If I stab a dragon, they die. If I stab an Au Ra, they die. And you are telling me that they are somehow not dragons when they poses such similarities, heretic? -Ishgard
My personal favorite Xaela tribe is the Kha Tribe. Their cultural quirk is... a *cultural* quirk. The Kha seek out the culture and practices of other tribes and nations, then come back to their tribe and go "Hey! These people over there do this cool thing in their culture! Maybe we should too!" Then they adopt the practices they find the most advantageous or interesting, making them a kind of oddball melting pot of ideas from all over.
I used the randomizer to name my Xaela lad, which made him an Oroq. When I looked up the lore, I was initially disappointed to see all that was known about the Oroq was that they made reed sleds. Then I read some of the lore mentioned here and realized I’d really dodged a bullet. 😂
I like how you say the Buduga are normal when they're anything but, lol. They are male-only tribe and kidnap young men and boys from other tribes to increase their numbers, since they can't exactly birth new kids. They're the ones that tried to abduct Hien in the MSQ, to try and initiate him into their ranks, due to him being such a good fighter.
Personally, since heavensward talk about children between man and dragon, and the au ra came out in the same expac, i feel like the real truth is that they are truly children of dragons, but the in game lore purposefully gives a "scientific explanation" of their origins but thats just my head canon
Shadowbringers pretty much confirms they're not dragon-related though. They're one of the major races of Norvrandt in The First (Voeburt was mostly Dran/Au Ra), which would be impossible if they were part-dragon, since dragons only exist in The Source The first Au Ra were probably made by some Ancient as their familiars, given that (based on some bits of Elpis dialog), "humans with a few beastlike traits" seems to be a common familiar template in Amaurot
@@BroadwayRonMexicoong actually. The races of the sundered were formed possibly years after the sundering, the new races manifesting from wobbling confused misshapen zombie-like beings. This was confirmed in the Nier:Reincarnation x FFXIV crossover event, which retells parts of Emet's past, including the moment after the sundering took place. Also that part about Elpis is directly connected to Beast Tribes, not the man-races of Eorzea. Au Ra are Au Ra, but you could argue that they're Etheirys-native dragon-men. The concept art, timing of their arrival (HW), their lore comparisons to the alien dragon-species and their naming in The First "Drahen" is very indicative towards that.
@@paledrake I wouldn't waste my time arguing it people are going to make the world and it's inhabitants the way they want to see them regardless of how anyone else wants to see it, we can't have dragon people purely because they have a few traits not found on "Pure Dragons" even if they share the traits of horns, scales, and a tail that resemble the style of a dragon, but we can have cat girls that have no shared qualities with a feline other than their eyes, ears, and tail that's fine because cat girls are popular and more people want them to be cat people instead whether lore supports it or not, so you should do the same, its a role playing game, if you want yours to be a dragon it's a dragon, you want yours to be a lizard it's a lizard, just enjoy the game, just a slight correction, they are "Drahn" in the first, not "Drahen"
Another very nice video with sooo good editing, information and jokes. I really love your videos and enjoy them a lot. Please keep up the good work! ❤️
Hold up there buddy ☝😎 ‼I heard from a genius lifter (Me) that all Au Ra males are degenerates. My source is valid as it was written down in a book I read 📕 (I'm the one who wrote it down 😎) For real though, brilliant video. The editing is top notch, the humour is REALLY great. Default Dance, Yoda Death Scream, FINALLY, and when you break narration laughing at the word LORE will always get me. P.S. Sydonic sounds like Heisenberg from Resident Evil Village too 😎(That is meant to be a compliment 🤣)
I play an Au ra myself, and at first with their scales I thought they were fish people, then dragons. So my Au ra is a fishdragon lady with a little bit of wtf thrown in there for good measure
As a Xaela Auri girl myself, I am forever disappointed that the game doesn't talk about the Piss Drinkers and Horse Fuckers. Truly an opportunity missed.
My Au Ra is from the Ura tribe in the mountains north of the steppe who mine in the peaks and bring the ore down to trade for supplies so basically im a trained arms dealer from birth :D also i like to "joke" about how good the rocks taste
the Xaela tribe I ended up with from the name generator was "Dalamiq" and I didn't know that they used to worship Dalamud, which is fitting because I had dyed my Chocobo's feathers Dalamud red. Anyway great video I never realized how deep the lore went with the Au'ra names.
Out here delivering that juicy lore about the best race in the game while throwing in some Magnai Fortnite dancing and IM A BIRD jokes cause why the hell not. May the steppe mommy guide you
My first character was Xaela, and from the random name button got "Ura" for her last name... I, being a wow refugee, then proceded to make alts (like oh I'm playing Ujin with my friend, I'll make another character to play when she's offline ... and that alt became the main) who all had the last name. When I found out they were tribal names, I was kinda like okay, this is cool... I guess my WoL is adopted by this tribe rather than the Mol. -nods- that's my head cannon and I'm sticking to it
Can the Qestir write letters? As they believe all words to be lies, does that include written words? Are Qestir letters to each other just drawings or flipbooks?
😅 holy crab for a long time i thought they related to dragon or dragonkin or draconian Seems ima stay roegadyn no change to xaela 🤔 Thank you for info and have good days 🍻👍
To be honest I believe they created this race to have some race that is not Dragon but resembles them in some aspects like scales horns and tails it takes more than that to be a dragon though
Kinda weird that the piss clan are the most tame non passive clan of the xaela but then again if i had to choose between the eternal suffering that is vow of silence or horse marriage... im choosing piss drinking lmao
surely the goro tribe has a perfectly fine and healthy cultural behavior
healthy like a horse
It's the perfect tribe for that degenerate Vaush.
"Fuck it. We ball." Ah yes, the Xaela mindset.
If I stab a dragon, they die. If I stab an Au Ra, they die.
And you are telling me that they are somehow not dragons when they poses such similarities, heretic? -Ishgard
Ah, your family must also be made up of dragons.
As a Xaela myself, yes my people are weird and probably all insane, I love them for that lol.
i agree however we aren’t gonna talk about the horse tribe..
Horo tribe represent!
You and me both brother
The xaela are canonically having a competition to see who can survive in the weirdest places in the dumbest ways

