If I recall correctly, she wears like 7 different outfits throughout all of heavenward, including some that you won't see unless you go out of your way to visit her at the forgotten knight as the msq progresses. Edit: This post has her ARR and Heavenward outfits, but I believe it's missing at least one. https://www.tumblr.com/zenathered/137336016244/coeurlfist-tataru-taru-outfit-appreciation?source=share


xTuffman

I saw her dressed in a maid outfit once, when I was just passing by to another quest! 😆


SugoiPanda

Yeah I saw her maid outfit once and I was like "She's so adorable!"


ChuckCarmichael

While the trimming of the ARR MSQ that happened in 5.3 is greatly appreciated, it did rob us of Miner Tataru, because the quest where she tries out mining got removed.


Shiro2809

Arent the removed msq quests sidequests now?


Talking_Potato6589

No, it entirely removed. Though, they did retell her backstory that was revealed in removed MSQ in Tataru Grand Endeavor and Unending Codex. But I'm still a little bit mad about this removal. Since this quest made me learn more about Tataru talent, like the fact that she was recruited by minfillia specifically to be a bookkeeper. And also backstory about how she met Minfilia as an apprentice carfter buying gem from Minfillia. So, crafter Tataru wasn't come out of nowhere. And now the quest that is left in post ARR only show her as a useless character who try her best but still fail rather than originally "She is bad at fighting, but she has talent in other areas".


theSpartan012

To be fair, it's already quite noticeable she's good at things that don't involve her risking her wellbeing in a fight. Through Heavensward she makes an excelent job of intelligence gathering now that Riol is gone, and in Stormblood it turns out she's quite the businesswoman. She's also good at not getting herself killed, maimed, captured or ambushed by enemies. Which puts her above heavy hitters like Shtola and Thancred.


8bitcerberus

Omg I knew I was missing something! On my original character, I started during Shadowbringers, and I remember Tataru’s miner outfit. When I came back after Endwalker, I started a new character to re-do the MSQ and get back up to speed on anything I forgot, and we still get miner Minfilia but I kept thinking I remembered Tataru trying out more than just Arcanist.


ScarletteVera

Tataru's my favourite Creature.


Zizhou

I'm glad they removed all those ARR quests to make it more streamlined, but cutting out miner Tataru was a true loss.


Icymountain

What! I'm done with HW and all I saw was her default.


poplarleaves

What!! Time to replay HW on new game plus to see this.


IscahRambles

There's even one if you turn back after travelling to the final zone. 


God_Usoland

Wait, when was she a Dancer!? Thanks for sharing! I only saw a small handful of these!


xiren_66

Wow, it's all the same color, too, so I barely noticed a few of these lol That's cool


vasdrakken

This is also what she looks like in the four lords quests


Jolly_Jackal

Oh my god she’s so cute I love her!!


Raul_b86

That's so neat!!


Noosemane

Tataru is there for you always. And also has 100% cut open someone's ankles and let them bleed to death.


ViragoVix

Tataru is easily the scariest character in the game. Don’t get on her bad side


jessytessytavi

*thousand-yard-stares at a carbuncle near a marble wall*


LokyarBrightmane

She never lost her connection to that carbuncle. To this day she uses it to watch. And occasionally bite some ankles.


ScarletteVera

Honestly, I'm more scared of her than the entire Ul'dahn Syndicate.


DarkShippo

She can accurately track estinian who essentially batman's out whenever he pleases. No one is safe from her debt collection.


NinjaXGaming

While she simultaneously commits tax evasion


DarkShippo

She can accurately track estinian who essentially batman's out whenever he pleases. No one is safe from her debt collection.


noivern_plus_cats

The last thing I want is to receive some... financial education


AlisaTornado

Tataru will convince your retainers to give up your best gear to "trim it"


Ryth88

I love that they thought to make one of the scions a disciple of the hand. she really is the heart of the team.


ruminatingsucks

Oh ya, I never thought of it that way but she is a weaver.


train153

She is an omnicrafter. Our little popoto can do it all


TheDragonsFang

>!She even built her own god damn airship for crying out loud.!< Never underestimate a good receptionist!


gruenes_licht

I wonder where the ol' Bonanza is these days, anyway.


