That is possible. I had considered it, but since it has hair it wasn't my first guess. You're probably right.

I believe the boys shave their head as part of their religion, that character looks female. *shrugs*

I really hope the missing genders become playable in the future.
More choices leads to more diversity among players which leads to better character 'personality/individuality'.
It's all about freedom of choice, being able to play the game like you truly want to.

Speaking of the opening CGI intro, the Miqo'te mentions her father.... Just saying..... :P

I would have to say the artist for the Miqote did a horrible job if it's a girl. The face is presented in a guy manner the same as the other two. Why would he not give it a more feminine face? regardless of the chest size I look at the faces.


edit: Well i'm off check the forums later.

If you noticed the "male miqo'te" seems to have the same hair style as the miqo'te on the far left of the pic.

Uh, that hair thats on the far right is the "Fuzzy Afro" that my Cairdeas Miqote has. The one in the other concept art is a saggy "Beach bum" look

I think the concept art of the Hyur ,Elzen, and Miqo'te looks male to me as where the concept art Nab posted you can see two Miqo'te with the same hairstyle wich to me could be female.

ALSO Cair your sig looks awesome.

ahh I see that makes sense

Ya i was thinking that too at first but dont the ears look a little too big?

I remember when the picture was released. Someone mentioned it was probably a "Taru with hair ribbons." Similar to the pigtails hairstyle in the Lalafell Female Character Creation.

I'd agree, the sketch isn't the best depiction of a female Miqote but, remember, this is concept art. It is not meant to be elaborate, precise or horribly detailed at this point. It's simply created to give a visual depiction while working on the final product.

As far as why the original artist did not give the Miqote a more feminine face? Well, I can't answer that. I can say he also didn't do a very good job sketching the character on the far-left side of this concept piece become some players, in this thread, mistook it as a female earlier on. It's concept art, it's a rough idea, so some things change. The designers probably agreed with most of you when they got to the final edit and decided to soften the look of her face. I'd love to see male Miqotes that look like this but I don't believe that was the original artist's intention.

I'll give it one final attempt; judge it for yourselves.

/sigh, please go and read all the other posts lol :P

Must have Male Miqote and Female Roegadyn. I alway to to play as a sexy Amazon type beast woman.

I had the strangest dreams last night. O.o
It was a mix of Aion and FFXIV..

There was a war going on and...
Elyos, Miqo'te, Midlander Hyurs, Elezen, fighting against Asmodian, Roegadyn, Lalafell and Highlanders. (Who knows why the Highlanders were fighting against the Midlanders .. >.> ) Dreams are weird.. All the missing genders were there fighting too. lol

Then I kept having dreams where Yoshida-san came on the forums here and answered us directly, but not with a definite yes or no. XD Just vagueness. That dream just kept repeating. o.O

Missing genders are missing for a good reason!

Yes, because they didn't have time to implement them. Eventually, they may have time though. ^-^

single genders: worst idea ever, of all time
Sure every male has that crazy fantasy of an all amazon women planet, which seems good at first, until you're being thrown into an active volcano to appease their goddess XD
also loving all the people who dont bother reading the first post~

I am from NYC so I am working with real life Male Miqo'te and Female Roegadyn types already hahaha! Let's put them into the game!

They're not mutually exclusive and as another stated totally not what we're asking ty.

its been while since i read FFXI mithra lore. so correct me if im wrong but the male mithra where only used for breeding(used the breeding part do to them hardly leaving the citys/towns) because the weman of the race were more battle supior wasnt it. so wouldnt that mean male cat with shitty stats? who in their right mind would play a class with shitty stats....

That was XI, XI =/= XIV so the the point is moot.

yes mute point . but still the theory is still collectable do to the CHARACTER designs based apon its predocessor. if you read the lores they hardly changed at all

I might be the odd one here, but I really could not care less about MANthras and GALkas.

There are more important things that need fixing atm.

The OP says they don't want it implemented now, just if they're going to implement it at all.

Not it's not, because the LORE is not the same. If you are a fan of the lore you would know this. :)

There is nothing right with this sentence. Just because the character designs are similar doesn't mean the societies would be the same. For all we know Mi'qote had a history of misoandry.

And how can you say the lore's hardly changed? They come from two different lands! Different histories and gods! Mi'qote of different colors! Look at the EYES, man! You don't get that in just a few years off the boat! I've yet to hear such things mentioned even in passing in the Mithran lore.

I want to be a catboy =( Blade & Soul does it, Tera does it XIV ... pretty please. I'll promise to be a good player and complain less about how all the quests in the game are copies of one another and don't have cutscenes for an entire week if you give me a new character to level =)

Wrong.

Galka - Tailed race that reincarnated through a unknown system, some speculate the tails cut off and a new body grows to the old tail. Race is genderless.

Roegadyn, Bipedial race with BOTH genders, Males are tall, broad and strong and tend to be pirates, seamen, and fishermen. Women tend to be Fishermen, crafters, or politicians.

Mithra, Males are super rare, guesses put at 1 for every 10,000 Females. Reproduction is selective by society. Males are overly protected by the Females and rarely leave the OZ Continent.

Miqo'te, Males are equal in population density to females but are not as social as the females are. They tend to be solitary and prefer working alone over in groups. (Similar to Lions)


The lores in game from multiple NPC's explain massive differences in both the cultures, appearance, and the presence of Genders for the Miqote and Roegadyn. The only reason they are not in the game was because the development team ran out of time to implement them for launch and were looking into a way to introduce them later.

This thread is asking if since the staff has changed if this is still an option for LATER, and when maybe we might expect it.

Let's not forget that Galka were a heavily enslaved race, mistreated and one which most were highly prejudice against.. And Roegadyn by comparison appear to share equal rights with that of every other race in Eorzea. Mithra too appeared quite amazonian in nature - very tribal and jungle-like - whereas there is much less indication (if perhaps any at all) of that with Miqo'te.

This isn't just the case with these races either though.. Try comparing the Tarutaru to the Lalafell and many stark differences emerge there as well. These races are really nothing alike whatsoever, the only similarity they share at all is in reference to their character designs. (which in itself, has actually changed a lot between the two games..)

This is the FFXIV forums for FFXIV. I think you're talking about a totally different game. ;3

But yes, in FFXI that would probably be the case.

I think it's funny to see people say well in XI lore "Blah Blah Blah" when this is a totally DIFFERENT game. Try doing some homework first >.>. At this point all those kind of posts are good for is post count and thats it LOL. It really shows how much they know about this game.
