I've been uming and Ahhing about Au-ra for a while now. And I can onyl come back to the same conclusion.
I really don't like the design choice made by square on how the females look. It isn't the aesthetic of them, they're haunting in a weird creepy collectors doll way.
Ball Joint Dolls with glue on their face, what isn't to like?
What really irritates me about them the most is the unnatural height difference between the females and the males. The males - according to my observation in videos are around Male Highlander size while the females are probably around Miqo'te size.
Now this makes my head spin, The height on top of the smaller features and forced innocence on a race based on awesome dragons makes me think they are trying to sexualise adolescence. Which, is most likely not the case.Â
Is anyone else as weirded out about the height difference as me? I know that most people will play what is more appealing to them - but.. For me? I don't see the appeal of such a forcibly young character being attacked by monsters, other people and the like - same reason I can't play a lalafell.Â
Thoughts?