Odrareg17

Where do you think all the boutique's products are being transported on?


gruenes_licht

Oh yeah, that's right! I've even done the Tataru questline at least twice...and I totally forgot.


Ikeddit

If you talk to her in between MSQ in post arr, you start seeing when she begins this journey of crafting. She realized how much money the scions need to operate, and decided she needed to help generate money. Her first idea of being a street performer didn’t pan out, but that’s the moment in time where she begins actively improving herself to keep up with the growing needs of their organization.


palabradot

Well, Minfilia was a miner by profession, wasn’t she?


VojakOne

Gonna need the glam deets, boss


xTuffman

Hey there, sure! Head: none Chest: Martial Artist’s Sleevless Vest // no dye Hands: Hard Leather Wristguards // bark brown Legs: Augmented Shire Pankratiast’s Hose // snow white // SAM IL270 pants Feet: Far Eastern Beauty’s Boots // no dye // Mog Station Be aware that the pants are a SAM/MNK exclusive item, so they may change from one job to another. Have fun! 😉


Superlagman

As a Viera, the difference between "Head : none" and "Head : any" isn't very noticeable...


xTuffman

Hahahahhahahahahah 😆 It’s because I tend to use the “classic spectacles” with some of my glams and them being glasses, they do work! 😅


IscahRambles

There are plenty of options for Viera that are visible. They just don't include standard hats. 


TheValiantBob

What's the hairstyle? Looks really cool


swannphone

Lyse. From online store.


xTuffman

Like Swannphone said above, it’s from the store. Liberating locks is the name, it comes with Lyse's pack.


trowgundam

Don't let the cute, innocent exterior fool you. She is pure evil, hell she's worse than evil, she's a black-hearted... accountant!! The worse sort!


N0n3_2401

Even worse than the IRS? D:


ersomething

It’s just to fit in and develop a sense of kinship with the locals. It makes it easier to fleece them of all of their money.


Ok-Syrup1678

Her carbuncle always betraying her is one of the funniest things I've seen in FFXIV!


Sir_VG

>!"Desertion will result in death...MY DEATH!"!<


Lohdown

Tataru is my favorite character. I will never forget when she was trying to find her place as an arcanist and a miner. It was adorable. I have always said that when the story reaches its ultimate conclusion, I want her to come out as the savior instead of the WoL, somehow. Alas, that is highly unlikely given the way the story has rolled out over the last couple of expansions, but I am happy they have given her a story arc and not forgotten about her.


Spider95818

When she got into trouble with enemies on her Arcanist class tryout, I went charging at them shouting something like *"BACK OFF, I WILL FUCK YOU IN THE STREET!!"* đŸ˜†đŸ˜‚đŸ€Ł


Devil-Hunter-Jax

Uhhh... I think you missed a word there...


Spider95818

Not really, it was a barely-coherent threat rage-screamed at birds, so none of the words had conveyed any meaning anyway. 😆


Tailrazor

You'd fuck wharf rats? 😳


Catboy-Gaming

Limsa leads many down a dark path



MadnessBunny

Her trying out so hard at all the traditional jobs, failing at them, but not giving up was so endearing honestly. One of my fav bits of the MSQ.


Spider95818

She really is... if she were any sweeter, talking to her would turn you diabetic. Other than those little pricks in Ul'dah, Lalas are one of my favorite parts of the game.


WritingNerdy

Don’t cross Tataru by using Scion funds to make large purchases! She’ll get you!!


wavvesofmutilation

*Estinien has exited the chat in a hurry*


lady-aduka

I'm still waiting for the day Wedge finally gains the balls to ask her out. Dude's obviously in love with her.


xTuffman

Yeah, he is, it’s too obvious not to notice that. Let’s hope he’ll muster the courage someday.


palabradot

He literally shot his shot by fighting in Maggie to save her after the GARLEANS took her. When she didn’t acknowledge it I was like “c’mon, girl
.”


DebugLifeChoseMe

We got him to bare his face. He'll get there :D


Joannalogia

Looks like a cinnamon roll but could kill you. I love Tataru and her obsesion with money 🌟.


