    On a more serious note, most of the beast tribes in the game are established as such before the quests become available. There are typically good and bad/tempered factions; areas on the world map allocated for each of the respective tribes, and a diety/primal they worship. Moogles would be the exception as a tribe of hostile moogles are not really found in the open world. They're kind of a blend of both good and bad honestly as both ill and good intent come out cute with them.

    Tonberries just don't fit in with that theme. With the current beast tribes, we tend to be a part of preventing an unfavorable fate headed their way. With Tonberries, the poor guys are already the victims of said fate.
    Beeeaaas--- *gets tonberry stabbed*

    Haha Namazu I think about specifically when you say preventing something from happening lol. That fire wipe away was cute :3. But wouldn't the moogle also be an example of building something up, lining up with the idea of helping rebuild Nym or at least some portion of it for the Tonberry's hopeful cure? With the moogles we were basically helping them take care of the land, which they were uh.. so.. so.. great at yeah.. XD. Appears that moogles make up many exceptions to the expectations lol.

    Not that I'm saying they have to be called beastmen, I think a triple triad card used to call them beastmen but was changed to manlike perhaps to smooth out lore (appears at least from digging through the wiki). I'm just saying I'd like to see them under the beastmen system, mostly at least - I think the word beastmen at this point is fairly loose and is more like "looks different" or perhaps "third world, not as civilized as us" (like a Pocahontas setting where he calls them savages and she is like "u wot?" lol). Since most of the unique distinctions besides looks seem to be at this point remove-able or very ignore-able and minor. Like one of the more unique issues is primals but we've been shown with enough energy we can become and create primals like the knights of the round, shiva, pheonix, etc. Imo it seems our star signs maybe something like that (there is a minor quest were some people talk about summoning Rhalgr), maybe with shadowbringer coming even our service to the crystal was all a bunch of "would you kindly" lol. WoL can't be tempered because they're already tempered.. :O (I know it's the echo, but could also be an echo aka already brain washed lol)
