New Lore Drops! - Au Ra edition - Kage - 03-09-2015 Tiny new tid bits of Au Ra stuff! Quote:1. What is the official pronunciation of Au Ra again? RE: New Lore Drops! - Au Ra edition - allgivenover - 03-09-2015 From the crunchyroll interview. (http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-feature/2015/03/08/feature-final-fantasy-xiv-heavensward-sneak-peek-and-interview-with-naoki-yoshida) Quote:There has been some criticism for the female version of the new race, the Au Ra. Some people think that they are too pretty. Will we be able to make them more monster like? Does this mean they're a dragon/demon humanoid race? If so, why can only the females go this route? Very interesting. RE: New Lore Drops! - Au Ra edition - Kage - 03-09-2015 Yep I linked that http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=10472&pid=155103#pid155103 but I decided that the information was a little more design-based than lore-based but it is still great info to share. RE: New Lore Drops! - Au Ra edition - Steel Wolf - 03-09-2015 Well good to get confirmation of the adjectival form of Au Ra. I am very much looking forward to further lore snacks as things inch forward...ideally sooner rather than later. Which sounds reasonably likely since things are all but fleshed out. RE: New Lore Drops! - Au Ra edition - Bryn - 03-09-2015 Having been disappointed by the design of the female Au Ra, I'm glad to hear that we can make them more bestial. It would be nice if SE would demonstrate this, but I guess the new benchmark isn't far off at this point. Patience, patience... RE: New Lore Drops! - Au Ra edition - Kage - 03-09-2015 Well if we're talking the design stuff now XD, it seems interesting what they're saying. Basically, they might have made them more stocky and buff, but the general populace don't really use that in their character customization. The buffer ladies (FemRoes and Highlander Babes) just aren't played as much. Perhaps I am looking into it too deeply, but I guess Auri types aren't actually draconian-like or beastly as I might have thought. Their design is supposed to be demonic or seductive? Guys, please don't have the sexy times with the Void.

Also, I'm totally making my Auri dude obsessed with turkey, if it's actually a bird. If not, I'll find a lore-suitable replacement. So far, that's the ONLY thing I know about my FUTURE!AU RA RE: New Lore Drops! - Au Ra edition - Bryn - 03-09-2015 (03-09-2015, 08:49 AM)Berrod Armstrong Wrote:(03-09-2015, 08:45 AM)Kage Wrote: Guys, please don't have the sexy times with the Void.I have entire chapters of smut prepared and there's nothing you can do to stop me.

I find the focus of the Auri horns to be interesting. He stated that the HORNS are where the focus of customization is. (If also a cop out for design purposes, I mean, the horn... just that.) RE: New Lore Drops! - Au Ra edition - Imo - 03-09-2015 Quote:To reiterate though, there is the option to make her more demon- or succubus-like. Maybe I'm cynical, but to me this reads as: "We totally give you a lot of customization options for your female Au Ra! She doesn't have to be cute and pretty! She can be hot and sexy instead!"

So brace yourself for more cute/sexy demon/succubus.

Their design is supposed to be demonic or seductive? /speculation Perhaps they are both. St. Shiva was a succubus. Therefore demon/dragon race but only the females can look demonlike cause reasons.

RE: New Lore Drops! - Au Ra edition - Harmonixer - 03-09-2015 Auri huh? Can't say I saw that coming but it'll do I guess. Now to see arguments over surnames! Still, some information is better than none. I definitely clicked with the quickness after seeing the title. Hopefully we get more soon! |
