And for the aforementioned points, I feel like much of the established miqu'ote lore doesn't make much sense to me.
And so, if there indeed was tribal miqu'otes roaming eorzea, and the mating rituals tied to that, they'd be pretty much living in a very closed society, like the amish. However, that's not concordant at all with what I've personally witnessed in game.
It's been said in this thread or another that the apparent vision for Miqo'te and their implementation in the game world differ considerably. The fluff on the Lodestone/Character Creator and the actual coding/quest writing were likely done by different writers with different goals for that writing (i.e. selling a vivid, interesting game world to consumers vs. churning out fifteen pages of quest text by the Friday deadline).
