    You aren't the only one, lots of female au ra players want to be taller. There was a huge thread about this in HW and even today you still get complaints about this amongst other things like horns not being decoupled.

    Tis no wonder the moment it was discovered modders piled on correcting this making xaelas in particular taller. Gives them the menacing yet good looking look thats missing for females but filled for the menfolk by the au ra.

    At the very least, they could change the max height of the female au ra and leave the minimum alone, so those that want to be cutesy lizards can continue to do so while those that want to be tall badass dragon girls can have their fun too.

    The height slider doesn't change body shape, just makes the whole model larger, so if they have too much size range then they start looking strange and out of proportion with other characters.

    There's still quite a bit more leeway than their official height range would lead you to believe. Making them Elezen or even Viera height is definitely out of the question, but between Mid and Highlander, for example? Should totally be doable without it looking weird

But making them... idk, just below like female Highlander in height would alleviate them looking like a joke next to the male Au Ra quite a bit I think.

    I'd love to see the Au'Ra in a more 'taller and demonic' looking light with more customization options. When I first joined XIV I didn't know they were supposed to be a dragon-like race because they didn't come across intimidating nor that different from the Miqo'te... Or maybe I'm just unobservant.

    Square Enix have extorted money from Viera and Hrothgar's limitations, but from the outside looking in it seems barely any of that money is invested back into the limited races. How much money have they made from players
    fantasia'ing to and from the limited races? We want more race-exclusive hair.
    We want them improved, and we want it done within a reasonable time.

    I wouldn't say lots tbh.
    More often than not, every au ra player is min height that I've seen with the high pitch voice. Au ra only have one high pitch voice((which is weird because theyre made to be cute)) so its kinda easy to tell.

    That has also been my experience. I actually thought max height au ra was smaller than it is due to this. Pleasant surprise as I tower over most miqo and fellow au ra.

    There is no apostrophe in Au Ra.
    And honestly the gender dimorphism is nice, I like it. It's a nice feature for a fantasy race.
