    Raen on females and Xaela on males, because of the sclera. If females had the darker sclera as the males, then I would be for Xaela for both genders.

    I'm a Xaela fan myself. Thanks to the dark horns, I can create a very demonic look. But at the same time, she'll look elegant. She's become my female race & clan of choice as a result because of how much of a twin personality she looks like she has. I must say though, the lore of Xaela matches me quite a lot, in terms of that they are always going somewhere else. While I'm not very barbaric IRL, I have a huge wanderlust. I'm constantly leaving my home city (though don't move away from said city, I'm not in a position where I can), and thus I feel I fit in with the Xaela better. I found I couldn't really identify with the Raen on a lore level.

    As I'm sure you are well aware, it takes more than one person to be able to kick a player from a duty, so in all those instances there were at least two people agreeing they'd be better off without you tanking.

    raen, i like the coloring and scale coloring.

    I do prefer Xaela lore however, but it bothers me immensely the scaling is blue-black. it doesn't work with the skin colors I tend to pick.

    Xaela, gotta be a "lizard" person. Otherwise the tail just does not make sense.

    Xaela because of black sclera and pretty black scales. I also like the lore of the many Xaela tribes a lot more than the Raen because some of them are wild.

    I picked Xaela mostly because I feel that the dark scales look better on the dark skintone I like to use. White scales on dark skin is just too clashy.

    Honestly don't get people saying the dark scales are "blue-black" they look true black to me; perfectly matches jet-black-dyed gear and the black swimsuit.

    depends on your coloring on your monitor/tv and what your eyes perceive. I have played on both, and the blue really stands out on the monitor. You could see it on the tv as well, but to less of a degree...(used TV for a monitor when I switched from PS4 to PC FFXIV then used a nice monitor) even on my husbands older tv you could see it. but now hes on the monitor too and you really see it. Just from my work computer here, I can see the blue in the scaling in your profile picture. If you compare it simply to a male aura you can also see theres a difference. their scales are true black or pretty darn close to it

    I prefer Xaela, only they can have the palest skins, and honestly I love pale characters.

    Raen, all the way for me, though I seem to use darker Xaela-like skintones on my Raen so it seems like I'm actually falling somewhere in the middle. I do like the white scales more then the black ones for some reason.

    Xaela is only Au Ra. <3 For me, The lore of Xaela is way better. I also love the darker scales on the pale pale skin color I chose, and since I like to use white/black glamour and hair color mostly it mixes very well. Plus the darker scales fit the image of Au Ra I had imagined at first.
