    I see what you mean, but can't disagree enough. How many complaints for masculinity have there already been on the forums? I don't think adding more feminine-like males to Eorzea actually benefits anybodies tastes as far as PC options goes. Not to mention 60% of Hyurs already look like Bieber.

    Just to narrow in-- Elezens males aren't feminine enough to fit that bill? What is missing-- Non-local colors? Mascara? They are tall and posed. But this is the first time I've seen anyone claim they are actually muscular. Heck no. They are the thin and agile male archetype.

    Male mi'qotes being some kind of agile feminine males? I don't know how anyone could feel that's what's missing in the diversity of XIV. What I mean is, there is already a general overlay of softness to all characters. From what I see on the forums, most people would like to peel that away rather than pile it on.

    It's just an idea, but if we're saying Square's willing to let us rename and re-gender our characters since they are adding new ones, they could kill two birds with one stone and apply those race-changes to the already established sub-races that lack any real differences from their counterparts. Change the Sea Wolf models to the new Ronso's. Give the Plain Mi'qotes bunny ears instead of cat ears and make them taller. Make one of the lalafels Moogle'ish. And so on. It's awesome either way. But it could get pretty convoluted by just throwing out more races with their own sub races. Just a suggestion.
