I feel bad for the beast tribes. Here I've helped them with everything from stopping the summoning of a primal, to helping them carve out a home on a floating island, to rebuilding trade networks in a city.

But once all that is done, I never see or interact with them again.

One of my all-time favorite games is Dragon Age Origins. Near the end of the game, you have NPCs join you. Depending on how much you donate to their respective group or clan, it affects how well they fight in the final battle.

The closest thing we have in FFXIV is our squadron. And sometimes they arrive in funny costumes. But I miss our beast tribe friends. I'd like to recruit Lupin, Vanu Vanu, Gnath, etc. They already have fighting and casting animations. Perhaps we so inspired them with our bravery and you know, helping them rebuild, that they were emboldened to join us.

As it stands right now, it just seems like we do their fetch quests or whatnot, and we're done.
