    Garleans are their own race though - Thats why they have the third eye on their foreheads. Any Hyuran soliders you see are conscripts from conquered territories so it would make no sense for a clan to be "Garlean"

    Otherwise...No, i would not want to see another clan being added. Why? Because the character creation is already so limited as it is, and i would wish to see them expand upon the current system before adding just another clan that would amount to little more than a slight colour variant, not to mention the lore implications.

    Interesting point on the Garleans. I'd always assumed they were just kind of a "pureblood/special breed of Hyur", but I suppose even Gosetsu appears human to me, even though he's Roegadyn. I suppose in a way, most of the races are all "kind of human" (save for Hrothgar now), so it's a tricky line to tow.

    An alternative Hyur clan might be to retroactively add a "Doman" clan? Maybe they're a touch taller than Midlanders and more lean (while still generally slender)? I was definitely surprised when I arrived, and all of the Hyur basically looked and spoke the same as Hyur from Eorzea. I could see giving them sharper, more "serious-looking" features, that might make kind of a cool new tribe.

    Either that, or maybe use it as an opportunity to introduce a a totally new region, maybe with more Middle-Eastern or African features? Taller than Midlanders, more slender than Highlanders?
