Au Ra lacking?

[AeraLure]

There's incredible character customization on PSO2 for the PS4 and I am pretty sure it's not as demanding as FFXIV. Other games offer a lot more too, so I do admit being a little perplexed as to some of the limitations found in this game (in many areas). Character customization, inventory, glamour - these are things that should have the heaviest focus in an MMO as players spend so much time with them.

I made a post about character customization a while back, I went over each race and gender and what they had compared to each other in each face category.
You will notice female Au Ra is lacking greatly in almost everything. (for the males, Roegadyn is the most lacking) Compared them to Miqo'te you will see what I mean.

Female Au Ra VS Female Miqote
Jaw Selection:
Au Ra 3
Miqo'te 4

EyeShape Selections:
Au Ra 5
Miqo'te 6

Eyebrow Selections:
Au Ra 4
Miqo'te 5

Nose Selections:
Au Ra 5
Miqo'te 6

Tail Shape Selections:
Au Ra 4
Miqo'te 8


I think there is a limitation to how much they can add as far as individual parts (most things are linked to each other, such as ear Shape and Tail shape. Or Muscle Slider and Ear Size/Tail Size) This was probably why Au Ra Horns ended up linked to their faces, they just couldn't add anymore selections.

Personally, I'm not sure if PS3 Limitations or lack of resources are really the problem for adding things within those selections. Every Patch you see them adding more and more Hairstyle selections to the character creator but nothing else for races that need them. When you look at hairstyle selections there doesn't really seem to be a limit, this probably means they can add a lot more face types/ear shapes/tail shapes etc etc for all races.

Will we ever see them added? Probably not unless a lot of players want it. People normally want big things. For example if the devs were trying to figure out what to add for a future patch Hairstyles vs some new Noses/Jaws, Hairstyles would be the more popular Choice.

Personally, I would be fine with not foregoing a new race in 4.0 if we got a greatly expanded CC for the current races instead.

Nooooo, I find the male waist on Au Ra to be hawt.

Same! They're actually the only male character models I find attractive. I wish they had some more subdued horn options, though.

This would be incredibly welcome, actually, because more customizaiton would be great, but also because I feel like the au'ra weren't very well implemented into the world itself (many of WoW's new races over the years had the same problem), and I suspect any new races would also have that issue.

Yeah I wasn't sure if one had been made like this recently :P Sorry about that.

I was wondering about the hairstyles thing too!!! Like for real why does there seem to be limitless room for new hairstyles? Ugh. And another thing I noticed today that kinda bothers me besides the customization options is the poses. Like how (idk if all races are the same with poses) the poses seem to be gender locked. I want my DRK to be able to stand clutching it's sword in both hands in front of him with the point in the ground but NOOO only the girls get that cool pose. We guys have to hold ours on our shoulders like some kind of savage carrying a big stick. >_< But that's a whole other topic.

I wish they had done something in the MSQ about the introduction/retcon of the Au Ra into Eorzea. Instead everyone was shocked by Yugriri in 2.0 and the general population's reaction was only touched on the WHM and DRK quests.

I don't really like the horns males have access to, except these that I use on mine



Which is ironically one of the horns that a lot of people hate (because they don't like the face it's attached too >.<) But I love it <3

My Elezen and Aura are in my own canon, in a relationship *emotional*

I'd love to have more facial hair options for my male Miqo'te. But, alas, I'm chalking it up to a mix of technological limitations (PS3, low end PCs, game hardware) and budget limitations.
