Thinking about how Final Fantasy 14 had the main playable humanoid peoples who are considered "human" and the intelligent species who didn't live in the main cities who were generally referred to as "beast tribes." The Beast tribes are generally considered very dangerous because they will attack humans who venture out of the city, and try to summon their evil gods. This is mostly just presented as a fact of life, but as you progress through the game you meet plenty of beast tribe people who are perfectly kind people, and this comes to a head when you enter the Shadowbringers expansion and essentially travel to an alternate dimension called The First.

Here, the lalafell, who are considered a human race in your home world, are considered a beast tribe, and referred to as "Dwarves." They live in a little town outside the safe area of the city, aren't respected by the human races, and they keep building robots that attack people. Meanwhile, the Amal'jaa, who are considered a beast tribe back home, live in the city, are valued for their livestock, and are referred to as the Zun.

It really highlights how the difference between a human and a "beast tribe" is just entirely arbitrary, and likely results just from what race had the most power in each dimension's history. I'm not sure if this subtext was intended back during the early parts of the game, but you can definitely notice a shift in how the writing treats the beast tribes by the time you get to Shadowbringers.

adventurer squadron is the funniest thing in ffxiv. "oh we're the warrior of light's handpicked special crew of adventurers. what do we do? mostly we uh. mostly we run dungeons that they tell us to run. when they remember to come by. honestly most weeks they do not come by. I haven't seen them in months. but no one's willing to reassign us or send us on other duties because, again, WOL's handpicked squad, so...we just sorta chill."

the ffxiv twitter started a pictomancer drawing hashtag so I spent an hour doing this instead of cleaning my room which is how art works actually

Kinda weird you keep your wol half blind in a world where there's magic and super powers and dragons and shit. It's certainly one way to be a special snowflake I guess lol

me and the entire committee here at Clownery Inc would like to award you our highest honor for making it as this month's best employee. thank you so much for your hard work and don't forget your wonderful smile around our valued customers!

fascinating to see how many ffxiv players actually know the names of their attacks. idk what 'Deathflare' is i just know when i bring out the dragon and press the pink blue button there's big damage numbers and my brain is happy
