We have plenty of protagonist hair already. I don't think all of the Au Ra hair is bad, but that one in particular is what I consider to be the worst offender. It's just... too much somehow.

 

Which is odd, because a lot of other things are really understated in this game. I get what they are going for, and it's a business after all. It is what it is, I won't lose any sleep over it at the end of the day. Definitely not going to stand around and argue about it, that's for sure.

 

Tomorrow I'll be able to mess with the CC. So I'm quite happy with that at least!

Nothing wrong with Shonen, but a whole race dedicated to it is just an odd decision, when they could have just as easily add anime inspired options to the current races and Au Ra in addition to more toned down (for male) and stronger/aggressive (for female) option. Sure, they're targeting a popular demographic, but they're also blatantly ignoring others, and that doesn't fly in an MMO lauded for accessibility and fun for raiders and casual players. If you happen to like reptilian/demon inspired aesthetics and aren't a fan of shonen? Tough.

The Au Ra are available tomorrow?

 

The benchmark program is supposed to be launched tomorrow. Within it will be character creation for Au Ra, just as there was character creation for the benchmark before ARR was launched initially back in the day. If it works as before, you should be able to create a character and save it as a profile that you'll be able to use in the actual game when Heavensward actually launches.

 

Apparently the naming rules aren't gonna be in it, though? Sad.

Oh, and how do I do this benchmark thing? Is there a link with an explanation somewhere? Sorry for the noobish questions. :3

I'm sure it'll be linked somewhere on these forums as soon as it's available. It'll be something you need to download and run separately, but for now, it's just an announcement that it'll be here soon and we twiddle our thumbs until it exists.

Could be worse... Could be World of Warcraft textures.

 

Yeah.... My thoughts too, or SWTOR. As much as I enjoyed both games. 

 

Meena:

Sadly PS3 support eliminates that. Until PS3 support is gone, we wont be getting any re-textures.

I totally forgot about that. D:

Cool, thanks. ^^

I might reactivate my account and make me an Au Ra then.

I like it, so no. As I've said earlier, it's cool to see a race appealing to shonen anime.

 

Why is it cool? The game is obviously not supposed to be shonen anime. There's Dragonball Xenoverse for that.

Final Fantasy is still anime-inspired, and each race has something that appeals to various people's tastes. Au Ra brings in something new that appeals to a new group of people without stepping outside the original concept of the anime-inspired franchise.

 

It is totally alright that you don't like it. But there's no need to deny it to others, just because it doesn't fit your personal taste.

You don't need an active account to use the benchmark.

 

Oh... too late, just reactivated it. xD

 

You should take the time to get caught up on story content then, as the new Heavensward areas won't be accessible without having cleared the MSQ through Before the Fall!
