Being galka, I cant bend down far enough to notice taru faces, let alone their gear.

Heh, perhaps the fella got tired of the wind (it's a relatively open area after all).
Or mayhap a new way to entice people to ask questions, and thus give a window of opportunity to reel them in for the services of A.M.A.N., oo-ho-ho~ (or alternatively, keep the pesky adventurers off).
One can only guess, but here is a picture from somewhere around 2006:

When nobody else is doing Walk of Echoes, Kopua-Mobua does it. He is the most interesting Taru in Vana'diel.
(That's where the mask comes from)

Might as well ask, but you didn't dat swap anything recently did you? The dats for gear apply to npcs as well.
I can verify that it is not a .DAT swap: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9265420/smilodon.PNG

So that's what the devs have been working on. It all makes sense now.

Time for the devs to modify yet another single random NPC in the game and place their bets on how many days before someone notices.

Nope, no dat swapping, I forgot a warp scroll recently and ran to the artisan moogle to get one, and was like... um.... HUH!?

They give the guy a mask but still won't give Lageegee a stool to stand on when she's handing out Assault missions.

That was my first thought when i read the OP! They do this, but they wont give the tarus that need them any stools to stand on. I'm ashamed of this Dev team now...
Support the Taru's !!! (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/4662-Give-a-taru-a-leg-up!!)
