Lore questions about Miqo'te

[Mahri]

When you put on the Dreadwyrm Tonban of Casting/Healing, the answer if very obviously yes lol. I mean, unless Miqo'te religiously shave/wax their entire bodies. Ow.

The in-game graphics are a very poor indicator of body hair, seeing as how every single person, all races, all sexes, are shown 100% hairless below the neck. This is a (disappointing) graphical shortcut.

Yes, people in Eorzea have body hair. This includes the cats.

If you disagree, look at people IRL with thick eyebrows, and then look at my eyebrows here. What do they tell you? Exactly.

I believe the question OP had was more in tune with "are Miqo'te covered in so much hair so as to resemble having cat fur?" Much like the Mithra in FFXI.

That doesn't appear to be the case here in FFXIV. It's not a complete lack of body hair that is being argued for. Just that you know, we see people's skin/skin color, not a blanket of hair/fur covering their bodies. Why else give Miqo'te a skin tone option if they were so hairy?
