Au Ra, on the other hand, had a much better concept art that didn't go through for various reasons. Like you said, I highly suspect that if we do get another beast-like race it'll just be a Hyur/Miqo'te lookalike with different and/or additional "accessories" attached to them.

On a side note, I suspect the "challenge" that it would have posed for the FFXIV team is why Roegadyn don't resemble the race they were based off of body type wise.
I was referring to this.





Gear that was designed specifically for Miqo'te in 1.0 is no longer present in ARR/HW. Something something limitations or whatever.
