It's lore...I am sure there are plenty of rp'ers who would gladly disregard lore because it isn't fun, but to simply ignore it....doesn't feel right either? I'm just saying my thought is all. I don't have an Au Ra and don't have much horse in the game at all with them. Just saw the comment and wanted to offer my thought.(05-06-2015, 02:59 AM)Seriphyn Wrote:Quote:The Au Ra group is made with the image of the devil. Their designs are inspired by demons, not dragons.

Surprising...I would have though that it doesn't matter if they are more demonic, people's ignorance and prejudices don't favour the truth of something. But I imagine SE don't want players to feel disheartened by playing characters who are shunned by the NPCs you are the hero of.
This is not fun at all, and it makes no sense anyway. Yugiri covered her face because Eorzeans don't know what an Au Ra is. I doubt Ishgard, always isolated Ishgard, knows better. If doesn't matter what Au Ra's real nature is; no one can figure that out at first sight, especially when the very explanation about their lore states how easy it is to mistake them as dragons.
Just like I don't follow the whole "I'm the hero, watch me shine" part of the lore, I don't want to lose the chance to get interesting conflicts with Au Ras. Not doing so feels weird, forced, and sugar coated anyway.
