D'ont forget that's the game is design by japanese people... And everytime they try to do some masculine badass thing, it's always, sadly, in a stereotypical/humoristic way...

I really accept the fact that many people like to play androgynous characters. But some people like us Highlanders or Roe have chosen our race because we want something MASCULINE. I'm getting so tired of robes, long coats and even ribbons as chest armor. Just as female characters with their itsy bitsy bikinis, let us men show the world our muscles dripping with testosterone ^^'

Being androgynous is not sexy for everyone...
