horns should not be tied to the face you choose. I also like most of the hair but the horns on some of them doesn't do anything for me.

I think they got most of it correct i am not sure on the height yet..if i was to choose the tallest (female) would she still be quite small next to my Miqote.

Great selection on hair and eye skin colours but please change the Horns tied to a certain face...i like the one i made but would be nice to try the other shapes.

I can't seem to see it mentioned so... my complaint, not that I'm going to turn myself into some freak from another country entirely, is that the gator tail doesn't properly connect to the body (on women at least). It starts like all the other tails at this small point then curves out over the butt into a gator tail. That so looks like it'd snap right off after a jump from a tall height. Aside from that... it looks like a cop-out dragon race ala Bethesda.

As I've stated before. I am extremely disappointing with the horns being part of face customization rather than be separate! Please fix!!

Pretty sure that's the lighting. And "lustrous black" and "brilliant white" doesn't give much room for choice, imo. The way people are going on about wanting to "match" their horns with glamours is weird.

What bothers me is that the scales are not black on the female Au-Ra they are purplish blue. Yes they look more black in certain lighting, but if they look purple in bright light that means they are that color and it is just masked in darker lighting - the male scales look black in any light. Black and white can go with any color armor, purple does not.

What exactly do you think Yoshida is talking about when he says he is thankful to the players for their constant feedback? Feddback is to be given by a costumer to the service provider at any given time.

Well since this is bumped and I have been playing with this for a few days... My opinion will be more hefty concerning the males, but I do have some things to say about the females. Quite a few of these will echo sentiments in earlier posts. We can't have everything we want, but feedback is feedback. I like the race a lot still.

Overall
- The horns connected with the face was a disappointment. I was expecting horn customization rather than tail. If it's in for release, great, if not... it'll be male night elf eyebrows all over again for me.
- The colour of the scales for Raen weren't quite as bright as I imagined them being (especially for the males), and it would have been nice to change the shade in a set palette of white/cream and black/midnight colours for the sub races.
- Of the tails, the thick and flat one looks more like someone stuck a big flappy knife to their tailbone.
- Love the limbal ring option.
- I'm generally happy with the way the scales look.
- I don't mind the extra horns for the hairstyles, but I can see how they bother others.
- I can't give a solid opinion on the voices without hearing them in a combat setting, but I'm not too big on the female choices and some of the more prospective selections for males have me slightly concerned on what melee combat is going to bring.

Males
- The dance... I don't even know how to react to it, but I don't play games for the /dance.
- I wish the tails were longer.
- Their hair is superb, though I wish for a voluminous long hair option that doesn't look water drenched (and no stupid headband!).
- It's more the problem of how big the limbal ring is compared to the iris, but having the limbal ring option on pretty much reduces a lot of visibility for the colour of the iris in males more so than females.
- If I have one criticism for the scales, is that I wish the coverage was throughout the spine instead of skipping the shoulders.
- I love their figure, but... they could use a bit more cushion (I'm happy I'm not the only one that thought of this). I like my men to have a nice and shapely behind. ^_^

Females
- Without going on a giant tirade, I'm a bit disappointed that they don't have a more aggressive set of customizations. The furthest I could go from cute appearances is the creepy doll look, which wasn't very creepy in the first place. This is probably more of a criticism on the direction they took with the women.
- Their hairstyles when compared to the male selection feel lackluster.
- The skin variety feels lacking in relation to the males.

This feedback is more centered on females than males since I don't play male characters.

What I don't like:

-I don't like the huge height difference between males and females. I would have liked a higher height range for female Au Ra to help close the freakishly huge gap between men and women Au Ra. Female roegadyns are the only ones with a height slider of 1 foot. I would have liked to see that come back for female Au Ra so I could have a 5'7" gal. In general though, I don't like the huge height difference. Female Au Ra look like children standing next to their men and this disturbs me.

-Faces and horns being tied to each other.

-It can be hard to find limbal ring colors that don't clash together dramatically with the iris.

-Face paint should be layered under the scales, not over

Things I do like:

-Wide range of skin colors
-The animations
-The tails
-Ability to customize scales

Think that more towards gameplay, like X content is too hard or too easy. Drop rates are too low, housing cost too much or there no enough lots. Not a design of a character that set to go live in little over a month.