thats what my country does actually LMAO
Sounds like the Romans
The lizzers most likely to see garlean war machines / firearms and think “I want seven.”
@@williek08472 these guys are about to do a remake of the Mongolian empire, Roman style.
So america?

Until yoship finally says why, my headcanon is that the limbal rings help with underwater vision
The twins bit got me good, huge bottom text LORE moment
Never knew this much could be said about just one race, that is really cool!
Raen are also excellent candidates for child soldiers and mech pilots apparently, thanks Werlyt!
Yeeeeeeeee, that was a thing that happened, wasn't it ...

lol
My man spitting straight up FACTS over here!
hey Naahma, the allagans wanna put a dragon orb and a magitek fortress into the sky.
nhaama: "FUCK IT WE BALL"
As a Xaela myself I can confirm we crank 90s on eachother constantly

Awww man I love the vibe of your videos!
Keep up the good work!!
Oronir for life. I continue to pray for brother Magnai to one day find his Nhaama.
I'm so glad I found this channel. I can't wait to see what else you got cooking up
Oh, this is the race I picked! I wonder what their deal is lore wise! *cut to the end of the video*..... What the hell did I sign up for? 🤣
Your editing skills are amazing! Can't wait for your next upload
Another very nice video with sooo good editing, information and jokes. I really love your videos and enjoy them a lot. Please keep up the good work! ❤️
Your content is amazing, I hope to see more XIV stuff, because this was awesome.
Lmao incredible editing, you go above and beyond any other XIV tuber I see, amazing
Love the video, please do Miqo'tes next!! Also love the subtle Genshin Impact music in the background~
Love the video and the amazing editing and comedy can't wait for more
Brother you better make more videos because I discovered you yesterday and you can't just leave people hanging with this high a quality.
Scien I love this Video!!! Learned a lot about the lore of XIV too! Keep up the great work dude! 😁👍
proud to be an au ra-ican

thank mr sufferhymn. ill certainly be asking u as a source on male vieras when the time comes.
I play an Au ra myself, and at first with their scales I thought they were fish people, then dragons. So my Au ra is a fishdragon lady with a little bit of wtf thrown in there for good measure
LETS GOOOOOO
As a Xaela Auri girl myself, I am forever disappointed that the game doesn't talk about the Piss Drinkers and Horse Fuckers. Truly an opportunity missed.
Ngl i was already planning to make an au'ra when I started but those eye rings made it an instant yes
My Au Ra is from the Ura tribe in the mountains north of the steppe who mine in the peaks and bring the ore down to trade for supplies so basically im a trained arms dealer from birth :D also i like to "joke" about how good the rocks taste
"Not dragons"
*Varshahn has entered the chat*
the Xaela tribe I ended up with from the name generator was "Dalamiq" and I didn't know that they used to worship Dalamud, which is fitting because I had dyed my Chocobo's feathers Dalamud red. Anyway great video I never realized how deep the lore went with the Au'ra names.
I almost changed my Raen to a Xaela after seeing the Mol, but i just love the beige scales too much 😂
Looking forward to more FF vids. Keep it up!
the point of not being dragons is culturally incorrect in practice, we're 100% Dragon whenever it gets us past the bouncer.
So basically theres a clan of au ra that are just hardcore bronies
XAELA AU RA CHADS AND CHADETTES RISE UP
you called brother
I finally made an au ra red mage
That fortnite dance was extremely cursed. And i love it.
I have learned so much about Au'ra but I have gained no respect for their kind.
RESPECT THAT SIGMA FEMRA GRINDSET MATTY!!!!!!
@@marsy-chan2476 Femras get some slack.
be wary the gil grindset femras
3:36 Just like me for real
We just wanna chill
and farm glamour.
Ayy awesome video! I found you on twitter and really loved this video, defiently gonna sub and look forward top your next videos
Out here delivering that juicy lore about the best race in the game while throwing in some Magnai Fortnite dancing and IM A BIRD jokes cause why the hell not. May the steppe mommy guide you
“Fuck it we ball” earned my sub
Gotta give it to the Tumet tribe. Imagine walking in the grass land and finding a bunch of dead kids tried to a tree.
My Xaela is on her way to becoming a samurai.
My first character was Xaela, and from the random name button got "Ura" for her last name... I, being a wow refugee, then proceded to make alts (like oh I'm playing Ujin with my friend, I'll make another character to play when she's offline ... and that alt became the main) who all had the last name.

