Oh you little pedo you

Cougars are cats right?

Anyone who's against the slightly more effeminate male Miqo'te, if you hate that kind of character you don't have to play them. I mean there are other options for you, namely Roegadyn and Highland Hyur.

Why can't male Miqo'te be the more effeminate choice? I mean why do all the male races aside from Midland Hyur have to be super buff big dudes? There exist "Manly men" character options. There aren't really any for the more effeminate.

Edit: Also separating them based on clan doesn't really make sense and forces those who want the slightly effeminate characters into a single choice instead of both clans. Currently with female Miqo'te the clans are similar, why would the same not be true of the males? Small differences but mostly similar. I mean you want more big manly dudes but you're taking away choices from those who don't.

Male Miqo'te = Fabio :3

Seriously though, Fabio with cat ears & tail = awesome. (I was gonna say George Michael but... yeah no)

They seem a little more like Ville Valo with cat ears XD

Edit: Well now that I think about it....probably more like Gackt >.>

Okay, so we all agree it would be nice to have more costumization options.

I don't care if others want their male Miquo'te to look like a furry or more "manly" (I'll use the word even though I hate it in the context Django put it, because 'manly' is pretty much just having one certain body part a female doesn't have), as long as I can have my dangerous but boyish kitteh:rolleyes:
I'm all in for sliders, I'd love to be a child character anyways:D
But I'm 99% sure we won't get an age slider, muscle slider, wrinkles slider, etc. because right now, the devs are not even sure if they can give us more than the 4-5 hairdos we have as an option right now x_X

Knowing that, I'd rather make sure male Miqo'tes look the way I want them to look when they are released (with little to no costumization options) instead of them looking like what others want them to look.

Edit: Oh, and I'm happy some people seem to be okay with the picture I posted x)

What you suggested was fine. Personally though I'd rather they just keep them with how the dev team seems to want them. I mean they have a vision for it already clearly, one that is well enough on its own. I'd rather they not bow to demands of people who don't like what they're doing.

I mean be it male miqo'te or some in-game system, someone's not going to like it. The dev team should do what they're going to do, as long as it's good.

I want them to look like thundercats.
Liono, Panthro, Tygra, Lynx-o

My previous post actually relied on the fact that, that's what people think about them (mithra to miqote, people think nothing has changed), and that in 2.0 they may change the lore of the races we have no clue. The reason why people think manqote's stay at home because they haven't read the lore of the game (which is actually all character creation) i know it wasn't worded right, but seriously people just rely on their XI lore (not saying this is right either) also in game I feel like miqote has the least amount of lore. So when V2 comes out, miqote's lore could be totally changed to where there were two totally different dynamics to the clans. Seeker of the Sun their colors reflect their nature to be out during the day and embrace the Sun forgot the gods name blah blah, what if the males were actually typically solo hunter/gatherer types (not survivorman) and when they embraced eorzean culture (because we have to deal with why they're here now) they were at first farmers, then with the call to arms they decides to become adventurers and help out with the war effort. On the opposite end sure moon manqotes can still hunt and gather but probably not farm at night, due to their nocturnal nature they were more reclusive, people don't tend to see them often of hear them often because their sneaky night cats, some how they meld into society and become assassins (i'm making all this up, pulling it all outta my ass, don't take this as an idea SE its really bad and just an example)

TLDR:The examples don't matter, my point is what if at V2 SE drastically changes the lore of races and especially pertinent to this thread the two clans of miqote and their males.

I did not make this thread to say "Do it my way or no way". I made this thread to get peoples opinions, and thoughts in the matter. The company in the end will make their own vision as they fit. I'm sure SE will make it work somehow, so far each race has it's own neutral feel. Even though sometimes they listen in, sometimes they don't. I'm not trying to change the way they are going to create the male miqote. I'm simply asking for everyone's thoughts and their preferences, while providing my own vision on the matter.

This^ I'm all for talking about how i like things and seeing other ppl's thoughts on stuff...
(I want it my way, yesterday!!) <--- No thanks...

As for the way i want the male miqo'te to look... I think i would much rather them be slender and athletic looking.. not too buff.. But above all i'd love for them to look noble

Of course, much of this segregation is broken down in Eorzea, probably due to progression - Merlwyb becoming Admiral may have even had an impact.

