Yugiri has been in the game since, what, 2.1 or 2.2? We all knew she was going to be the new race, so it wasn't like it was a big surprise when it was announced. The only speculation was whether she had ears or horns (which we now know were horns), and just by looking at her you could easily see that her size is roughly between the average Miqo'te Female and the average Midlander Female, making them rather petite and slender in frame.
Anyone who expected Roegadyn Females with horns needs to get their head out of their ass and pay more attention, at BEST we would have just got both genders being tiny. I'd much rather have it this way.
I don't think anyone was expecting female Au Ra to be like roegadyn women. If anything, I would say people weren't expecting male Au Ra to be so much taller and more muscular than their female counterparts. Indeed, we knew more what a female Au Ra would look like than a male one. If male Au Ra were lithe and petite like the females were, then no one would be bringing up sexual dimorphism. Instead, male Au Ra are tall and muscular, the opposite of the females. The reason why the female gender is so much more focused in discussion is because of its negative implications.
Also, I think people who wanted the females to be bulkier are thinking more of female highlanders than female roegadyns. At the very least, considering the men look pretty muscular, I think people would have at least liked it if the females looked toned/physically fit.
