    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.