You call them "Cranial Projections" I call them "Coat Hangers"
Not sure why i found this a year late but can you do the other races?
Can the Qestir write letters? As they believe all words to be lies, does that include written words?
Are Qestir letters to each other just drawings or flipbooks?
1:35 Ohey Scribe lol.
IMA BIRD AHAA AHAA
"I will the finish the rest in a bit"
lol, still no idea where to find the art in the thumbnail.
Yo this video is great but I gotta ask... do you have a specific shader preset you use for gshade?
just put a link in the description. its a custom preset i put together based on others.
@@Scien thank you so much! I'm looking forward to your future videos!!!
appreciate it! got some stuff cookin up in the next few weeks.
comically explained. haha love it
WE! ARE! NOT! DRAGONS! For hydelaelyns sake, ishgard! *angry lizard girl noises *
we don’t talk about the horse one.
Had my WoL to be partly from Himaa tribe. She eventually gave birth to twins as well XD
Some of the best content here on TH-cam regarding FF14
It's a lizard. You can tell from3:03
😅 holy crab for a long time i thought they related to dragon or dragonkin or draconian
Seems ima stay roegadyn no change to xaela 🤔
Thank you for info and have good days 🍻👍
The My Little Pony reference got me laughing way too hard ... while at work.
To be honest I believe they created this race to have some race that is not Dragon but resembles them in some aspects like scales horns and tails it takes more than that to be a dragon though
What are you doing Steppe Bro/Sis?
I’ll still be dragons to me lol love them all the same so adorable little things I just want to hug them 😅
I play a Qestir… mostly cause I don’t really type in chat and I am amused by very dumb things.
You should make one for each race... like the miqo'te are considered a rare species... even though... cat girl... players... are... EVERYWHERE
This lore makes me sad.
WHY IS THE XAELA LORE SO UNHINGED???
good video.
Lalafell video when
"with extra steppes" .. get out.
felt attacked by the first line :(
Lies we are dragons!! Also look at that thick crocodile tail thats the only appropriate tail.
And we still have some races left to go over. I just made some tea :P
I think you could had summarized the Xaela much simpler: "F- it We ball"
Au Ra are the best!
4:34 But if they aren't dragons... how can they teach the gospel of dragon-girl superiority?
Nope, they aren't. This fact comes up a few times in a few different lore quests, including DRK's Job Quests.
I hear that Genshin music in the BG lol. Liyue theme best theme uwu
The Xaela reminded me of the Zulu…..
When will you upload again?
2:00 STOP AU RA HATE
Great video, now when are you playing genshin again? Don't think you can sneak that by me boy.
depends, are you paying for my next 5 star?
@@Scien if that's what it takes zaddy
Thankfully fate (Randomiser) gave me one of the more normal Xaela cultures, and my WOL is just an unabashed nudist~ 🌼
Please do Miqo'te next!!! ^_^
Kinda weird that the piss clan are the most tame non passive clan of the xaela but then again if i had to choose between the eternal suffering that is vow of silence or horse marriage... im choosing piss drinking lmao
I guarantee the Arulaq tribe was thought of extinct because the tribe was on the moon
Source: trust me
All I hear is small dragon cope and propeganda.
Who made the thumbnail art?
@audlo5 on twitter
what... no special note about the nudist tribe? -edit the Torgud-
They are not dragons.. they are crustaceans.
In all seriousness, the Goro do not have....relations with their horses.
Great video. I expected great things... no THE GREATEST OF THINGS to be said about lalafellin culture.
Otherwise you will be assimilated.
Reading???
