The males look amazing, the females... I play a female Miqo'te and even I'm a bit put off my the 'MOE' vibes the female Au Ra give off... I wish there was a more fierce variant... But chances are I'll play around in the benchmark in a few days and find something I do end up liking.

Au Ra Xaela master race!

They're...alright, I guess. I can't quite put a finger upon why I'm not more enthusiastic. I suspect part of it is due to the excessive hype and that so many people are going to be re-rolling/creating Au Ra alts.
I really liked Miqo'te but because there were just so many of them I sort of lost interest in playing one myself.Â
The male Au Ra remind me a little of the Castanic of Tera and Blood Elves of WoW - both races I found to be aesthetically pleasing. The females don't interest me at all though - I find the size difference creepy and they don't really look like they're a different race to me to the same extent that their male counterparts do.
Either way FFXIV isn't very alt friendly in my opinion so I'm happy to stick with my current character.

Ehh, not really a fan of either of them. Thank god I had no plans to play as one.

Monday can't come fast enough. I need to get my hands on that character creator >_<
I wonder if the horns will be separated from the faces upon release, since they said they'd expand the creation by then. Even if they aren't, I can deal with that. It'll be fun!

Man those bright scales are pretty ugly. Xaela it is!

Honestly, I think they look pretty good. Â Some of it is just a weird angle on a tablet.
I won't be rolling one because there will be so many, but I'm excited to see them out and about.

I never intend to be a au Ra because Midlanders for life.Â
But I bet I can make a better looking Au Ra than anyone in this thread.
CHALLENGE ME MATE

I'm a little less impressed than I thought I'd be but I suppose I won't know for sure until I get my hands on the creator. Pretty excited to see what kinds of Auri we'll be seeing floating around soon, though.
RE: Au Ra Character Creation Screens! - Lady Rivienne - 04-25-2015
I would like to test them in the creator itself, I won't know for sure how I feel until I make one. However, I felt the same way about Elezen when I first saw them. I do wonder if there are different combinations for the horns and scales. Curiosity will be sated come Monday.

I think they look way less moe than Miqo'te (who have way more neotenized faces, one of the big moe traits) but since moe is a completely subjective, poorly defined term to begin with there's no way we could possibly reach a consensus about it.
RE: Au Ra Character Creation Screens! - Flickering Ember - 04-25-2015
Hm, four horn options? Well, I guess that is in line with the amount of options other races get. SE really needs to broaden their character creation screens.
I like this lady's horns:

Looking like the Xaela are going to be the more visually pleasing of the two, at least from my perspective.
RE: Au Ra Character Creation Screens! - Naunet - 04-25-2015
Doesn't surprise me that they only get 4 horn options. I think SE's definition of highly customizable is rather odd.
Still think the scales and horns look like a pasted on cosplay. It's really strange. xD The scales would look a LOT better if they actually blended along the edges into the skin.
