I just noticed something...
From those pictures it looks like it's only the Xaela (black scale/horns) that have the glowing eyes. And the Raen (white scale/horns) got normal eyes.
Could just be a coincidence from the choices of eyecolour on the models thou.

But if that's so, I am more sure then ever that the Xaela will dominate among those 2 clans.

Oh hey, nice observation! O.O It could have something to do with the lore too, however the whole Dawn Father and Dusk Mother story played out. I'm on the fence now D: I thought Raen would be my clan but the Xaela are just so pretty...

Me too, ifrit is surely bigger, i'm so excited!

O_O, I didn't really notice the first time around but with that still image comparing to the other races it definitely looks bigger. That's awesome, he looks pretty freaking imposing in that screen.

Also the character creation screens ... ugh I may actually change my race... but I dont want to.. maybe I'm going to go through all my stocked up fantasia in the first week of heavensward XD.

I wonder... Will Miqo'te keep it's place as Nr.1 race, or will they get overrun by the Au Ra... The Males looks bad*ss and the females looks pretty/beautifull/gorgeous or what ever you wanna call it.

For sure for a few months Au Ra will dominate, but once it becomes the norm instead of shiny there might be a drop off. That said I see atleast the female Au Ra rivaling female Miqo'te, and maybe even still have a decent male population.

I hope it's story related, it would seem really odd to have it change without any lore behind it. When whole SMN story was based around controlling the egi and such the above almost loooks like what the evil SMN was aiming for. So I could see SMN's getting an "upgraded" look while the base egi forms remain for the first part of the SMN story.

I've got my money on camera tricks.
(I don't want to be disappointed)

[Antanias]

Is it just me or does Ifrit-egi look like he's been upgraded texture-wise?

Also, that DRG limit break is just too [CENSORED] awesome

[Niqote]

Benchmark still shows only 5 facial feature options ><

*Hopes for more come release*

[Slirith]

Very much hoping the monk rotation doesn't get much more complicated :/ Hope it's just new abilities like Howling Fist etc

[Zohar_Lahar]

SMN changed a lot

How so exactly?

[OMEGA_HACK]

How so exactly?

They didn't go into details in the NicoNico Live event yesterday about SMN changes, just a "Expect big changes, please look forward to it!" iirc...There is supposed to be a Battle focused Live Letter early/mid May, they will probably discuss it then.
