I do wish the Xaela were a little different from the Raen.

[Roda]

It would have been neat if Xeala were more fearsome, or even had different emotes than Raen.

actually now that I think about it... I wonder if these concepts will become the 3rd Au Ra Clans that Koji Fox was talking about

Oh my heart.
Oh what we could've had.
Oh..






And honestly, instead of blanket changing the whole race, they could just introduce build types, and keep the current ones. Giving the Xaela the current waifu body and then 3 larger more violent options, whwile the Raen get to keep their waifu bodies and get 2 other waifu variants with 1 larger one. (same for the males ofc)

Concept Art did though. Also the reveal of Dark Knight had completely different animations and graphics to it. A lot of them were removed and replaced with like the .. red cloud of hurts my eyes.

A lot of all of this problem though could be solved with customizable animations like voices at start. Pick what your race 'can' be.

The concept art was released a few months after reveal, I think.

I'm not really opposed on making Xaela reflect their clan's description from their appearance but just replacing the current appearance is just a no. Might as well give an option to pick another body type (which I should've just mentioned earlier, whoops!)

Eh, a texture slider with more scales and muscle slider would look fine and not be too much work. Also adding the darker eyes like the males get to females. ((I believe fully in equality when it comes to character customization.))

Animation options for all races. Just adding 'two' for each race would be fine. Xaela can have like "Honorable" (same anims as now.) or "Brute" (other races mixed anims.)

That would be my way of doing it, because it would be less work and cost little memory since the files are already in the game.

I just wish they'd just update the texture to a higher quality because their scale textures are just atrocious (more obvious on Raen) and the extra scales you can add are obviously high-res than the ones you can't, which is pretty sad. Also, Muscle sliders for everyone! Except Lalafell

That's a good way to solve the animation problem people have. Especially that I hate the male Au Ra run so bad that when I changed into one, it didn't even last a week. I'd like to see an animation option where they run normally.
I wouldn't mind bringing back the 1.0 animations for some of the races since I've seen people say they were much better. Hopefully we see all of that soon.

I see complaints of Xaela being cutesy and it all being based on the character creation description alone. Have you not seen the info of all the Xaela tribes? Not all Xaelas follow the 'warring for generations' thing. Alot of the tribes allow very easily how they are in the game.

Edit: There is even a tribe where they communicate through songs, adding tunes to their words no matter what. Really tough warring hunter stuff.

Also, Raen aren't Japanese based and Xaela Mongolian, ONLY their names are. Their nature and culture are not.

Auri creation myth tells of a Dawn Father and a Dusk Mother from whom all Au Ra are descended. The Raen believe their veins to run thick with the blood of the former─their brilliant white scales and iron wills serving as proof of this divine lineage.
Unlike their sister clan, the Xaela, who bloody the land with their endless tribal conflict, the Raen have embraced a life of tranquility and solitude, long abandoning the nomadic lifestyle of their ancestors to settle the deep valleys of Othard's mountainous eastern reaches. Only on rare occasions will one emerge from the valley mists to seek adventure in realms afar.

They are like the Japanese, because they used to be an isolationist society.

The Xaela, being war-like is a Mongolian thing.
http://www.shsu.edu/~his_ncp/Mongolia.html
Originally there were many warlike nomadic tribes living in Mongolia, and apparently most of these belonged to one or the other of two racially distinct and linguistically very different groupings.

After a century of Mongol dominance in Eurasia, the traditional patterns reasserted themselves. Mongols living outside Mongolia were absorbed by the conquered populations; Mongolia itself again became a land of incessantly warring nomadic tribes.

I mean. Its not completely how they were yes, but yeah. They are similar to what they are.

I have been all races multiple of times my fav is elf and roe but yeah when i play those races the animations feels soo bad. Fem roe movement is far far far to heavy and feels like ur stomping

And thats exactly why i like Femroes, we're literally amazons. We're built to "f*ck sh*t up" and our animations reflect that. Look at our /rally emote for example. I would easily rip the head off of everyone being to close while doing it, even though i was just trying to cheer that person up...

We're not ballerinas swaying our arms from side to side carefully trying not to break porcelain bowls.
Instead we're coming in hot. Screw everything standing in our path. The bowls, the shelves and that poor lala desperately trying to hold everything together. He will be served for dinner if there is a spared bowl anyway.

Femroes are one of the best designed races in my opinion.
