Suggestion: Playable Races Tribe-Quests

[Mimilu]

I know I already created a thread for more visual differences between the playable races tribes but I just can't help myself. XD

As the title says, I suggest giving each of the Playable Races' tribes their own quests similar to the Beast-Tribe Quest.

Each quest could help shape the different cultures of the playable races.

For players who aren't that race/tribe: The quests could provide one or two race-exclusive hair styles and maybe versions of the race's starting gear that any race can wear.

For players who are that race/tribe: The quests could provide more unique outfits and gear that only that race can wear and maybe even more unique hairstyles and face paint for that race.

I'm a Barbie girl, in the Barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic!
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation
Come on Barbie, let's go party

Not a bad idea. I love the beast tribes, but I'd also love for daily quests to delve into other factions as well.

[Kassiekane]

Yes please. I'd like to know more about Au Ra lore, and I could imagine the Lalafell quests to be hilarious.

[Stormfur]

I'd love this! I know my Miqote prefers being a loner that loves the night, but other than that, I have no clue about their culture other than Miqabobs.

[Theodric]

Neat idea. I'd like to see more racial lore - because it's likely going to be quite a long time until we get an in-depth look at the races who aren't native to Eorzea.

I saw this thread at work and was thinking about it for a bit...and while some I'm not sure how SE would want to do it, others seems like they already have a story ready for them. (Moon Keepers, Duskwights, Raen, and Xaela, and for some reason I see Highlander Hyurs being tied to the Gold Saucer...probably because of refugees working there and how Corel was below the VII one)

I like this idea a lot, but...

For players who aren't that race/tribe: The quests could provide one or two race-exclusive hair styles and maybe versions of the race's starting gear that any race can wear.

For players who are that race/tribe: The quests could provide more unique outfits and gear that only that race can wear and maybe even more unique hairstyles and face paint for that race.

My concern here lies with Fantasia. If you're currently an Elezen, and do the Elezen quests, you get the extra special stuff. But then you Fantasia into an Au Ra. Would it mean you'd miss out on the all-races Elezen starting gear forever, since you'd already maxed out that tribe? And would you miss out on the extra special Auri stuff?

It also seems like a lot more complicated to code, tracking the character's current race when I don't think anything else (other than starting gear and the hempen sets) does.

I'd say let all "tribes" give the same reward no matter which race the character is. But since the current beast tribe quests have the "rewards" being purchasable from their shop, it shouldn't be too difficult to unlock both types of rewards. Some that benefit all races, and some that only benefit the race of the tribe. You could buy those even if you were a different race, but they wouldn't benefit you unless you used a Fantasia.

Highlander should have lore quest about their no eyebrows :|

I'd also like to see something similar done to the three Grand Companies, quests that tie into the lore of the organizations. Learn more about it's founding, it's former/current high ranked members and heroes, and seeing the general structure on how they work from the inside. Since we're pretty high in the ranks as it is, I could see this easily making it what gets you from rank to rank in the higher tiers. Heck, you could get rid of that seal cost for rank increases and replace it with something akin to reputation.
