Why FFXIV is The Best

[Shurrikhan]

"Until now" does not answer why a ton of them would be in Eorzea without a single one being known to travel or have any home anywhere in Eorzea nor even previously seen before.

Why were there a ton of Au Ra before the race had more than a single NPC in all of Eorzea? The second was only introduced with Alexander, after they had already come to inexplicably and suddenly compose a quarter of the adventurer population.

There were no Au Ra refugees. There was no connection with Othgard. Yet there were hordes of them suddenly among our adventurers.

What part of that cries fidelity of lore?

Because at least they have adventurers and nomads.

Ignore them. They're just trolling at this point. Keep saying "lore! lore! lore!" and ignoring any and all points brought up against them.

Sidurgu brought up how there were several Auri refugees, and his clan got butchered by the Ishgardians; this was in DRK questline on HW launch. It's feasible to think other Auri clans wound up in other nooks of Eorzea.

Ahh, right. I'd forgotten about them since they only "appear" in dialogue, despite the obvious daemon-dragon (or, scales) connection among Au Ra. Always felt weird to me to get the exact same dialogue on my Au Ra character as on my Miqo.

In fairness, this is also a job quest that one isn't guaranteed to have seen at all in Heavensward. A tidbit like that to sort of soft retcon Auri adventurers in definitely should have been a bit more front-and-center than a periphery quest like that. I'm also not arguing that a soft retcon like this couldn't also be used for male Viera / female Hrothgar; I just felt it worth pointing out.
