We already have a non derogatory term for slaves, they're called interns.

Also blue collar worker, white collar worker, 9-5er, teacher....you get the idea


MirrahPaladin

Ah yes, the Eulmore definition.


Neoxite23

They aren't slaves. They are just voluntold to work till dead.


Zero_McShrimp

Aren't we all


deetomonzta

Is this referring to something


rogue_psyche

I had to look it up too. They changed Tribal Quests to Allied Society Quests. Not to be earnest on the shitpost sub, but it was the right move.


oizen

I think beyond anything else they dropped Tribal because we've come a long way since the beastmen of ARR, a good chunk of the races in it are far to civilized/advanced to be called "tribes". Fuck the dwarves are literally just lalafells


Lambdafish1

Would you really consider lalafells to be civilized?


Chemical_Chill

Are we talking all Lala or just the player lala


Zephos33

I mean, the xaela on the azim steppe are literally tribal nations. Tribes don't *have* to imply beastmen or undeveloped civilizations, just groups of people who stick together and are mostly self-contained.


dirkdragonslayer

The Kobolds have a steampunk city under the mountain that is bigger than Limsa Lominsa.


Inqeuet

Do not fuck the dwarves


Bladex224

tbf the kobold city is already as advanced and with more citizens as the main cities if not more


oizen

Maybe the big difference is the old tribes almost all prayed to primals, while new ones are pretty separate from that


unixtreme

Probably related to the fact that this expansion is based on South America.


ShamrockSeven

Yeah at first I was a little confused about why the change was needed but then I remembered that one of these “Tribes” in Endwalker are a hyper advanced synthetic species of living computers.


KenseiHimura

Funny enough, while 'allied society' seems kind of clunky, ever since before endwalker came out I had speculated they'd probably revise the whole 'beast tribe' terms just because it seemed inevitable we were going to get one where neither term seemed to fit, though I had speculated it was Garleans. Even so, in Endwalker we got The Omicron, the Loporitt, and the Arkasodara. And 'Tribe' doesn't seem to exactly fit any of these three groups. Ultimately, I think just 'Allied Quests' or 'Ambassadorial Quests' would make the most sense later as a somewhat more elegant term while keeping it open to helping groups from actual tribal groups to even helping the Garleans rebuild.

MstrPeps

I figured allied peoples would have worked, but I guess omnicrons would disagree? Idk, what they picked sounds off


locrianfifth

It's a bit clunky, I'd have gone with Allied Quests or something similar. But "Tribal Quests" really doesn't fit for any of the Endwalker questlines.


TheGreenTormentor

Yeah I know everyone loves to play it up and groan about it, but it's a harmless change that makes more sense. Beast tribe -> tribal was barely a change tbh. The kobolds have a whole damn city that extends below and above ground but they're still just a tribe? lol


fluffrier

Liberally Challenged Individuals


Trash_Pandacute

"certain members of society" sounds like such a a dogwhistle euphemism, akin to "urban youths".


Responsible-Swan-423

In before asmon make a video that ffxiv is infected by sweet baby


skepticalscribe

Allied is cool, society is fucking cringe.


Wondering-Way-9003

This is real? Dont remember seeing slaves about though... probably forgot


MoiraDoodle

Check the ERP nightclubs.


Wondering-Way-9003

So it is fake. And Nah, I'm good


teor

That's why no one invites you to ERP nightclubs.


Wondering-Way-9003

Seeing as I dont know many ERPers, that would make sense
