All the things I'm proposing here would basically not change the base model at all! The scales are handled entirely by the texture, whereas the tails are separate models altogether (that we can already swap between). Character height just scales 100% of the model up or down with no other fine-tuning... which becomes a problem on especially short or tall races because their proportions end up looking wrong on the opposite extreme (see people's complaints about Elezen's tiny heads)

unfortunately(not saying it's bad to spark creativity), they're unlikely to change now.

i can imagine a future FF MMO having variable races.< dare I personally hope. maybe even. Half-Races in a FUTURE FF MMO like a M-Aura + FRoe = Tall Female Roe body with Aura Features. or switch lala for those who want imp aesthetic>

but at most they'll unpair the horns.
[or maybe they'll expand options,
which is something we may have never seen or thought before. make everything fit the new bodies, and then add more faces and options]

but I have no real horse in any races. since I'm fine with my face.[which only gains bonuses from being in the same boat as sadu, but otherwise I'd care less]

tldr:
They highly unlikely won't.<it'll sure throw off many>
they could unpair faces.[not too ecstatic, but not against]
or they might add more customizations which I hope they add no matter what. which would make character creation even larger. without taxing changes much

EDIT:
just noticed you added more to your post so I'll add.
that Those scale options will be nice if they work like the facial options where you can add or remove.
though lore wise those with less scales tend to lean more half-race. not saying a full-blooded au ra can't have less or more scales.[we already have less or more scales on our faces]

and I guess it all fits a theme.
they didn't really go demonic. and didn't go full into Draconic.
so hence we get called lizards.[internally I'll always be of A brood]

so I doubt[not saying that they won't change at all], just doubt they'll change course of a races theme at this stage.

but I like your ideas.

While I love both my character's face and horns together, I also love to see the horns separated from the face. I def feel like it would make them more unique and gives freedom to other people to choose a favourite face with favourite horns over being forced to choose a face type and not caring for either the face or horns. I'd like to see more horn and tail options too, hopefully it wouldn't be that much of a hassle to add because the latter feels extremely limited as there's only one tail shape with a unique tip. Also would like a slider that adds more scales to the body similar to how chiseling muscles work but that probably sounds too ambitious there.

EDIT: I posted this while you were editing this and a number of posts were added, will read up.
Ya, I also agree with bigger tails (esp for the males) and making female Au Ra bigger as long as the smallest Au Ra can keep her size because I love the aesthetic of "small girl, big axe".

<edited my previous comment, since I replied before your edit>
just letting know.

even thought ideas in the same vein, but different outcomes.

I can imagine them adding more faces and horns. at most.

and unparing horns and faces at minimum. if they don't add more options.

edit:
I'm a Min-height Au Ra Main.
so I understand the want/appeal of/for a Tall Womanly Au Ra<maybe Ala succubus or imposing Draco/scaled warrior> hence my half race suggestion for a Future FFMMO.
but of course if they do decide to dive into the Female Au Ra body "scale" it'll definitely open the door for new asks and wants.<which isn't a bad thing>
but the theme will come into question.
