I will admit, when I very first saw the female Au Ra I was also disappointed in how similar to the female hyurs looked, but I reminded myself that they have a dragon theme tied into them; From what I heard via rumours, they were the result of mating/merging/goodness knows what with dragons, so I understand I suppose. (Perhaps that counts as the lore making up for it to me, if the rumours are true?) Really, the only reason it'd've disappointed me is because I keep one of every race on my playable roster and I don't like having duplicates. :B
But I do believe that the males look a bit different than the elezen males, if only because I find the elezen race to be anatomically lanky and a bit awkward. As someone who studies realistic art, hrrngh their heads and proportions... shoving the thought into the back of my mind as, "Shush A'toli, it's a fantasy race, they're not humans" helps. Back on track to the male Au Ra, wow. I'm pretty pumped to see their character creation, same goes for the females (but perhaps a tweensy bit less so).
Edited to chop up a run-on sentence, holy cow.
