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).
