As near or far as you'd like! Something I'm noticing in the writing of FFXIV is that the races/species are rarely locked up by confining traits. In the same way as you have all kinds of people in real life who come from all kinds of circumstances, the same is true here. There are dainty city miqo'te, hardy city miqo'te, swarthy miqo'te pirates, poacher miqo'te, erudite scholar miqo'te, trader miqo'te... everything. I've even seen miqo'te (and all other races) among the ranks of the Empire! So it'll be the same with tradition: some will have steered away, some will have kept and adhered, others will now believe that all the miqo'te of Eorzea are heathen scum who must be crushed under-heel in a glorious crusade... The field really is very open, .

And yea, there is an overall stigma against Keepers, mostly held by Gridanians, however.
I just visited Limsa Lominsa and the miqo'te there are frightening! Hanging off the arms of pirates and flirting with sailors!! They have forgotten themselves! /trauma ;;
