And I saw Lehko.

The tomcats stay at home and take care of the kittens while us girls go out and play with our swords~ I absolutely love Lehko <3 and I always hoped they would add male mithras as playable characters.

90% of the mithra in the game are male. Isn't that enough for you? ^^

Everyone is always about male mithra. Why not femalesque Galkas? What? Do you guys have a problem with bigger women or something?

if there were male mithra then most of the girls would be manthras and most the guys would be mithra. (regardless what they try to claim)

It's not the bigger that, in my opinion, turns people off. Its the beard.

Well maybe they're all chilling and making babies with the Manthras.
And that's going to be a very interesting place to visit in whatever expansion it's released in.

I think female Galka (if they ever existed) would ether be She-Hulk or polar opposite of the Galka (Tiny, lean & feminine)
as for male mithra...Lehko will probably be the only one in game till they open Mithra homelands.

They should add male mithras. Should have been done centuries ago, and Square's stubborness on this subject is a good example of why good business should always trump designer biases.
The amount of subscriptions square has probably lost because of this is huge i'm sure. Males who want to play as an agile and dexterious race shouldn't be forced to play as a female. Period.

And not enough Girlka! if guys can play as females why can't girls play as males? lol
LMAO @ "Death by Snu-Snu" I could picture a hulking Female Galka say that to a male hume "You make our kind your slave?! death by snu-snu for you puny humes!" XD poor guys...would die of crushed pelvises...nothing the spell raise can't fix

Two things.
First:

Second: Who says the mass breeding sessions behind closed doors at the mithra homelands hasn't hit it's centennial and is ready for a break? You'd think the constant sex would kill them quicker than lack of breeding.
Hell. Could even be a jail break of sorts. Men constantly complain about the company of women. You'd think being locked away, no escape, surrounded by children all day.... They would want to escape. o-o
Galka have no genitals. At all. While they are treated as males for the sake of marriage ceremonies, they cannot in any way create children with others. They are neither male nor female anatomically. As such, there is no point in creating a female-esque version of this race. SE should just openly allow them to marry either a man or a woman and call it a day, in my opinion. My server had a lovely galka named Betty. She had her own pin-up album. I'm sure she was popular with the boys.
As for male mithra people have been begging for those since before FFXI was even released in Japan. SE has ignored all requests in this game; andi n FFXIV. i honestly doubt they will ever change their minds.

To which, the Galka in the room reply: "God damnit. Just once I'd like to get some without murdering someone by crushing them."
To which, most reply: "Why not reincarnate as a woman?"
Lastly, I say we MARCH ON TOKYO AND PICKET SE FOR MANTHRAS. D:

did you know that when a galka is reincarnated it becomes a perfect copy of its former self? They even retain knowledge of their former lives. I suppose that makes them quasi-immortal in that they can live forever, but their lives can also be extinguished for whatever reason. This makes their story a rather sad one...

Male mithras are much rarer and Mithran Society has a bit of a role reversal going on where the men are expected to stay back home and raise and protect the children as well as acting like breeding units while female mithras go out on adventures and seek glory and fame in foreign lands. That's why there aren't playable male mithras.

It's really just an excuse. Not that I care, no need for em. Don't know why they aren't in FFXIV though. Probably just to piss people off, like the rest of the game.

Actually, it was because SE wanted to create a hyper-feminine race and a hyper-masculine race to round out the others. they also wanted to retain an even number of female options as they had male options. Since the races have specific stats, they couldn't combine the hyper-feminine and hyper-masculine races into one.

They might have been able to do that with Galka. Think of it this way.
It all drops down to bone structure. when you look at a galka in terms of sheer size and bone frame they really are built to be sturdy and have raw physical power.
But now take that natural physichal power and give it a lighter, tighter frame. It won't be as sturdy but it's potential for power output would be much higher. Meaning that having female forms for galka with smaller frame and leaner structure would lead to them having more burst power in their muscle structure while the slower and more sturdy structure of the males is sustained power.
Of course they could also just be she-hulk status... I don't see how male mithra would be any less energetic or agile. then again sitting around breeding and eating for however many years would probably make it so they'd be overweight... I mean, have you seen male house cats? Lehko is probably an outlier. I hardly think he's inactive.

If you replaced your summoned NPC with him instead of a WYVERN would he act more appropriately... Then again having him dance around to the right music makes the entire thing hilarious. XD

I got it. Galkas don't climb that mountain to die and be reborn. When they get up there, they are greeted by a national harem for Galkas, those who live hundreds of years finally get to climb the mountain in their final years, breed to their hearts desires and sire some children. When they finally get a boy, they simply raise the child to a survivable age, they tell the child their entire life history, and any history of their ancestors they can remember. They finally give the child the same exact name as them, tell them to climb back down the mountain, and to pose as a reincarnation to keep their harem secret. And then the cycle repeats.
I've always wondered how they still exist if they are eventually bound to die before they get to their little "Mountain of Reincarnation", and now I know why!

IT ALL MAKE SENSE NOW. D: ...
So yeah, female galka and male mithra! I mean no one questioned it when giant mouth shapes interdimensional portals opened up to send us into the past. Why would they not accept "Oh hey, the mithra mating century has ended." and "Female galka from an alternate dimension invaded with signs saying "Galkatron needs Men."
