Final Fantasy XIV: Au Ra Race in Heavensward is Coming

By John Ryan2015-05-04

Since Au Ra is revealed in the 2014 Final Fantasy XIV Tokyo Fan Fest, it has more and more fans. Now the update day of Heavensward is sure on June 23rd, more details of Au Ra is coming out. With the official event “My Au Ra Twitter Campaign”, players can try out the new Au Ra character creation. Here is the information we got about the new race Au Ra.

FFXIV new race Au Ra

Au Ra is not a new race without history and origin. The curved horns and beautifully patterned scales that characterize the Au Ra oft give rise to speculation that this Hyur-like race native to the Far Eastern continent of Othard are, in fact, the progeny of dragons. This, however, has long been disputed, with scholars citing several distinct differences in the two races as evidence of decidedly dissimilar roots─the first and foremost being the enhanced hearing and spatial recognition granted by an Au Ra's cranial projections (traits not attributed to draconian horns), and the second being the gross disproportion in body mass between Auri males and females (again, a trait widely unseen in dragons). By the way, Yugiri is the first Au Ra shown in game.

The same as other races, Au Ra also has 2 clans, named Raen and Xaela.

l  Raen

Auri creation myth tells of a Dawn Father and a Dusk Mother from whom all Au Ra are descended. The Raen believe their veins to run thick with the blood of the former—their brilliant white scales and iron wills serving as proof of this divine lineage.

Unlike their sister clan, the Xaela, who bloody the land with their endless tribal conflict, the Raen have embraced a life of tranquility and solitude, long abandoning the nomadic lifestyle of their ancestors to settle the deep valleys of Othard's mountainous eastern reaches. Only on rare occasions will one emerge from the valley mists to seek adventure in realms afar.

l  Xaela

Auri creation myth tells of a Dawn Father and a Dusk Mother from whom all Au Ra are descended. The Xaela believe their veins to run thick with the blood of the latter—their lustrous black scales and fiery wills serving as proof of this divine lineage.

Unlike their sister clan, the Raen, who lead solitary lives hidden behind the savage peaks of Othard's eastern reaches, the Xaela are free spirits who roam the vast western steppe in close-knit tribes hunting, gathering, and warring as their ancestors have for countless generations.

When Au Ra firstly came out in 2014, there were many doubts about its appearance. But now you can create your own Au Ra. It is really designed by heart, as the Au Ra looks elegant and exquisite. The detail that goes into their scales and extremities is extraordinary. As an example, the tail shape and length varies, with four tail styles, but that’s only the start. The face options have four different kinds of horns and scale patterns, and there are five different scale types which can all be enabled or disabled to create a pleasing design. There are even limbal rings around the iris that can be enabled on one, both, or neither eyes, with the player able to determine the color. Every detail is so attractive.
