Small glamour request for Au Ra - Yugiri's Hood!

[Bluevann]

I know that the Race-Specific sets do not usually come with an head piece, and that the Au Ra's headset has been shown when the race was announced at the Fan Festival.

However, just to embrace the lore a bit, I think it'd be nice if among their starter equiment, Au Ra came with a hood in the fashion of what Yugiri wears.



Of course, at the point in the MSQ story Au Ras will likely have no reason not to reveal themselves to the public, but as I imagine the race would be available at the New Game menu, I think it'd be nice for those choosing to start the game back from scratch as an Au Ra to have a lv1 Doman Hood to wear to not startle the NPCs in the early part of the Main Scenario quests, don't you think?

Just a small wish from a small roleplayer...!

This actually brings up an interesting point; how do they plan on explaining the sudden appearance of the Au Ra in the pre-Ishgard areas? I wonder if they'll change those quests?

How on earth does she see? lol

some fabric can be seen though.

Doesnt matter to me if it's starter gear, I just want to see it in game and perhaps various styles of it. It sure beats the hell out of the boring hood on any other armor that has a hood attached to it.

Ishgard opened to us.

Ishgard opened to us.

Not exactly. Given the lore we've received, the Xaela are nomadic and thus just haven't been around for a long time. And the Raen are Doman, so they've been mixed in with the refugees this entire time, we just haven't seen them (note that we've personally seen a grand total of maybe 10 to 20 refugees, yet Yugiri's plea to everyone strongly says that there's enough to fill multiple large ships)
It's strange, but they may not have anything to do with Ishgard currently, which is probably part of their lore. It makes sense that dragon people would be forced out of Ishgard at some point in history, given this Ishgard-Dragon war is literally ancient enough to have legends regarding it. It also fleshes out Doma a bit, which has been sorely needed.
I can imagine this connection is also why they haven't given us a lot of details regarding their origins: The Au Ra racial history could technically be considered a spoiler for the MSQ, so spilling more than what the races are doing now and where they live could count as an MSQ spoiler, like Yugiri's face.

I have a feeling they'll hole any Au Ra NPCs up in Ishgard, easier to keep them there and bar entry to new players than to go back and change everything I guess.

[Bluevann]

This has nothing to do with Ishgard really. Again, I'm talking about the instance of players starting the game from the beginning, where an Au ra is still supposed to be an unknown thing. Our hero might want to conceal his/her features when stepping into Eorzea. So, a hood that came with the starting Race Specific Equipment could justify how no NPC from 2.0 up to 2.55 is not startled by his/her resemblance, thanks to the hood concealing their horns. It worked for Yugiri, so I'd guess it would work for us too, even with the tail in plain sight.

[Averax]

Yes, and let it be dyable.

Also, separate the hood from the torso. Just so we don't run into the cowl debacle.
