Hello, hopefully this post won't come up as too dumb for even asking.
But i really wish next expansion would try to include more Au Ra NPCs into the main story, as i feel they've been kinda under represented, or worse, most of the ones that appear throughout quest die.
-Yugiri was the first Au Ra character to appear in the story, but her relevance to the MSQ is very minimal most of the time, and in Stormblood, she sadly doesn't tag along with us that much despite a lot of the promotional art giving her a big focus.
-Most Xaela characters are usually relegated to the Azim Steppe, having only very sparce instances of Xaela NPC outside it.
-The sorrow of Werlyt had a big focus Au Ra NPCs, but sadly, it came at the cost of having to see most of them die
-Ahewann is initially shown as a possible important Au Ra NPC, and one in a leading position too! Which was exciting, but sadly, he dies too.
-One could count Varshahn, but to be honest it feels like a cop-out answer as hisbody is just a vessel and not actually an Au Ra
Now Dawntrail has a big focus on a region where there isn't a single Au Ra to be seen, which while i can 100% understand, i think it's a shame we don't have a single recurring Au Ra character to hang out with. So my hope (or wish) is that hopefully in the post-MSQ or simply the next expansion, more Au Ra characters can be presented to give representation of the race. As the few ones we have either have been written out of the story like Yugiri, or have been killed.
Mind you, this is not a criticism towards Dawntrail for their complete lack of them, but just my wishful thinking as i am a huge Au Ra nerd and i kinda wish we were given more love in the MSQ
