I'm so pleased with the Astrologian lore and the Raen lore. I can't wait to make a pretty little Auri (Au Ri?) girl making her living by being a fortune teller. Though I realise that concept has probably been thought by one or more of you lovely people. If it has, maybe there could be a guild for it or an FC in the player case. I'm not quite sure on her motives for leaving her home, though right now I'm thinking of the Garleans invading or maybe a personal reason. I may even end up using a fantasia on Seraphine and bulshitting about how it was a glamour all along or something... I dunno...
I'm also really psyched about the fact she was shown in a full length dress! A real dress!! Â
Though I do really like the idea of tribal warfare for the Xaela it would be interesting to see how people sin that. I mean, there has to be a reason these tribes are warring right? So maybe that resentment carries over to individual characters. Kind of like the Montagues and the Capulets. Maybe they too were forced the emigrate to Eorzea for reasons and they brought their conflicts with them. As a side note I really enjoy their designs in what I've seen so far. I love the contrast of the female model of the website and the darkness of the male. I just prefer the more aethereal  appearance of the Raen.Â
As for the influx of Au Ra characters, I think it's inevitable. I think that many people like myself, want to play an Au Ra because they're new and a bit of an enigma. As for Raen rarely leaving their homeland, I'd wager that it's subjective. A rarity in half a population of an entire nation may be tens of thousands of people. I haven't yet seen a map, but say that the Au Ra population was comparable to size of say...The UK. That's 64 million people. 0.1% of that is still 64000 and a sizeable immigrant population. Then again there aren't 64 million people on ther server, but you see my analogy I hope. I think it's also important to note that they aren't like the Miqo'te (as far as we know). By that I mean that the population isn't restricted in any way as of yet. There may well be millions of Au Ra in the world (theoretically). Therefore, I think it can be justified as to why there may be a huge influx of Raen and Xaela to Eorzea.Â
Also, if I don't see a 'Friends of Red Jenny' FC for DRK I will be thoroughly dissapointed.
