Although nothing will ever be egregious as the Ancients praising you as the bestest familiar ever.
This is something that occurred to me just today: while Dawntrail isn't the only expansion where we're basically a nobody to most of the people around us, Dawntrail is the first expansion where someone else's reputation and charisma is opening all the doors for us. House Fortemps basically just got us into Ishgard in Heavensward, it didn't get further than that.

I can kind of agree on the Arcadion, but in fairness that's literally a fighting arena, and we saved Solution Nine while in Solution Nine. Yeah we're riding on our own reputation there, but it's a very locally earned one. (Also it doesn't really get us far, that crowd scene after M1 clearly showed we're not a crowd favorite.)
