Future Beast Tribe suggestion: Shumi / Moomba

I would absolutely adore seeing this race being added to FFXIV in the future. I feel it's such an underappreciated culture that was added to FFVIII and while chatting in my FC, everyone present agreed that they would be cool, so... just wondering what everyone else's thoughts are on this. Obviously won't be anytime soon but hey, don't ask, don't get.

For those unaware, the Shumi are a small tribe in FFVIII which live on a specific island. They look like old wise men with massive hands. The cool thing about them (aside from them really nailing the wise/peaceful vibe) is that at some point in their lives they "evolve" into a creature that reflects how they lived. This is the source of Moomba in FFVIII. However, there are always some bad eggs, so that's how we got NORG. I think that this would just really fit into a nice cubby hole within FFXIV without breaking immersion.

Also, Moomba minion, how can you not want that?

I would love a Moomba minion. :D

I don't think the race is popular enough to warrant inclusion as a beast tribe but I could see a minion being added to the Gold Saucer or veteran rewards.

I want Orcs from XI, and since its been rumoured we're going to Ala Mhigo in 4.0, it would make sense to add them due to the mountainous like area. Not sure how they would fit in Lore Wise though, I'm no developer I just really liked the XI design of Orcs!

Given the course SE has taken we will get a pokemon beat tribe soon.
