Dear Devs, please bring the Male and Female Xaela Au-Ra closer to this artwork

Not to be a downer, but the protruding horns seem like it will be impossible to put head equipment on. And as far as their other concept art goes (when they looked more dragonic) I noticed they looked a like like a beast tribe than a playable race. If anything, they looked like a combination of the Ixal and the Amalj'aa. Also, they were clearly dragons in the concept, but Square seemed to want to make the Au Ru more ambiguous between dragons and demons.

Imo, I think all the races in this game ARE humans or at least related somehow (that's why they look similar.) That's probably why they're called "Races," suggesting they are connected in some shape or form. If they were tribes like the beast tribes, there'd be more distinctions (noticed how vastly different the beast tribes are to each other?)

Well they can interbreed, so it's possible that they all share a common ancestor. (I know nothing on the lore btw, so apologies if I'm wrong)

While I never played 1.0, if I'm correct there was atleast one primal/beastman tribe (I want to say Ifrit, unless he was the only one...) that referred to the races as human. All of em. Now its just beings, but essentially the same thing. Doesn't necessarily mean Hyur were the first, but could point to having at one point being much more connected.
