"ok, so when ever the subject of au ra and being able to choose there horns come up, people immediately come up with phrases as:
“why should se undo there work so you can look cuteâ€
“just because you want a virtual character to look Kawaiiâ€
“i think they should stay locked to faces that way they arnt more unique then other racesâ€
so i decided to do basic math and count the different possible combinations of just the faces,tails,horns, and hair compared to miqo’te’s faces, tails, and hair.
and the difference if the horns are locked to the face compared to if the horns were freely choosable is a much bigger number then i think most realise,Â
for the sake of numbers i didn’t include hight as a factor due to only 2 races having hight be a true distinguishable feature, Roe’s and Lala’s, and focused more on what can be seen right away, i also didn’t count the ‘scale’ and ‘face mark’ areas since the combination is basically
((4x5)+ (4 x10)+(4x9)+(4x6) + 4) = 124 possible new combinations on top.
so with this i hope people realise that not being able to ditch the horns is going to limit the amount of different looks au ra will have (not counting hair colour or eye colour this is solely on looks)

the image above is the original face 4 with its default horns.

now the image above is face 4 with face 1′s horns, the face may look the same, but the new horns are giving this character a much different looks even if the colours are the exact sameÂ
(credit to the op of the thread for making those edits.)
the op has done that with each face for female au ra and male au raÂ
i reccomend you see it and click the like so we can get customised horns
Link to the original thread on FFXIV’s forums,
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/231308-Please-make-the-Au-Ra-horns-separate-from-the-faces%21
The reason i say to like the first post is the devs mainly pay attention to what has a lot of likes and if it is on feedback they take that into consideration. :3"
I quite agree with this assessment. The Au Ra horns tied to the faces really limits the customization, and I overall find it an odd choice to link those two things together. The horns could easily have been a customization option on its own, not dependent of your choice of face.
What do you guys think?
