Ah. I stand corrected then.
Design wise, I have no qualms. I, like others, expected that perhaps the horns were a feature separate from the face. But as the horns themselves are a kind of major facial structure, I can understand the reasoning.
There will always be the desire to want 'more' out of things.
The design concepts and works fit within the context of the game, and its artistic style. Too bestial, and they literally become a beast-men race. At this point, they skirt that line enough not to.
I realize this disappoints a number of individuals who prefer more Western-inspired design choices - however Square Enix has made some pretty cut-and-dry definition choices between Beast Tribes and the more 'human' tribes.
Au Ra may be the last race we get, and if not, I do not expect any future races to stray much further from human than Au Ra has.
