Because I'm bored at work, I'm letting you all decide (or not, you could also tell me to pick a race and fucking settle with it, I guess) what my main avatar's next incarnation will be. Vote in the poll, tell me what a bad person I am for spending so much money on intangible digital goods, and be on your way.
You play a Warrior you should be a Roegadyn by default especially because Savage.

Unrelated but kind of related.. I have a hard time taking any warrior's that aren't Roes seriously. XD

Roe wins it. 

Savage Mountain is born.

Au Ra Warriors though... Especially in AF1 so they get 4 horns. I mean, come on. 4 badass looking horns. They might not be Roegadyns, but damn they look good as Warriors.

Au Ra is love Au Ra is life.

Provided you placed well enough in prior courses, you should be due up for the Boonta Eve Classic.

There is zero lore to support them though, technically any trying for it should be complete green noobs. Being as Warrior training for all races just opened up aster the HW Warrior quest line. 

If you want to be a right proper Warrior it's Hellsguard or go home. Everyone else should either be a.) struggling to learn it, or B.) Had a Hellsguard teacher, and been on Eorzea a while so that disqualifies 90% of Au Ra


RE: What's My Next Character Race? - Vyce - 10-23-2015

My next character is a Mammet.

I started emoting for a little Mammet #001 and I am in love. His name is Cuthbert and his only purpose in life is to shine shoes. He would travel the ends of the earth to keep Solmund's shoes smudge-free. If Sol's leg were bitten off by a Goobue, Cuthbert would climb into the Goobue's stomach just to keep the shoe clean while the leg digested.

Those #001s and their limited capabilities.

Chiming in to say that this is 100% bullshit. We know there were Warriors before we ever got to see them in the game, so it's perfectly fair to presume some of the Olde Warriors ventured out into the world instead of staying in the spine. There's no cemented lore saying "Nope, no one ever left, they all died and only George knows the ways now." We're only shown that, as far as George knows, he's the only one.

Which plays perfectly into that being because the others who could teach were Elsewhere into Othard doing other things and teaching other students.

I haven't said it's the best choice, lore-wise. I just stated they look cool. And it -can- be done, anyway.
That Au Ra could have had an Hellsguard teacher.
He/she could have found those "writings" Curious Gorge and Broken Mountain speak about during the quests.
He/she could have found a Soul of the Warrior.
He/she could come from a custom tribe which established themselves for some times in Alabathia's Spine, near the Hellsguard tribe.
He/she could be an adventurer who went by himself to Alabathia's Spine.
The possibilities are endless. And calling someone a noob just because he/she plays an unusual job/race combination would be stupid.

Using your own argument against you there's no lore to suggest what you said at all either.  However all lore we have suggests that only Hellsguards were Warriors and no other race (with the exception of The Warrior Of Light.) 

So sure it's plausible some Hellsguard went to Othard and settled down passing his/her teachings on. But that falls into the having had a Hellsguard teacher category.

As long as you have a good enough story you can spin and bend a lot of lore sure.

(also just finding a Soul Crystal would be bad, because you'd likely just end up a murder machine.)

That part was just cheeky snark. As long as someone has a story sure I'd buy that.. though one of them are stretching and you'd have to have a really well thought out story to pull it off, and likely get others to play along with. (such as the custom tribe.) 

Also as mentioned previously just finding a stone would be bad. you'd likely just end up a murder machine.

1 - Right proper? Who decides what is 'right proper' for each class/race combo? If the devs wanted the classes race locked, they would be.

2 - The races have been allies for how many years now? The 'End of the Era' and 'Heavensward' trailers has everyone's favorite derplander as what class? A warrior.

I'm pretty sure, that was for PvE purposes. Lore wise there's nothing to suggest they taught outside their race. Derplander is the only exception we have and we know nothing about his background, he could have been personally trained by a Hellsguard, adopted to one, we literally have nothing. But from the lore we do have suggesting he just picked up his axe one day and was like LOL Warrior, is kind of silly.

Technically speaking you're correct, there's no lore to suggest what I said would be possible. However, there's nothing that says explicitly that your interpretation was correct either. So, we're left with two situations: The one where someone is extremely limited in their options and the one where they aren't.

The Soul Stone part was just to list an example. Also, the fact that the WoL can be a Warrior doesn't mean he is the only non-Hellsguard one. I mean, the WoL becomes one just because Curious Gorge looks at him fighting against crazed Archelons, and decides to train.
Just about anyone could end up in a similar situation.
