OMG yes, yes, and more yes! lol
This brings up a good question, where the hell are the Goblin Butcher models, you know, the ones with the armor. Everything just the same in this game <___>

It would be fun to see other types of Goblins. :) I also have a few ideas for little side-quests or missions that could lead up to the battle with the infamous thief gang, the Goblin Airmen!
And maybe their arch-nemesis the Cactuar with their pointy needles could play a role as well. >:3
Haha, maybe I'll work on another picture tomorrow. I did however add the storyline idea into my blog-post. *__*
I could even see the Goblin Airmen become a recurring quest/NM for Final Fantasy XIV. Final Fantasy XI had amazing quest-lines such as the Star Onion Brigade and Babban Ny Mheillea.
The confrontation with these tricksy goblins could be a fun distraction and they could turn up every now and then when you least expect them.
You could have challenging battles, lovely rewards, funny comedic scenes and maybe even an ally in the end who helps you ally with the beastmen and confront the empire.
Build, expand, share!
Go Buttons, Go!
P.S. Make a Tarutron picture please...
This idea really has me excited now haha. I can actually see the storyline, with those three clumsy yet crafty goblins and their antics. I can't help but feel that it would definately add some life to the game. Remember the funny taru triplets in Chains of Promathia? They always made me laugh, these goblins could fulfill a similar role.
It could start as only a few quests or missions but as the game grows the developers could always involve the goblin trio into the storyline again.
The name is also open for suggestions, I liked the suggestion of Goblin Balloon Brigade. :D
Ooh and I see the OP has even more info in it now, good job. :D
Where does the assembly of the 5 Tarus that form up Tarutron come into this story? ;=;
Well, the Goblin Balloon Brigade did pilfer valuables from a very influential Lalafell family in Uldah. It is this family that first contacts you. So you get to meet new awesome Lalafell NPC and then go on your journey to hunt down the goblins who keep evading you. Not only do they always manage to be a step ahead of you, they pilfer from Limsa, Gridania and even Ishgard. They are a real pest.
Somehow their balloons have an odd enchantment protecting them, so you have difficulties confronting them. Your Lalafell employer then mentions the rumours of a little Cactuar community that the goblins despise. You find these Cactuars and are astounded that they can actually communicate with you, but it should have been logical since you have the power of the echo! A young cactuar agrees to accompany you and aid you in bringing down their pesky balloons. (Or he just gives you a special needle. xD)
Maybe the only way to battle the Goblin Airman would be to steal a Garlean flying ship that you fight in the R46 mission!
Air battle like Ultima/Omega FFXI sea unlock BCNM!
