New Race Announced! The Au Ra

[Mirron]

That and the all-female thing, but I'm glad that they didn't do that. Shame on the wings bit, but it's entirely understandable why they don't have them.

I don't really like them, I though they would add a really interesting design since it seemed that they dropped the Viera for this race, which looks really generic in my opinion, I would prefer a generic bunny girl/guy than a generic "dragon" race... but to each their own I guess, I'll stay with my Miqo.

Sigh my coworker told me about this race.

Whilebit pains me to say it...
I am actually disappointed.

They look like the Miqo'te character model just with the Cat features chopped off, horns stuck to their face, & a hairless tail replacing the furry tail.

In "MY" opinion...
The race should be as drastic a change as Roegadyn are.
Something that stands out.
A thick crocodile like tail, full body scales, and horn patterns like the Gria.
The cheek horns are...odd.

Right now they just look like Miqo'te to me. I also feel that the Miqo'te need full body fur as an "option".
Like the Ronso.

People didn't vote for rabbits. They voted for mammalian. That could be anything from Ardvark to Zebras people. But Dragon people are cool too.

Dropping my 2 gils aswell.

I like the males more than the females. For my likings, the females seem a bit too delicate to be something "dragonish". Well, maybe there will be a few options to make them look a bit more fierce.
(Like with the fem. Miqo'te. I always thought that the small eye option made them more fierce and less cute ^^")

The one thing I don't like on both genders is the style/shape of the tail. They look too much like those of Miqo'te and especially on the huge males they seem... a bit strange. You barely notice them :/
I wrote on the SGD that I think, that the tails should be a bit more voluminous/thicker/whatever and I do hope they'll get a slider too.

Show your support for this option in this thread: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-it-Yoshi-P%21

I've been reading all the responses to the new race announcement... there are two camps: ones who love how clean & pretty they are & ones who'd hoped or who wish they were more reptilian/monster-like.

My request is simple: please both parties by implementing a "scaly skin" option.

Ones who like the clean/pretty look will remain happy with them as they are & the ones who want a more reptilian look now have that option.

It doesn't have to be the entire body, it could be from those thick armor-like scale shoulder parts up if anything. If you're worried about the development time & rendering/processing, that much would suffice.

Here's my kindergarten example's:





Please Dev's (Bayohne, Camate, Grekumah), Yoshi-P, if there's any Character Customization Suggestion of mine you heed, let it be this one! And while there's still time!!

Have to disagree. I think the patches of scales will add much more character to the new race than full body scale coverage.

Now just have to hope one can pick where the scales go, as to add some difference between the players a bit more.

If they where covered in full body scales, I also think they'd get played less. For all the forum talk you see of "I want such and such! So do so many others!" It's one of the least played races in every other game.

Aman in TERA? Bottom of player chosen races. Draken in WS? Bottom of player chosen races.

They're not as popular a race as some people think, and made even less so if they're deemed ugly by the masses.

Recommend getting an eye test.

We already know since 2.2 how the tail would look

Isnt that very close to Viera?
Well, I agree, there are so many more they can add: I like the moon race...
