I'm excited for the Ananta Beast Tribes!! I can't wait to learn more about them, and I hope theyre crafting so that I can level my crafters the easy way! Wonder what their mounts will be? I was thinking the Elephants that they have running around near their base?

What I'd like it to be:
* Lupin & Ananta -> DoW/DoM
* Kojin -> DoH
* Namazu/Rebuilding Doma -> DoL

What I think it'll be:
* Ananta & Kojin -> DoW/DoM
* Namazu -> DoH

I'd say that the Ananta, with their focus on crafting jewelry, would be natural for crafting quests.

However, I find it far more likely that SE will follow Stormblood's pattern, and the two races that we got Primals for will also be the two races that give us DoM/DoW quests.

Who will be the crafting beast tribe, I don't know; probably Namazu, but they could throw us a curveball and make it the Lupin.

Honestly, I think it'd be nice if we got four DoM/DoW tribes, as we did in ARR - but I doubt that'll happen.

As for the original post, SE doesn't want to add every part of the expansion at the same time, both because trying to develop it all at once would be a nightmare, and also so that players have something new to look forward to with each major patch. It's not at all surprising that we didn't get the Beast Tribe quests first-thing!

I don't understand why there has not been any beast tribe right at SB launch.

Don't think there was one at HW launch either. This isn't new.

There wasn't any tribe quest at HW too. Beast tribe quests only appear in sub-patch. If they give us everything at the release of the expansion we will be bored for the 2 next year.

It's possible to make content not boring for two whole years. SSBM is like a 15 year old game no patches 100,000s of people still play that game.

If only there was maybe a good PVP and fights that were different each time you did them like I dunno a randomly generated fight you have to react to.

- Xaela Ao Ra (4.5) --> Azim [Light, maybe Fire] / Nhaama [Darkness, maybe Water]

I think Azim and Nhaama may be bastardisations of Azeyma and Menphina or Nymeia.

This.

Not sure why people are surprised about it in SB.

The Anata's area has a special marker on the map. So do the Red Kojin. I'm guessing these will be the [main] beast tribes for Stormblood. If you go back and look, all the beast tribes with DoW/M quests have markers on the maps. Also, all of these tribes have another common trait: a primal associated with them.
With the possibility of the Namazu being crafters; just like the Moogles and Ixali (also lacking a marker on the map).
It seems, at the moment, that the Lupin may fall on the wayside of the Mamool- mercenaries in the area. We've already seen the one Lupin in Namai be the exception and not the rule for the race. I can't imagine a beast tribe daily springing from them when it was emphasized that they served Doma as retainers and emphasized how honorable it had been for them, only bending the knee to Garleans unwillingly.

However, yes, as it's been pointed out, we've not had beast tribe quests start from the beginning of any of the games (ARR and HW). There'd be no reason to expect different.

I can see Lupin and namazu beign tied to the reconstruction of the doman enclave with the non beast tribes like the plaza we rebuilt in the churning mists
