I had assumed that Miqo'tes were either living in the deserts/forests like good tribes, or had completely abandoned the tribal life to embrace the city customs, in which case their names could be just anything (except Japanese names, as there's no way to justify them within the lore that I know of (?) ).(12-01-2013, 09:54 AM)Clover Wrote: In the Miqo'te's case, most of the Miqo'te NPCs we see in game aren't even tribal, so seeing a city Miqo'te is a very normal occurrence.
It's entirely possible that many miqo'te living in the cities are maintaining their family tribe dynamics simultaneously. Remember, "tribe" doesn't automatically imply some isolated group of individuals far out in the wilderness. Perhaps that N' or K' or W' or whatever prefix miqo'te NPC you see in town is just one of a whole family who live and make a living in the city as a unit. I know Twinflame has got a sort of mafia-esque dynamic going with one of his miqo'te's tribe.
Food for thought! Just cause a miqo'te is in the city, doesn't mean they've forsaken their tribe's way of life!
But yes, this game doesn't seem to display any Miqo'te who doesn't have a proper Miqo'te name, so it's either they're still a part of a tribe as you say, or they simply maintain their roots even if they abandon the tribal life itself to mix with other cultures. I don't know and I'm glad I'm not playing a city Miqo'te; it's suddenly sounding too complicated to figure out ^^;
