So where are the Male Miqo'te NPC's?

Ive only seen one, and that was during arcanist class quests. I may just be blind tho, but save that one they are as non-existent in ARR as they were in 1.0, as far as NPC's go. Not one story cutscene had a male miqo'te NPC in it either.

Anyone manage to spot the male miqo'te NPC elsewhere?

Forgotten Springs in Ul'dah. Their little story is pretty interesting. You should go there and see it for yourself. :)

Ah yes, I forgot about that place. There are 3 there! so that makes 4 whole male miqo'te npcs in the entire game so far. Pretty secluded place for them too. anywhere else?

also 3 around him

The leader and three more (brothers?). They're in the same little building as the leader. That goes bring up a few good point, I've never noticed the lack of males amongst the NPCs.

I think Forgotten Springs is the only little Miqo'te town...That I know of, anyway.
Something about two of the males trying to take the position of 'Nunh' and training the females. It's just like a lion pack, really.

You're right about there being hardly any male miqo'tes around aside from that. I haven't caught many at all.

In the beta he was alone but since EA there are three now. One more male Miqo'te is "hidden" in a corner of Buscarrons Tavern. They are a rare sight indeed.

There's also one in the Waking Sands storeroom. It's nice that they're around but still rare. Things would be really weird if there were suddenly so many simply because the world ended.

One in waking sand, and One of main quest where you had to doing before unlock titan story (Not HM one). I forgot where it was at, but in Desert place :x

Edit: Ah nevermind, just looked up where it was, it was in Forgotten Springs, just as above post said about it.
Also there's one Miqo'te Male by FATE @ near Quarrymill one. The king one.

This, also, the Arcanist quest has a rather eccentric one that I find quite amusing.

Good thing 90% of the PC population is Miqo'te then.

From what I remember of the Forgotten spring quest, the Keeper of the Sun miquotes are like lions, the males fight for dominance to breed and the females are the brute force, going hunting and all that, while the males stay safely in their homes.

Come to think of it.... Did anyone check back alley of Forgotten Springs? Maybe we can find some M miqote mass grave or something...

Just since I didn't see anyone else say..

The apparent lack of male Miqo'te NPC's is pretty themely, if you've read around the world information some. Early on there was a publication explained Miqo'te are a bit more feral in general than most of the spoken races, and while they're often tribal and have a fairly normal gender ratio, the tribes generally aren't that large and the males have an especially hard time adapting to normal 'civilised' culture. Most Miqo'te settlements don't have many males in them because they have a tendency toward solitary lifestyles and hermitism, and the same goes for the cities. Had you noticed the male Miqo'te's tendency to stand around like a cat that thinks someone'll take a swing at it at any moment? That's why.

So in my opinion there's just about the right amount of them. A few scattered about the settlements for various reasons, be it eccentricity or necessity - although a few wandering the wilds would certainly be a nice touch (then again I guess that's where the PC Miqo'te boys come in, isn't it?). It's not Final Fantasy XI where the extreme rarity of Mithra males lead to them being hoarded by tribes and kept in gilded cages; there are still plenty of them. They just don't tend to get on well with densely populated areas.
