Male Au Ra Standing posture is way too "proper", namely his feet

[Terin]

Honestly, most of the Au Ra's animations are spot-on for what I would expect of them. They have kind of this "dudebro" vibe that's interesting compared to the other races. Even their dance, it has a lot of character.

Except... whenever they return to that default standing pose, it just looks really awkward, and maybe even inconsistent with the rest of their personality. They look almost identical to Elezen because of that posture, like they're already in that "Kain Highwind-pose", 24/7.

I feel like something a *BIT* more relaxed would look a lot better. For example, equip a Gladiator/Paladin weapon, and look at their alternate-stance there. The way they stand, their feet more at shoulder width, just looks way more natural. Being totally uptight just seems to clash with their more rugged animations and overall demeanor (doubly so for Xaela).

I agree, I see a lot of male Au Ra just standing in their default idle pose, and it comes off as ... idek. Very weird. Especially their arms. Love those more relaxed additional poses, love how they look in general - but that default idle makes me shake my head in a definite /no.

Yeah, it really bothers me how prim & proper they are.

It just needs to be changed from the default, make it one of the alternate /cpose's.

I see quite a few using the other poses regularly, myself included, and they're great. They come off with some sass and the sense of being imposing to them. The regular stance I still use from time to time, but not as often as I would other races.

[Terin]

To be honest, it's something I hope they consider changing; for people who like the current pose, make it into an alternate pose.

The reason I suggest that is because, no matter what animation plays, they always revert to that default pose, even for just a second. Plus, your character always uses the default pose in cutscenes, and just makes them look very stiff and rigid, like Elezen.

Also... again, super nit-picky stuff, but I actually wish the Au Ra had canines/fangs. It seems weird for them to have these perfectly strange, even teeth; with more prominent canines, I think they'd be a little more imposing.

I do miss that a lot about my mooncat, it was one of the reasons I picked Keeper over Seeker for him.

Edit: A bit more rough-around-the-edges or savagery to the Xaela wouldn't hurt.

Not all of the Au Ra wish to embrace your barbaric notions of race and gender.

I kind of agree. Alot of their poses looked more like something I'd see a catalogue model be doing. Oh well, it's just a minor issue I have

Hmm, well maybe keep the current animation for the Raen? That would actually make sense, anyways.

Like I said, I would just think, if you wanted that kind of "vibe", you'd be as well off going Elezen.

You give a dog a bone and the rest will want one as well.
