[REQUEST] Can we have a more original race next time?

[Naraku_Diabolos]

Au Ra have Asian faces. My girlfriend, who is Vietnamese, agreed with me. She said that the Hyur look more like American/European. Even the faces for male Auri look Asian, too.

They... are... supposed... to... be... HUMANS.

ALL OF THEM.

ALL OF THE RACES.

ALL HUMANS!!

They're not bestial, they're human.

The game even references it at one point, but I can't even remember when...

But sorry, we're not going to be getting anything much more than humans because of the way they have to build/skin the armor for a specific body type.

AND IT'S ALL GOING TO BE HUMAN BODIES.

If you want to play something like a minotaur or whatever, go back to Warcraft.

all non lalas are overgrown mutated lalas

You can keep that little theory inside of that vegetable head, Potato.

Except they already have concept art for a more Demi human Aura and specifically said they went with the current design due to the fanbase probably not liking the older concepts. It's also already been stated but a good portion are fine with the humanoid body, just not completely the same as the other races with minor additions. If you do that go all the way but we already know this fanbase will find people with full scales/claws as ugly so that probably won't ever happen.

Well, there are a lot of Au Ra in Othard. And grats for having a Vietnamese girlfriend.

Concept art is not the same thing as what actually works.
That's why it's called concept art. Often what is portrayed in concept art is found to not actually be possible within the game's limitations, or there's no way to work with what's in the concept art in the game.
It's not just the "players wouldn't like the full monstrous look" but "the full monstrous look would take us another 3 months or more of development time."

I wouldn't be too upset if Viera were introduced...

I've seen this said a lot, but i've never seen a direct quote, a source, or anything. I've tried googling it and came up with nothing. I am really curious about this.

I dunno, the girl Au Ra just look ambiguously tweeny in their faces, like pretty darn similar to my younger sister, while the dude Au Ra look ambiguously tough guy in the face. I don't think they're suppose to look like any ethnicity specifically, just like the Hyurs are suppose to be pretty vague.
