I like this idea a lot, but...

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.
