I guess we'll see if people follow the lore on this one or if it'll be like everything else where they are selective with the lore. Hard on others, but lax with themselves.
[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]Well to be fair, we know that Raen also associate closely with the Domans and... uh, they're not doing so hot right now.Â [/color]

They're doing plenty hot. You could say Doma's really on fire right now.

I can't tell if I'm mad you said it or if I'm laughing so hard it's turning into rage

It's nice to have confirmation that Au Ra are Othardian, though, with the Xaela from the western portion of the continent and the Raen the eastern (Doma confirmed on the eastern half of Othard?).

With the little morsel we know now, it seems like Au Ra could have easily been in Eorzea in small numbers for some time now, right? I don't plan on making one, but I know there's been a lot of debate whether they could be in a timeline pre-Heavensward. I guess to me this says that people wanting to re-work some characters without losing some of their precious memories/interactions with family and friends can pull something off. But is that how most people will see it, or will there still be people arguing with each other over character origins?

I think some Au Ra presence of either clan since 2.Leviathan can be fairly legitimate. Earlier than that, creative usage of "they left Othard/Doma at some earlier point during the war" would work. Following Yugiri's example of keeping completely covered is probably the best way to keep the appearance issue from being a problem if they'd been here for a while -- either they dressed similarly, used glamours, or just stayed hidden/in the home/away from 'outsiders'.

Between the scholarly evidence and their own creation myth that suggests Au Ra are likely not dragonspawn and that they are Othard natives, I am -extremely- pleased with this lore. I had worried that Yugiri was going to turn out to be some lore fluke and be the only Au Ra Doman/Easterner. And I really, -really- didn't want dragonspawn.Â

Dark Knight... well, I'll preface this by saying the only other FF game I've played is XI. Dark Knight there wasn't a 'fallen Paladin' or 'evil knight' -- it was originally a Galkan tradition that 'fed' off their Chain of Rage. If the rage got the better of them (even for non-Galkas), they could go insane or die and come back as an evil spirit that inhabits their weapons and possess kobolds to carry them around.Â
All that being said, I like this vigilante-fight-for-the-little-people take. I probably still won't play it -- I lack the proper mentality to be a tank.

Astrologian makes more sense to me now that it's Sharlayan tradition. I was having a hard time braining through "look through telescopes and write in logs" suddenly becoming "Heals!". Will probably only level it if it's required for some achievement.

Machinist... probably not my cup of tea to play. Totally waiting for gunfights at High Noon, though.

I guess my point is we have a solid point of lore. That said there are many here who seem set on attacking people on their lore adherence at every turn. I am just curious to see how many of these "lore enforcers" will break their own rules for the shiny new thing.

As personal, I don't care what you play, its your sub. I'm just curious to see how hypocritical people can be for my own amusement.

Steel Wolf · **04-17-2015, 01:48 PM**

The lore around the Dark Knight could not suit Steel's purposes more unless it said "Only Roegadyn females with black and purple hair are eligible". It not only meshes with her sense of purpose, but it lines up with her view of the Ishgardian knights overall.

So. Super. Happy.

Muhahaha, time to be best machinist.

The lore for the class seems to line up with the path my character has been walking on, so that makes me happy.

YES.

Also if 75% of quicksand turns into Au Ra overnight, I just hope it's 75% male~

Gegenji · **04-17-2015, 02:06 PM**

... Well, Judge is male. If you dig senior citizens. Laugh

I'm just eager for the benchmark or whatever will let us at least figure out how we could design our Au Ra. I'm hoping I can manage to make Judge the old dragon grandpa he is meant to be. I'm doing okay with Grandpa Highlander... even with a distinct lack of sweater-vests.

Edgar · **04-17-2015, 02:09 PM**

I like the lore for the DRK class. It reminds me of FFIV's Dark Knights, where they were the badasses of the kingdom of Baron. Not necessarily evil, but no Paladins, either.

allgivenover · **04-17-2015, 02:44 PM**

Their power in IV was assuredly evil and corrupting.

Hyrist · **04-17-2015, 02:49 PM**

I can be evil, and corrupting!Â

... The power is dangerous and its mishandling can result in bad things happen to the user, yes. That does not make its users evil. Evil use is done by people who are themselves evil.

What I'm saying is Darkness is guns.
