The Au Ra Experience

After making The Miqo'te Experience, it's finally time to continue this series by talking about the second most popular race, I guess you can hazard a guess for the next episode but before that I'll be working on the next This is: XXX and we'll see where we go from there. But thank you so much for watching, I hope you enjoy this video, and I will see you on the next video or the next stream! :O

Playing a Min-height Male Au Ra because I like having a normal looking sprint animation

[@justins7933]

does that actually help? I have avoided playing them because of that specific reason. their sprint animation just kills my soul

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Never thought that, that would make a big difference

[@uwu-cx2yc]

​@@justins7933I imagine my au ra boy to be such a determined himbo like Kiryu Kazuma (from the Yakuza series & its memes) that he does everything he cares about with all his heart & dramatically, including running everywhere XD Also maybe since their body proportions are so exagerrated & they have painful extreme growth spurts, they run weirdly like raptors (cuz they look dino/reptillian kinda lol) They look cool & can act elegantly but the imperfections & extra dorkiness compared to most male races just makes them my fave :)

[@Stickarms99]

they're the best looking female race right next to miqo, hands down. imo

[@meakimon]

Yeah it's also funny that au ra was conceptualised around voidsent, not dragons. They used to look much more demonic in the concept art. Dang the concept art was cool! 😂

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

The concept art was cool, but I think they would suffer the same way as Viera and Hrothgar

[@Werepyres]

@@SamTheLemonBoy In what way is that? (new to this game)

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

@@Werepyres they would not be able to wear majority head pieces

[@BroadwayRonMexico]

There were two early concept arts for them. The first were 100% draconic (they looked like Argonians with different horns), and the second were bascially succubi. They ended up going with something more human-looking than either early concept, but with the other elements being something kinda ambiguously reptilian or voidsent (but not actually being either)

[@Dieci-9]

As a Male Au Ra I stand completely by what you said regarding horns being connected with the face and the animations. I...I just want my Male Au Ra to have the same animations that the Male Mikotes have. Mainly because as soon as I'm not wearing stuff that is skin tight, everything starts clipping through everything.

[@uwu-cx2yc]

The male au ra /blush emote is very animated & happy compared to the other boys' (seriously it's so cute I keep pausing at his shy smile 🥹), & they're the only boy to giggle evilly when they use /think - their /examineself & /laugh are also like cartoon villains' XD their emotes do a great job of diffusing the edge, especially the happy ones! Whenever he gets sad/smiles sadly he looks so sweet, like a facade had just dropped 🥺 One of my best experience ever is making a cute/hot m!au ra (face 1 has this Squirtle smile :> & hot /sneer), & then realizing how thicc their thighs are compared to almost all the girls & slenderer guys- I-😳

[@crowdemon_archives]

That one moment in EW, or rather, *after*. 😅 My ManRa just went from "extremely violated AAAAAAAAA" to "I'm back! >:D"

[@Enderlinkpawnu]

I must be a rarer breed of fem ra player for I 1. Have a max height female au ra 2. Use the fin horns (which are like, the second rarest of the horn options from my experience) 3. even if they delink the faces from the horns, I won’t change a thing about my character. I have come to accept that 95% of the emotions she feels is “silently waiting for the moment to kill you.”

[@cola_dreams]

SAME FOR #3 except my au ra is a male face 4 ,., any other face looked wrong on him lmao i enjoy his :[ mouth

[@squidpaladin]

ok but the fin horns are honestly ssoooooo pretty

[@leonie7754]

I play Au'ra because I like dragon girls. Very niche reason, though I fantasia'd to one literally the day HW launched - literally the day they first came out XD and i've never looked back. Usually the things I like aren't popular, so it's funny to see the race is second popular to catgirls. Shame no love for the scaly boys though; they are my favourite male race.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Male Au Ra are really cool but yeah their stereotype and animations kinda turn people off from doing that shit, but overall I think they are pretty cool, both male and female

The best part of playing Au Ra is when you play any class with a helmet/hat that has accessories on the sides and your horns inevitably clip straight through them. There are a few that don't and they actually complement the horns really nicely, but that's definitely the exception rather than the rule. No race is allowed to glam better than Hyur/Miqo'te apparently.

[@Pythonhier]

[@Isonade_Celica]

Made an Au Ra, my first character, was wholesome for… 2 weeks, now have an in game body count of 3 in the span of a few days. *I like it*

[@TheMistressMisery]

Been playing for a few years now, and my as-tall-as-they-get, big-horned female raen has been my fav girl. When I first made her, the big horns weren't that popular, everyone wanted the sleek backwards, or tsundere-faced forward facing horns. I refuse to acknowledge the flat horns...that face....*shudders* Anyway, nowadays, seeing so many wandering around with the big horns makes me happy, it really is the best face, you either get THE best RBF in the game (imo), or the kindest looking face. No in between. I picked RBF.

[@swordpetals]

As a fellow big horned fem au'ra player ive also noticed more people using them. It makes my little happy to see them out there and the cool aesthetics some have :) Hands down my favorite face of all the races, just wish we could select the horns just how bunnies can pick their ears

When i first got the game, I was looking through the races, and the Au Ra instantly grabbed me. I didn't even know they existed prior to playing, but I knew exactly what I was going to play.

I started as an Elezen but after trying a bunch of the races both male and female Au ra are my favorites to play and I go back and forth. When i play male Au ra i become actively more goofy and light hearted despite the serious appearance and when I play female Au ra I actually do more serious content and as such portray them as being more serious become most big fights I happen to be female au ra so more used to knowing that hitbox. Play what you enjoy and let any who complain keep shouting to no one.

Au Ra are one of those uncomfortable design choices conceptually -- not exactly the appeal of an anime humanoid with reptilian bits on them, and not the full-on commitment of something like a dragonborn, lizardfolk, or argonian. Just these awkward cosplayers with scales glued on their body at odd areas.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

They do have some awkwardness in terms of design but I suppose people kinda brushed it off because they think they're hot

[@uwu-cx2yc]

For male au ra at least while they are just humanized/himbofied argonians, they have weird body proportions (like tiny waist, long-ish torso, huge unga bunga arms, extra thick thighs with spindly legs) that are humanly impossible & make them look cartoonier (which I really like) than most of the slenderer humanoid races
