Race Change Dilemma

[Kosme]

I agree with every post. Lalafells are the obvious choice~

You could do what I do before using a fantaisa. Make a bunch of characters in the creator and even go as far as making one an actual char to find out if you like it.

Make some alts and try them out, it's no longer a pain since you can now skip the opening cutscene.

Pale skinned Xaela Au Ra allllllll the way! Besides, the closest thing to Succubus' in this game which is a winning factor for me

My current main is a male Roegadyn
I am a little put off by the sheer size of it (most other races come up to chest height at most)
thinking about changing to a [male] AuRa.

...does no one question the logic behind this? xD
So you go from tallest race to "race that is about 2 cm smaller"? xD
Chest height is nice, I reach about crotch area on male Au Ras...

As a Roelover, I have to say I think your Mroe is really cute and that I personally think you should stick to him(he's basically a palette swap of my partner's though so I'm biased. As a max height Femroe (so only a tiny bit smaller than you) I only really notice how freakishly tall Roes are when I'm on my alts. I can't comment overall on male AuRa animations, but I have to say I really dislike the run animation. Out of the two clans, I see far more Xaela, the two in my FC are of that clan also. I'd go with Raen if you swap, I think they look nicer. I'll also refer my MAuRa friends to this thread.

I wholeheartedly agree with the previous poster that mentioned checking the battle voices, as well as those for emotes. I went with what I thought I liked in the character creator and had to fantasia to change my Femroes voice as I found some sounds she made were horrible.

This is of course, just my opinion. You do you. <3

EDIT: And yeah lol, I'm basically between the height of a max height Mroe and max height MAuRa, so wanting to go Au Ra for a significant size reduction is a bit of a peculiar choice. Highlander Hyur male might be more suitable?

I did not realize just how close the au ra were in relation to size. I really like my roe, I may just have to get used to the size lol. I do appreciate all the helpful replies.

If you really like it, I'd say stick with it
Like many others, I always enjoy seeing these big, goofy guys (and ladies!) who always tend to be the one to start random dance parties in the town square and are just a rare sight in general
Don't get me wrong, I like male Au Ras a lot (especially the ones who DON'T go all edgelord on me but just look very..feral, in a good way). But we have lots of them, and it would be sad to see another Roebro go :0

If you can't get used to the size after all, Highlander would probably be the best option. Still a somewhat similar build and still far from tiny like Miqo'te or Midlanders, but not as tall as Roegadyn and Au Ra

Time to go Dr. Laura up in here!
Honestly, it seems to me like you LIKE your male Roe but because they are so different in build from most other races, coupled with the fact that there's fewer of them, you're having second-thoughts about your choice.

I think you should stick with him. Male roes always stand out to me and everyone I've met and gotten to know has a great personality - outgoing, fun-loving, world-burning type people seem to be attracted to them. One of my best friends is a Roe named Slab Hardbody - he's a RIOT.

If you absolutely must change, I would not go Au Ra. They are vastly disproportionate in the population and because of the horns being tied to the face they all look the same. They have a reputation for being dark edgelords and are a dime a dozen really. I can't see someone who would create a Roe being happy in such a homogenized race. Further, as a different poster said, they are more slight but they are about as tall as a Roe, just a hair smaller really.

I could recommend either Midlander (Highlanders also being quite large) or either Elezen for you. They all run weird, though, be prepared for that.

Or you would look great as a Female Lalafell.
