    Here's the better argument with proof then: Go to New Race and near the bottom of the paragraph for Au Ra. It clearly says Auri.

    This one's a little special. Instead of just tacking an 'n' to the end of Ra, the term takes on a slight metamorphosis. Au Ra -> Auri (pronounced Ow-ree, rhymes with Maori). Example: "An Auri warrior can eat a whole turkey in a single sitting."
    It's adjectival, not plural.

    Moar Aurians! They are adorable and I look forward to seeing them more in the world. And as far as grammatical conventions go, I understood it as:

    He is an Au Ra.
    The Auri are a new race.
    The Aurian female dark knight stance is my favorite.

    It would be :

    He is an Au Ra.

    Man, the whole deal with Zantetsuken coming from an Au Ra is weird, like does that mean Odin was a person at a point in time, because isn't Zantetsuken the actual primal out of the two?

    in ff14:
    Zantetsukuen posseses someone and to be Odin, Odin is always someone else and the actual power/being a primal Comes from the sword

    That's why I mentioned grammatical conventions. I should have noted that I find it interesting that they chose to go a different path. Linguistically speaking it's odd. Guess that's what happens when I post while half asleep.