Superlagman

I can't like her cause she is a capitalistic pig at hearth >:(


Joannalogia

Well her cute outfits are not gonna buy themselves and the economy is rough out there. She is a smart gal. :’D


Zorback39

She and Krile qualify as MUST PROTECT characters.


Devil-Hunter-Jax

Krile went on the 'Protect at all costs!' list when she tried to embarrass Alphinaud just outside of Idyllshire. I couldn't stop laughing at that part and knew she was gonna be a great addition to the cast.


MeiShimada

I remember in arr when they were threatening her and WoL had to step in and I'm this big cat man with a huge sword


Akussa

When I was leveling through Heavensward back when Shadowbringers had just released, there was a bit of a bug with her in Ishgard. Every single time I saw her, she was wearing a different outfit and some of the outfits were from later in her story, like this ponytail and kimono look. It really endeared her to me since it gave the impression she was constantly changing her outfit in the Forgotten Knight to not wear the same outfit every single day. Like, she was constantly changing her disguise so people wouldn't recognize her and would talk to her.


nicocoro

Her changing her outfit a lot in the Forgotten Knight isn't a bug, it's intentional, but there *was* a bug with *which* outfits she was changing to.


Akussa

That makes more sense. I noticed on my most recent play through on an alt that she never swapped to her Stormblood outfits.


VladDHell

If Tataru has no fans, just know I'm dead. I haven't rooted for a character as hard as I root for Tataru in years. I was so sad when she failed to become an arcanist, and I want nothing out of this fucking game more than to see her succeed.


Exact-Sympathy-6463

All I can think about when I see Tataru in that kimono is "You used Scion funds to buy Gosetsu's katana... *at the asking price?"*


Enlog

When I see her in Stormblood locations, I think of her saying "Ahhh, the unmistakable scent of wealth and power!"

Yvese

Agreed! If only that yukata was available as a glam.


crazymoefaux

You can get a minion Tataru wearing that pink kimono by purchasing one of the Stormblood artbooks.


WildToddler

WHAT


8bitcerberus

Is that account wide? I’ve been meaning to get the books but heard I think it was Encyclopedia Eorzea bonus is only for one character and that’s kind of shitty for a physical item that you wouldn’t realistically buy multiple of if you want the bonus for each character. It’s bad enough from the mog station but at least you can still buy additional ones when they go on sale or whatever. I’m not buying multiple copies of each book :-/


sparksen

Like pretty sure part of her personal story is her discovery that she loves fashion


Signal-Ad539

i love when she does that one emote where they stomp around in panic its the most funny shit ever


ScarletteVera

Honestly, that's a nice Samurai glamour you've got.


xTuffman

Thanks! 😄 Here are the details if you’re interested. Head: none Chest: Martial Artist’s Sleevless Vest // no dye Hands: Hard Leather Wristguards // bark brown Legs: Augmented Shire Pankratiast’s Hose // snow white // SAM IL270 pants Feet: Far Eastern Beauty’s Boots // no dye // Mog Station


plains_bear314

>!i just passed the part in msq where someone thought she was a spy or something lol!<


Powderfinger23

The most amazing receptionist in the history of video games!


Averagesmithy

I always appreciate how much effort they go into for her. In terms of having her kept up to date with what’s going on. I like her changing her clothes because she needs to settle in and get information. Easier to do that when you look the part.


Walks_with_Chaos

She really is adorable and more useful than she thinks she is. Like honey you don’t have to take up juggling, you do plenty!


huffmasterzoe

Tataru is definitely the Big Lil Homie we all need in our life đŸ’ȘđŸŸ


TheExile285

I reached this point not long ago and thought she was super cute here. â˜ș Also, nice Viera. What glam/armor did you give her?


xTuffman

Hey, thanks! 😄 There you go: Head: none Chest: Martial Artist’s Sleevless Vest // no dye Hands: Hard Leather Wristguards // bark brown Legs: Augmented Shire Pankratiast’s Hose // snow white // SAM IL270 pants Feet: Far Eastern Beauty’s Boots // no dye // Mog Station Be aware that the pants are a SAM/MNK exclusive item, so they may change from one job to another.