But if the cat-boys have been the supporting gender for so long, it would make no sense for them to be more powerfully built than the female, else history would have probably run a different course.

Lithe and slender makes purfect sense for the male Miquo'te.

Have you heard of a lion pride? Lion females do all the work but the males are still much larger and stronger. In all wild species of cats the males are larger than the females. I would like themale miqo'te to be like lions or tigers where the males are larger and muscular.

gracious and slim as females, i mean they are cats after all

Exactly. A Male Lion is much larger because its main "job" is to fight other males/protect the pride. Thats why it is so much larger. All male cats are significantly larger then their female counter parts.

(Siberian)Tiger Male: 660 lbs
(Siberian)Tiger Female: 200-367 lbs

Male Lion: 330-550lbs
Lioness: 250-350

Male Jaguar: 264
Female Jaguar: 198

(Healthy)Male House Cat: 10-15
(Healthy)Female House Cat: 6-10

Fact of the matter is across the board male cats are substantially larger and more powerful like just about all mammalian male vs female ratios. However, I personally would like to see them give us a bunch of options within a certain limitation template (I.E no Lalas the size of horses) based on what race you pick. However, if people here are determined to advocate such limiting dynamics I'm going to go with a robust cat-man instead of the yaoi string bean so many people are calling for.

In no way am I advocating some bloated herculean freak. Yet at the same time I don't want to be limited to a tall 12 year old girl type of bodies with slightly male facial features.

Have your sissy cats - let us have ours and we'll both be happy.

Why go to reality for examples? We're talking about a game in which we ride giant yellow birds, and cast magic... Not that there's anything wrong with that... I say let the effeminate cat boys stay that way.

So those who want the slim males have only one option but those who want big bulky dudes would have 3? Kind of sucks for those who don't like the clan that you would have them choose.

No - I am advocation people should be allowed a freedom of creation of design regardless of what clan they're in.

Well I think that might be possible with the new system, considering they've listed new character customization options. However I don't think we'll get quite that kind of range with it, like from the slim effeminate cat boys to the big burly giant cat dudes. I mean adding more body types is fine and all, I'm just not sure if we'll actually see that kind of a wide range.

Sadly you're probably correct but one can hope someone reads these and see's that its a good idea. Games far older and less impressive (graphically) have far superior customizing characters options. Hopefully with this reboot they will pick up the pace in that aspect. The game is ridiculously good looking in certain aspects but its character choices are a bit of a joke.

Like Ranulf, anyone remember him? Not too muscular but just enough not to be girly. Perfect imo.

But really... im all for choices too.. and having the sun Miqo'te be more liony and muscles and the moon ones being all slick and cat like (aka skinny). *shrug* I see no issue with that.

Choices are good... just my two cents.

Those games on the GC were truly epic. Also I think male cats in that game were just about right. You had your tough lion type cats like Mordecai, and your more slender type cats. Here's a pic of one of the tougher laguz http://fireemblemblog.files.wordpres...0/mordecai.jpg. He could almost pass off as a Roegadyn almost lol. http://fireemblemblog.files.wordpres...-1280x1024.jpg Theres a female for comparison to ours lol. FFXI definitely seemed to do a good job with Lekho. So I'm sure that the devs will probably do a good job on what we will find once they release it.

LMAO. You're my hero.

I like the male miqo'te so far and the dark skinned one shows they can look less pretty boyish in my opinion. I prefer(and hope) they have a more laid back style of animations.

Overall though as long as they do not act like girly men I will be re-rolling as one.

Hmmm apparently in a recent interview, Yoshi-P states he doesn't want to allow people to change their race when they transfer everything to 2.0 and allow us to redo character customization. Our race and gender will be locked but the other stuff will be able to be changed according to his current idea. He did say he was listening to the community on this matter. What do you all think? I would love to be able to change to a cat-man. ;D (I'm not trying to change subject or anything I just didn't think this deserved its own thread so I'm putting it here as I've not seen it stated anywhere yet.)

He was talking about changing those features using a barber, AFTER porting us to 2.0.

I will never understand the obsession with skinny boys.

I find them creepy and spindly. Like spiders. Luring unsuspecting young women into their web of gender neutrality.
I'm onto you, small eaters.
