Yeah, I was expecting something along the lines of Kimari or the Khajit (minus the cat faces) in Skyrim myself. I'm pretty sure the male Miqote design was created as a functional equivalent of the female Miqote design - lots of males running around as moe looking catgirls, so I imagine the male Miqote design is more for the fujoshis on the JP side who want their bishounen catboys.
That's all cool - I'm personally not a fan of the design, but we needed these genders to be in XIV, and I'd say this is a good start.
