New Race Announced! The Au Ra

[Ashkendor]

Rawr. I may actually switch back to male when this is introduced. They look fierce, kinda bestial. I like em. :3

I'm kinda disappointed with the females, though. Their non-human features are almost unnoticeable. :|

Just because Odin is older than Shiva doesn't mean that he has had his sword that long.

He was bound away before Shiva so unless he picked it up a couple of weeks ago...

The difference in height between the sexes is veryvery jarring. Like they aren't even the same races at 1st glance.

Not a fan of the male's look thus far and the female seems like it'll have very girly animations ala midland females.

Guess we'll have to wait and see

AYE that too...it's like Elezen gets caught up with Miqo'te....seen a few fanarts, read a few fics....it's just....awkward much? Idek. @.@

I agree about the height differences, I find it very noticeable and sexist. In a menacing race like this why do the women look like little girls? Not a fan of their look, but its still early on. Maybe the females are at minimum height and males are at max? I hope so anyway. Would be silly to have the women be half the size as the men. Also the male gear is way cooler than the female.

At least it's not super slutty like the Miqo'te/Hyur racial starter gear is. That stuff is ghastly.

Hrm. I have mixed feelings. On one hand, both males and females look quite good. On the other hand, I really dislike the large difference between the genders. It is like one person wanted to do a race with cool tough guys, and another person wanted to do a race with petite elegant girls, but they could only do one race so they combined them.

But I won't lie, I will definitely consider switching to one of the females. I love my Midlander, but it'd be nice to play something more exotic. It is hard to tell their height without any basis for comparison, but so far they look quite petite and lovely.
