JP Official Forums are also criticizing the Dawntrail MSQ.

Though one of the first quests kind of made me give it a side-eye. Said something along the lines of "I always dreamed of hiring a Yok Huy, but they look scary so I didn't." Which uh. Certainly not something I would say irl - "I always dreamed of hiring a person of X skin color, but they kinda look scary so I didn't." Maybe the race of an employee shouldn't be something to dwell on THAT much, but what do I know.

I don't think that's a good comparision. The ff14 world has different races unlike the real world.
Being intimitated by a being two to three times your size with a different anatomy is not really wrong. Prejudice yeah but understandable.

A better comparision would be hiring an intelligent elephant that had conquered the continent in the past.
