The only Lore not related to FFXI I could find about them implied they were implied to have come directly from Vana'diel, though I never encountered any besides the one in the Arcanist Guild in Limsa Lominsa, and never saw any hostile ones to see if there was any indication of whether that was true or not.(08-12-2013, 12:50 AM)Ashren Snow Wrote: We also see Qiqirn and Goblins in Limsa Lominsa so I'm not sure that makes them very unique in regards to beastmen living among the normal folks.
I was more referring to the Mamool Ja being a new entity added into the mix since the Calamity. We don't really know much about them, other than that they came across the seas and are apparently known for their work as mercenaries. We've only seen a few that are presumably friendly, of course.
Lore-wise, Qiqirin and Goblins have long since been integrated into Eorzean society. More-so in Limsa Lominsa and Gridania than Ul'dah, however, as the sultanate has a beef with beastmen. Both Qiqirin and Goblins are fairly common-place in the city-states, though. You'll see them peddling their wares in the markets.
Mamool Ja, on the other hand, are this completely new race that seem to be fairly aggressive, so it's interesting to see them mingling with Eorzean society.
To Rock, I as a major fan of Werewolves in general, I would love a Wolf type race to be added to the game, even if it wasn't anything related to Lycanthropy. Sadly I could see it being more likely as a new Beastmen Race than a new player race.
This is really the only snippet of info we have to go off of at the moment. I'm not really sure where people keep assuming that they are from Vana'deil? I've searched everywhere and I have not been able to find anything that even remotely suggests this. As for the hostile Mamool'ja, they can mostly be found out at Bronze Lake patrolling about outside The Wanderer's Palace. Their levels range around from 36-39.
