Because height-wise, they look like they're more about Midlander or Miqo'te size. I even looked at the Ishgard location video and the Au Ra female is clearly about the same size as the Midlander who passes her. Some people would prefer them to be taller. Not me, I adore contrast, but that's the reason for the complaint.

Since reveal, male Au Ra look like male elezen with the Elephant Man disease I can't be assed to google.

On the original topic, I had mixed results with Roegadyn and Highlander females. (No secret) Sigyn was pretty openly received by members of the opposite sex (and a few of the same). Siobhain, however, was more approachable to the same and only maybe three of the opposite? She wasn't a huge Hellsguard but she was pretty strict looking in her armor and such. I'm not sure if it's because certain styles of dress or look or something give people the idea that the character has a 'preference' that doesn't include them, whether race-based or gender-based.

Anyone but me find it ironic that the thread has become about Au Ra instead about muscular female highlanders and roegadyns? xD

It was centred around the theme of muscular women and Au Ra not fitting that profile was of relation! Plus the OP seemed onboard with it so I think we'll be fine.
(No-one tell the mods).
Ohhh! I was meant to comment on something actually! Someone mentioned that they had this image of their Au Ra sitting on their companion's(male) shoulders..... th-that's what I had in mind! ;___;
Not all the time of course, but I can just seem him doing it when she wants to be all astrologie-wogie with the sun, moon, stars... just generally wants to get a better view of surrounding terrain or even wading through a river.
Shut up, it works.

Um, well, at least I think we know the Roegadyn and Highlander ladies are quite popular on Balmung! There are so many more Highlander ladies than Midlanders that I see!

RE: Too much woman to handle? - Flickering Ember - 03-17-2015
I find it amusing but also a little bit sad. I'm more interested on reading people's anecdotes/experiences with female highlanders and roegadyns and would love it people posted more on that subject. I am also interested in reading the debates on why and how SE made the design decisions they did with Au Ra, though. At this point, I know I am not the OP but would be appreciative if we started a new thread for Au Ra so we could continue both topics.

The buck stops here.
Derail again and we'll lock. ^^
Highlanders, roegadames, and Au Ra babes, go!

They metric they used was of the entire player base, like it or not. A whole helluva lot (I'd even say most) RPers on Balmung play Miqote, obviously they like the aesthetic. Want more muscular women? Play one so SE knows we want them. "They are nice to look at" doesn't count.
I play a Highlander female as my secondary main but don't rp with her outside my own FC (for reasons) since she's level 50 and somewhat geared, I've made my voice known.
(That highlander women are hot)
