This game is on a terrible state right now.

My character doesn't even have ears, and all earrings just clip have into my head/hair in a basically invisible spot.

What I can't figure out is how we ended up with current Au Ra instead of something closer to their epic looking concept art.

It called cutting corners. I do like current Au'ra however. I would like to see more unique traits in races though.

I LOVE their concept art. /LOVE/.

Au Ra as is.. is okay. Don't hate it but like.. the concept art... It was very cool looking.

Adding a third set to the clans that were 'wild', always felt more achievable opportunity for more options than say new races entirely (as animations and other things normally need to come too). For example say the Au Ra who were isolated in the mountains that just happened to have a void portal at it's core, and hence ended up near voidkin looking. Miqote that are kind of furry, etc. Lalafell could have the little moogle race or potentially Yuke (mammet). Add dynamic body meshes, akin to many korean MMOs, and we'd have a party lol (dynamic to achieve skinny Roe or say a bulky upright Hroth- rather than painted on muscles there would be actual depth, etc).

Fem Au Ra is in a spot where I totally get people being frustrated but also what we got is perfect for my tastes, and I very likely wouldn't play the concept Au Ra at all and be playing Midlander instead, so it's like, sucks for everyone who wanted otherwise, but I am very happy they went a different route with them.
