Beast Tribe in SB?

Year ago, I was new to the late Heavensward.

I don't see Beast Tribe dailies in StormBlood
Is next patch we get Beast Tribe, really?

Yes, really.

I don't understand why there has not been any beast tribe right at SB launch.
If this goes on like this, at next expansion, we will have only a part of the story lmao and we will have to wait 2 weeks to see its end.

It seems we only have two tribes right now ? Am i right ?

I could see the Namazu being the third tribe.

They'd probably get along well with the Kolin, what with them both having a mind for business, and maybe they'd turn to the Ananta for jewelry to sell come the inevitable quest chain where the beast tribes meet.

The Kojin, Namazu, Lupin and the Vira are potential candidates, with the Kojin and the Vira having their respective counterparts already at specific places on the map (Isle of Zekki and Djanan Qhat) and having tussled already with their primals.

As the Moogles don't really were a beast tribe, I could see something different for crafters, like that little destroyed village close to Domna castle.

Namazu have themselves comfortably set up at Yazaku Manor in Yanxia, with a merchant and mender just like the other friendly beast settlements. All signs point to them being the third tribe of SB.

Sui-no-Sato could fill in a slot of some sort of specialty quest line, too.

I'd personally like to see Sui-no-Sato or a Xaela tribe, even if they aren't actually beastmen.

Playing the same game for two whole weeks? The horror.

I dont really get what you are trying to tell us, since beast tribes never were on launch before.

Pretty much this. BTs have never been around for launch.

Oh. My bad, you're right. Vath, Vanu Vanu and Moogle appeared in 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 patches.
I thought there was at least Vath and Vanu Vanu at launch.

There wasn't any tribe quest at HW too. Beast tribe quests only appear in sub-patch. If they give us everything at the release of the expansion we will be bored for the 2 next year.

The tribes are already there, Anananta (sorry probably not spelled correctly) and the Ninja Turtles. My guess is a few patches from now.
I wish it would have been at launch

Lupin aren't a beast tribe though. They are just regular citizens of Doma.

Kojin and Ananta for sure. i would say Ananta being the crafting one.

i think Lupin are the 3rd and they are beasts.

I could see a lot of candidates. There are Kojin, Namazu, Lupin, and Ananta. I haven't met the Vira yet. There was a mention that Ananta make jewelry. They could be the crafting beast tribe.

It would also be nice to finally have a gathering beast tribe. Considering we learn spear-fishing at Tamamizu, maybe the Kojin would give us that.

The Vira are Ananta. That's just the name of their clan that's pro-rebellion.

Actually doing some beast tribe style quests with all the various Xeala tribes would be much more attractive than the catfish people.

I would MUCH rather help my friends in the Mol than the greedy, backstabbing fishes.

The Namazu at the manor are actually quite nice. I enjoyed their quests. And danke, thank you for clarifying.

Though the obvious question here between normal beast tribes and working for the Xaela tribes is, why not both? :D

They would have to massively increase our beast tribe allowances or just make the Xaela stuff actual dailies, but it would be pretty neat to do things for them as well as beast tribes.

We're most likely gonna get those Kojin (or as I like to call them Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) tribe quests in 4.1 and the Ananta tribe quests in 4.2

they could do both. i've always wanted them to do quests for the Class/Job Guilds or other in-game factions that's not GC and Beast Tribes.

Well, they where after all, heroes in a half shell.

Would be nice if Qiqirn finally got the spotlight.
Namazu would be... disappointing...

Well if we can go off the fact the Beast Tribes are usually associated with Primals.
Like Vanu/Vath, we can go by the TMNT and Lamia's to be the next ones up.

There's not enough Lupin or notable Lupins to give us a tribe imo.
The Catfish things could be a funny pick too.

Nasty thieving giant rat people. ...


Kojin better give me my striped ray mount.. , I'd be shocked if this wasn't their max rep mount.

And I want to dress up like a giant squeaky fish person, far more than i wanted to dress up like a fat bird or bug.
Ananta might end up being a crafting daily considering how much they stressed their DoH skillssssssss.

And I'll have to be prepared to rage at more flying fish...
Separate flying and swimming mounts, plz.

Or at least put rockets on it or something.

with a folding out food tray for long journeys - like to the next npc a couple of meters away.

Next primal :
- Shinryu EX (4.1)
- Qiqirn (4.2) --> ??? [Thunder / Earth] (or Darkness)
- Namazu (4.3) --> ??? [Water / Ice] (a new Bismarck is possible but from ocean this time)
- Lupin (4.4) --> ??? [Fire / Wind] (I think we could see a new Fenrir here)
- Xaela Ao Ra (4.5) --> Azim [Light, maybe Fire] / Nhaama [Darkness, maybe Water]

Kojin mount just have to play this theme :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bojx...DQMOW7ZaKLOASo

I'm excited for the Ananta Beast Tribes!! I can't wait to learn more about them, and I hope theyre crafting so that I can level my crafters the easy way! Wonder what their mounts will be? I was thinking the Elephants that they have running around near their base?

What I'd like it to be:
* Lupin & Ananta -> DoW/DoM
* Kojin -> DoH
* Namazu/Rebuilding Doma -> DoL

What I think it'll be:
* Ananta & Kojin -> DoW/DoM
* Namazu -> DoH

I'd say that the Ananta, with their focus on crafting jewelry, would be natural for crafting quests.

However, I find it far more likely that SE will follow Stormblood's pattern, and the two races that we got Primals for will also be the two races that give us DoM/DoW quests.

Who will be the crafting beast tribe, I don't know; probably Namazu, but they could throw us a curveball and make it the Lupin.

Honestly, I think it'd be nice if we got four DoM/DoW tribes, as we did in ARR - but I doubt that'll happen.

As for the original post, SE doesn't want to add every part of the expansion at the same time, both because trying to develop it all at once would be a nightmare, and also so that players have something new to look forward to with each major patch. It's not at all surprising that we didn't get the Beast Tribe quests first-thing!

Don't think there was one at HW launch either. This isn't new.

It's possible to make content not boring for two whole years. SSBM is like a 15 year old game no patches 100,000s of people still play that game.

If only there was maybe a good PVP and fights that were different each time you did them like I dunno a randomly generated fight you have to react to.

I think Azim and Nhaama may be bastardisations of Azeyma and Menphina or Nymeia.

This.

Not sure why people are surprised about it in SB.

The Anata's area has a special marker on the map. So do the Red Kojin. I'm guessing these will be the [main] beast tribes for Stormblood. If you go back and look, all the beast tribes with DoW/M quests have markers on the maps. Also, all of these tribes have another common trait: a primal associated with them.
With the possibility of the Namazu being crafters; just like the Moogles and Ixali (also lacking a marker on the map).
It seems, at the moment, that the Lupin may fall on the wayside of the Mamool- mercenaries in the area. We've already seen the one Lupin in Namai be the exception and not the rule for the race. I can't imagine a beast tribe daily springing from them when it was emphasized that they served Doma as retainers and emphasized how honorable it had been for them, only bending the knee to Garleans unwillingly.

However, yes, as it's been pointed out, we've not had beast tribe quests start from the beginning of any of the games (ARR and HW). There'd be no reason to expect different.

I can see Lupin and namazu beign tied to the reconstruction of the doman enclave with the non beast tribes like the plaza we rebuilt in the churning mists
