Dwarves as a beast tribe, though... the term "beast tribe" is kind of an awkward label that I think they're only sticking with because it defines a specific game gimmick - a non-playable race/tribe that you run daily quests for - and they don't want to change it. Even in Stormblood, the "beast races" aren't really treated differently to "human races" like they were in Eorzea. (Which category do Lupin fit into, after all? Do we only consider them "not a beast tribe" because a band of them didn't settle an isolated village somewhere and ask us to run fetchquests?)

I'm more annoyed that despite claiming that dwarves *are* physically Lalafells, their eyes are in completely the wrong place and (from where that implies their head is positioned) their body proportions look extremely strange.
Lupin are beast-tribe as per their Triple Triad card. The game has made it clear that almost all beast tribes are still considered "Spoken" races like the playable six (now eight).
