Inspired me to get the top AND switch back to au ra. Though, I didn't want to have totally wasted my money, so I went xaela as well. I prefer raen overall. I went face 2, personally I think that's the best face for the dark scales, but yours using face 1 is probably one of the best xaela I've seen. The bit of highlights makes the hair look much less flat, and highlights seem to look great on xaela. My main raen preset uses that hair and face combination, but her hair definitely ends up looking flat, so those highlights really make a difference.
First try at an outfit utilizing the top. I'm kind of down on gil, so I mostly just used what I had. As usual, this specific outfit is for white mage, so I made it white... Don't know why I like staying in theme..
Also, another pair of bottoms that can match fairly well with the top are the Kupo trousers, but those look better better coupled with black dye. I might look into those for my black mage later.
