Oh, there's definitely lore about Au Ra strolling into Coerthas looking like dragons ending poorly; Sidurgu Orl would have opinions on that topic. You could assume that an Au Ra PC skates by virtue of being a ward of House Fortemps and thus protected by them, but I do agree that Au Ra seeing some different content in interacting with Ishgardians—and possibly even the heretics—would have been interesting.

I've never played a lalafell, but I've been told some of the dwarven content in Shadowbringers does change when you're a lalafell, and I've been shown that some of the incidental dialogue in the Monster Hunter crossover questline in Stormblood is different for miqo'te. And there have been nods in some questlines/cutscenes since Stormblood to the job you're playing at the time (Krile acknowledging you're a healer in one cutscene, Scholars having an additional response available during one part of Eden, etc.), so they might be edging towards doing a little more conditional content like that?
