Garlean Third Eye Customization option

[Absimiliard]

Yes, but he's not a pureblood so no easily distinguishable third eye that might get him ostracized or even pursued by the empire for defecting.
I assume his identity as a former Garlean conscript is also kept a secret from regular civilliains, since they wouldn't have any reason to mingle in the personal life of the tree president's bodyguards.

Let's assume for a moment you are correct in your assertion that he is not a pureblood. What about the Garleans known to have infiltrated the Eorzean population? Is their ability to roll up in there, complete whatever espionage mission they were sent on, and roll on out to be disregarded? It's as simple as hiding their third eye.

But returning to the topic at hand; if that man's original nationality was so readily hidden, what's to prevent the same for the WoL? After all, you do enter Eorzea riding in the back of a wagon if you're not a legacy player. Who knows where that character came from? Maybe they're of those rare Garleans capable of manipulating aether and happened to disagree with the direction of the Empire? We did after all learn from Drusilla and others that a not insignificant portion of the Garlean population strongly disliked the path the Empire found itself on prior to its destruction in Endwalker.

For that matter, who cares if it clashes? Au Ra had to be retconned in to make sense, and half of them are more supposed to be more bloodthirsty than most of the enemies we deal with over the course of the game. If SE is willing to throw down retcons left, right, and center, then why would it be considered wildly inappropriate for players to have access to a handful of Garlean customizations options on matching body types?
