Update! I've started a new thread that I'm sure all the wanna-be Au Ras will find appealing. Here's the link: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threa...ost2813229

Please show your support or share your feedback, preferably on the official forums!

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.

Yugiri being a key character they'll never make her outfit available to the player in the same way that almost every key character has a unique outfit/appearance. I also feel like her hood thing is more of a Ninja thing and less of an Au Ra thing.

That still supports the lore issue for players starting the game as Au Ras though, don't you agree? I don't think all Au Ras (nor all Eorzeans) will immediately be comfortable with how they look, so ways to conceal their features would be a nice addition to justify the fact that you CAN start the game as an Au Ra.

Plus, I didn't really specify it has to be exactly like Yugiri's. something that matched their starting outfits would be best imo, so in the white/black tones. The shape could be different too for that matter, but I still think they deserve something to hide their faces/horns.

A long braid for female characters, like this one;

I would kill for a braid like that.
I just want long hairstyles that aren't cutesified by a headband or fluff.

I think this assumes that they even explain you being able to play a new character as an Au Ra, which I kinda have my doubts that they will. I know Fern stated that the entire Ul'dah starting story was done in via the Echo in 1.0 (which is why we meet Minfilia as a little girl and an adult). I feel they are just going to have all Au Ra experience past events via the Echo, or just say it's the Echo until they are caught up to 3.0.

With that in mind, if that is the case there is no reason for them to hide their appearance because they'd be following Yugiri into Eorzea more than likely and she's going to be unmasked this month.

I will say that I'm not opposed to a similar hood/mask type thing getting added, I just don't feel it needs to be Au Ra racial gear.

New thread was started on the official forums. Here is the link:

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threa...ost2834958

And here is the body if you're really that lazy.

So I have seen many request various type of machinery implementations, as well as other things that many have pointed out do not fit either with Eorzea's current age nor with the Allagan Technology.

I, personally, have expressed complaints on the lack of "dirt", filth or steam-punk details. For example, the water in The Tangle, in which the Castrum dumps its sewer waters and in which MORBOLS live, the water is crystal clear. Isn't that a bit off?

So I'd love to propose, as early as this may be, to eventually let us have ambientations typical of the Industrial Revolution in Europe. This would include the typical things of the Industrial Revolution that occurred in the 800s, such as factories, labor, poverty, illnesses, and buildings that flourished thanks to the growing overpopulation in the cities: orphanages, workhouses, brothels, bad affairs alleys and so on.

Let me show you some pictures from Fable III's Bowerstone to see what I mean:

[Image: fable_3_bowerstone_industrial_environmen...516c74.jpg]
[Image: latest?cb=20110302162316]

This would be a great expansion for the release of some things people have been demanding for a while, such as:
- Machinery mounts
- Trains and railways
- A more 'dark' feel

As for 'where' this could be taking place, the best I can think of is a country under Imperial control, that is slowly flourishing with the new technology, though also meeting the issues typical of an Industrial Revolution, from over-exploit of the natural resources, pollution, bad working conditions, child labor, etc.
