Garlean Third Eye

[Fyrebrand]

How on earth could a Garlean WoL even go two steps into the MSQ without getting run out of town, arrested, or murdered on the spot? This would be like a nazi in full SS garb just sauntering around America during WWII.

If your "third eye" is just perpetually covered by your hair and/or headwear so nobody knows you're Garlean, then I don't even know what it is you're asking for other than to just keep playing a hyur and privately RP as a "secret Garlean" like you're already doing.

Not all Garleans are imperials (though the vast majority are) we have a few notable in-game examples that contradict this entire line of thought. Yeah, some Garleans might want to hide their third eye to avoid racism, but it's no different than a Keeper wanting to be careful in Gridania or an Ala Mhigan being careful in Ul'dah.

Also, Garleans aren't as clan/subrace of Hyur. The game has always treated them as a distinctly different race. Garleans are as different from Hyur as Elezen are.

We see plenty of racism in ARR. Eorzeans towards Beastmen, Garleans towards the Eorzean savages, even the various Eorzean races towards each other.

The story takes on a more accepting and hopeful tone, but some characters are still pretty damn racist. The Bozjans wouldn't accept Cid at first, even with the famous liberator of Doma vouching for him, and the Reapers in Ul'dah still make an effort to hide their Garlean heritages.

We do not see this toward players though. You wont' see any duskwight or moonkeepers in Gridania, but if a player of one of those races goes there it never gets brought up. The same with any au ra in Ishgard.
