Of course we will never be able to select a Beast Tribe race as our player character, but what is the next best thing? Having Beast Tribe Retainers.
Having a Gobbie/Moogle/Vanu run out and do my ventures for me would be awesome.
There already are NPC's with weapons/tools equipped, so we know it's possible to design them as such. Therefore, the only gear that really should show should be the weapon/tool. I just feel like the retainer system could use a slight update to make it more diverse in customization.
It could even be required to do the Beast Tribe quests and get to a certain rank with them before hiring them as a Retainer
