Will we ever get a version that isn't petite and demure...?
It's been a hot topic since Au Ra were added to the game a decade ago, and everyone is probably sick to death of hearing about their concept art, but... I refuse to let it go, they were so close to (my) ideal! That the devs seemingly found even the much more sensible size difference in this official(!) render insufficient galls me to no end...
Miqo'te players now have a more imposing alternative in the form of female Hrothgar, but short of making as androgynous a male as you can muster (and believe me, I've tried), no such option exists for female Au Ra... In an ideal world, Au Ra would've been given the Hyur treatment of markedly different clans from the start and thus satisfied a wider variety of player preferences but, alas, that was not the case...
Now, I... actually have no clue how they might realistically provide us with this hypothetical alternative, especially since the size difference is cemented in Au Ra lore... besides adding an entirely separate reptilian/draconic race (Meracydian, perhaps?), that is, but I suspect the overlap would have a lot of players think it's a waste of dev time and resources more than anything...
Thoughts? Ideas...?