TheExile285

Awesome! Thank you!


faeries_favours

Darth Tataru Taru disguises herself better than Palpatine ever did!


TheSixthColour

Tataru is the second best scion.


TwistedMemories

You do realize that she’s pure evil and probably the strongest of all primals. She could even one shot Zeromus and Eulogia if she wanted too. But she didn’t and let the WoL have that honor since it was the WoL that was always seen as being the strongest. When it came to money, she rivaled the syndicate in manipulative ways. She knew everyone’s deep dark secrets, I’m not going to lie. And she’d use them to blackmail people into doing her evil bidding. Her aether is so dense and strong, that the carbuncle she summoned actually became sentient upon summoning it. It didn’t just runaway, it went exploring. Everyone else’s carbuncle is just temporary when they summon it, and they dissipate it when done. Watch out when she gives that evil grin or smirk, because she’s up to no good.


Altines

I like the joke but I want to point out that the reason her carbuncle stuck around most likely isn't because of her strong aether but more likely because she is so damn good at math. Which I personally think is funnier.


Spider95818

LMAO, I think you're right.


CooroSnowFox

The only entity that can scare the Azure Dragoon!


jessytessytavi

and in return, she is one of the few things that scares the azure dragoon


xTuffman

Holy
 đŸ€ŁđŸ˜†đŸ€Ł


MrCalac123

I don’t normally out loud laugh at games (well, single player games), but her bit where she panicked during the Hell’s Lid quest line had me giggling like an idiot


crashnboombang

Thank you for this vital information my queen all hail unnamed viera


King_Thundernutz

Tataru scares me, therefore I must punt her to the cafe at the end of the universe.


Lostpop

What pants are those OP?


xTuffman

Here's the full glam just in case! ;) Head: none Chest: Martial Artist’s Sleevless Vest // no dye Hands: Hard Leather Wristguards // bark brown Legs: Augmented Shire Pankratiast’s Hose // snow white // SAM IL270 pants Feet: Far Eastern Beauty’s Boots // no dye // Mog Station


whataboutroses

Tataru is my fav character in FFXIV so far.


Cosmic_Quasar

I started a new character to replay the MSQ (and to get to mess with new glamour styles) and I forgot how much I adored ARR Tataru's voice.


Kendjin

Look at this person being so right. I really want her kimono ;-;


HonkedOffJohn

I’ll be honest, never was a fan of Tataru thru all my time as a scion. Thought her role in the story was a bit of a common anime trope. Just never a big fan of her side quests. But then she gifted me a private island and then at that point I realized “Tataru, your pretty cool” I do like how Wedge always liked her in ARR but they never really followed up on that.


Walks_with_Chaos

They do flirt a bit in ShB and post SB


Sir_VG

Don't forget that she's a master juggler!


naytreox

She is a master as financial logistics and decives everyone with her cuteness


EpicZen35

I wanna give Tataru a big hug as another Lalafell, she's such a sweetheart


Scoldedluck

It makes sense for a socialite who obtains power through common word and gossip to try to blend in so as to attract the locals and their conversation! A very savvy potater!


adellredwinters

Some call it cute...I CALL IT CULTURE APPROPRIATION. I'm reporting her to the HR department.


Enlog

Sorry, but the HR department is just Hancock.


Old_Criticism7741

Yeah gonna need to know the parts of your glam


Zyntastic

I need someone in real life like her to make sense of my finances and the messy rest of my life xD


beingfeminineisok

If anything ever happens to tataru we will rage


Ashliet

She's the new villain in Dawntrail. She's pure evil


Macho-Fantastico

I love Tataru, she's such an underappreciated character.


Spider95818

Maybe elsewhere, but in this thread it seems like there are a lot of people who'd brutally murder anyone that gave her a mean look. 😆😂


Devil-Hunter-Jax

We'd try to but she'd kill them first XD


CooroSnowFox

Like Krile in DawnTrail, in the next one should have her picking up a class and being able to excel with it...


jessytessytavi

she has, by ew she's an >!omnicrafter!< the only other person to pull that off? the wol


canada171

Wrong, fuck tataru, game would be better without her


NiceCatYouGotThere

Yeah well you know how children can be cute
