    Fair points on everything else, but I was talking about the tattoos here. Why are they being used by Garleans and are we supposed to read anything into it, or was it just a meaningless decoration they reused because it was "ready to go" instead of making a new design?

    (But then again, half the Xaela tribes are wearing Ala Mhigan or Thavnairian gear, so it seems the costumes represent whatever context they've been placed into, rather than being held fast to their original design intent...)

    In the case of the Ivalice NPCs they're also actors and that can factor in too. But it's most likely what you said. Still, the fact remains these models were the ones used, while we very rarely (or at all) see the starting sets, which are the ones with the stronger lore argument
