The Au Ra group is made with the image of the devil. Their designs are inspired by demons, not dragons. Because of this, even though they have a similar appearance to dragons, they won't be especially persecuted by city residents. (Oda)

Though I do assume this means Ishgard but yeah. I think it's rather safe to say for NPCs they won't so much bat an eye.
I think some key words are being missed. The "speculation" that Au Ra are the progeny of dragons is disputed, not refuted. This means that there is still a split on agreement. Moreover, them not being "especially persecuted", well I think the key word there is "especially". They can still be persecuted.Â
Given the more realistic themes of FFXIV, I am pretty sure it is more than possible that many Eorzeans will be discomforted by the presence of Au Ra, as either being voidsent or dragonkin. It is a shame that only a minority of us will actually roleplay out these tensions...because do we really think in a world where there is still racial divides (Elezen vs Hyur, Gridanians vs Keepers, Ul'dahns vs Highlanders), that the mass arrival of Au Ra will be met without a bat of an eyelid?
