Heavensward Race Survey (from reddit)

I hate that I'm such a minority before and even worse AFTER!

I think I should mention that they aren't (as of this posting) demon origin. It was also said their dragon origin is questionable and their [tribal decoration] follows a demon motif (like face paint on Miqo'te), and explains the "horns" in certain hairstyles. It was never said they are demon origin.

I would like to see links that argue this, as what I understand may differ. I'm very perceptive, though.

•Aura are not related to Dragons. Their motif are demons.

I am sure someone possibly posted this, but either way figured I'd post it.

Koji Fox said this at the lore panel. Anyway, I am sure they will 'officially' say more soon, because I know until its on the main page or posted under a community rep, people will debate/etc, which is fine lol.

"motif" doesn't define origin. They can still be be mermaids with an elephant motif.

I don't plan to change my race, still making an Au Ra Alt though.

Aww the Elezen and Roe numbers compared to everyone else >.<

[Arixtotle]

Those numbers make no sense... 40% of people changing and yet 51% Auri. 11% of people lied on one of the two questions.

Or they're going to start over with all new characters.

I don't understand why anyone would do that...

It depends on how they understood the questions, as for everyone who said they wouldn't change the last question is obsolete. Some may have looked at the last one as "if you were going to change which race will you be for 3.0 and beyond" That would explain that discrepancy.

Not surprising that a lot of Miqo'te will change. What would put me off Au'Ra is the bandwagon. I wasn't gonna change until I saw the character creator, but I don't just want to jump on the bandwagon.

That's very true.

Honestly you shouldn't not do something just because a lot of others are doing it. Just like you shouldn't do something just because a lot of others are doing it. Personally I'll be changing to Male Auri. I didn't expect to like them as much as I do.
