Beast Tribes of Eorzea discussion (Potential Spoilers)

[Dualblade]

To be fair what gets classified as a Beast Tribe seems completely arbitrary. Mamool Ja are Beastmen but Au Ra aren't, Sylphs are a Beast Tribe but not Lalafell, etc.

If I'm correct, in 1.0 all the playable races were under the umbrella term "Human", while in 2.0 its essentially the same but changed to "Spoken" or some such. Regardless the 5 (now 6) races all have enough similarities with each other and common enough in how they percieve the world to not percieve each other as something of a completely different species. As well the 6 also seems to have some degree of interbreedability available (Hyur/Elezen shown with Hilda, and if I remember right the Miqo'te girl that sometimes shows up in Idylshire is actually half-Miqo'te half-Lalafell.) At the very least while it isn't always the most well looked upon its easier to accept then, say, Roegadyn/Amal'jaa.

And of course atleast as far as Au Ra goes, the Ishgardians probably almost did classify them as a Beast Tribe/put them under the Dragon Beast Tribe, to be exterminated.

That is a miqote child, is not half lalafell.

I just remember the last time I saw any talk bout the kid was some speculation that she mighta been half-lalafell. Either way its probably possible.

Another thing to point out, in XI apparently the Mithra and Galka had the lowest Charismatic score of the playable characters, in part because they looked a bit more like the Beast Tribes (as they certianly looked a bit more beastly then our Miqo'te and Roegadyns.)
