    What you and several other people are doing is you're trying to mold a unique race into a preconceived picture of what you think they look should like, but its no less wrong than if I was to argue that Roegadyn should be bright green and have fangs like Orcs just because they both happen to be large.
    Really? Because the concept art looks more proportioned to me.

    If we want to play the concept art game, lets not forget Au Ra.


    Personally, that concept art for the Au Ra female looks miles better than what we have. They look dangerous, they are more covered in scales, and they have significantly larger tails. They look more draconic, which to me is a good thing,and considering the Au Ra are supposed to be an aggressive tribal society, that look would fit them so much better than the tiny lizard waifus we ended up with, and I 100% would have played one. So I fully understand wanting what could have been, trust me, I get it. But we work with what we have. but what the concept art shows is ultimately irrelevant, what we have is what matters. What the elezen could have been doesn't matter, what matters is the elezen we have is what those of us who play elezen like.

    Aaaaa seeing what female au ra could've been makes me feel depressed at what we actually got ;-;. Hopefully in the future they'll add that kind of appearance as like a third option for fem aura

    THIS! Exactly this! I joined in HW and the "dragon people" were what drew me to play the game. I was really excited to play one until I saw the females and went "nope!" (My husband was rolling a male so I wanted to be sappy and be a pair together). I was really upset and rolled Elezen instead. Now my husband is a handsome Wildwood to match my Duskweight .

    Moral of the story: not everyone finds the same astetic appealing.
