Which race deserves to be the main protagonist?

Well I'm not sorry to disagree, Nabril, but I would also (as an elezen and highlander main) say au ra... But xaelas specifically. Because yes, they have that unique point of view, but, at the same time, they're pretty religious, and not that violent nor that stupid. They're pretty much less violent than Ul'dah or even Limsa are, they live peacefully eleven months a year, and they have one of the most developed lores in the game...

Plus, it fits every event in the MSQ, from the opening cinematic to the whole doman/mhigan liberation. It also makes much more sense for the nadaam, for the cold reception you got in ishgard and so on.

And they look cool. Less than elezens, but hey.

Even the faction of Au Ra that believes that they all grow stronger in death was finally realizing that death is taking too much of them. Every year they slaughter each other and every year they grow weaker. You know it's bad when the ones who aren't afraid of death finally start to fear it. Remember? One even warned her that they can't take too many more deaths until they get their population back up. They'll all be extinct soon since it takes a couple centuries to increase your fighting force yet the ritual happens to the death every year.
