The Men FFXIV Needs

[Allegor]

I always had the feeling Au Ra ended up with "tattoos" instead of proper scaley limbs (like their concept art) for the same reason Hrothgar couldn't even have claws - they would've needed to retexture every single glove/boot with exposed fingers or toes. At the end of the day, even the "beast" race is a human in disguise.

The current au ra male bodytype completely ruins them. Well, their little run animation too.

Lost Ark warrior male bodytype is a bit too big for my tastes, but it's definitely nice for the people who like that. I haven't played Lost Ark - aside from logging in - for months, but, I think, at least in one version of the game, they have actually adjusted the bodytype of that class. I don't know if that screenshot is after adjustments or before.

Likely from before. The updated model isn't even out as far as I'm aware, and I've only ever seen a single screenshot of it to the point I question if it wasn't just some fever dream lol but either way it's basically just making them taller to match the other models, not so much change their body type.
