[Spoiler 6.0 area 5] Race specific cutscenes/dialogue

Spoiler[Discussion]

(For context, I am a very tall rabbit.)

In the 5th area, we meet a character with non-hyur ears, and when you talk to her, she comments how the WOL is just like her. (I assume they don't do this for hyur, who are basically indistinguishable from Ascians).

I thought that was really cool but it also made me remember back to when we meet the Loporrits. One of the things they have done is decide that all food should be in carrot form. You get a choice of how to respond, from disinterest to disapproval, after which Y'shtola voices her displeasure with the food.

I get that Viera aren't actually just rabbits, but I would have loved to be able to voice my enthusiasm for the all carrot diet. This would also have been an opportunity for Y'shtola to be sassy again with her reply.

I think she meant more like, aether-wise, than physical appearance

That being said, I can't remember if it was in MSQ or a side quest, but an NPC does comment on the fact that my character has scales and a tail and makes the connection between that and me being a familiar. (For context, my character is an au ra.)

I play a hyur character and she said that to me too. I think she was talking about how we both have less aether maybe?

There's one bit where the important people are having a big important meeting that you're not invited to, so you get a tour of the area with your new little familiar friend. I believe one of the NPCs you talk to on the tour remarks on non-human appearances here. I remember him commenting on how unique my Au Ra was because he'd never seen a humanoid familiar with the horns and scales of a beast.

My WoL is a Hrothgar

I can’t remember the exact dialogue but it was something like.

They were pretty sure I was a Familiar because I was shaped like a man but had the features of a beast.

Thought that was pretty neat.

My Miqo WoL was told they look mostly like man, but with the ears and tail of a beast.

I play a lalafel, and at the beginning of that area where you're given some aether by character 1, character 2 says something along the lines of "he's still rather small, did you give him enough?" To which character 1 says "I made him match his proportions". not sure if this is lala-specific or not

I'm Roe.

Emet and Hythelodeus mention the feel the "overdid" my change as a "familiar" because I'm now taller than they are.
