male miqo'te - How would you like it to look?

[Zion_Cross]

Hey guys, I'm sure you've all seen the concept art for the new races... So I noticed in the roadmap, they show the concept of the male miqote to be a bit... too feminine... In all honesty I wouldn't see myself changing to that race if they looked like a girly guy.

Now hear me out... Wouldn't you, the people wanting the male miqote race to be a playable character, wish for it to be a little bit more manly? Like imagine a male miqote with similar body features like the famous Bruce lee had a firm core, toned. However his chest size is too big to be that one of a male miqote... Here's my depiction of what a male miqote should look like:

The shoulders would be broad, the chest size not too much, the core would be toned and a bit built, but still slim. The Forearms could be a bit more broad or just the normal size. I wish for the image of the male miqote to become more bad ass in general. To have similarities of the race, just not look like a girly boy.

Note: It's a quick doodle, just wanted to emphasize on the body's form.

Edit: At first glance I thought they looked a bit too feminine. But we haven't seen the animations and mannerisms yet, so I'll hold back on any further critique. Let's see how it unfolds in the future.

Discuss further on your thoughts bout the concept!

Honestly a cat man doesn't sound to manly to start with. They probably will be effeminate in some way or another. But that won't stop people from using them because they will be the new race and people will want to try them out. I would stick to my female mitote though.

If you think "cat man" yea, doesn't sound too manly. But you think more along the lines of Rei from Breath of Fire 3. It's pretty bad ass. It's the silent killer attitude/look that sets him off. I can see the game still going through with the effeminate male miqote, I wouldn't mind. Hell I'd probably still try it out lol. I want to see what the community thinks.

Effeminate Male Miqote? or Bad Ass Male Miqote?

Yes, I have. Just trying to get the general publics opinion on the matter, which would the community like best in the end? Not saying I don't like it. I would like the more manly version of it though.

at first i sort of agreed because it would fit my characters lore better if i decided to switch to that race, but on second thought we already have male Highlanders and Roegedyns. male Hyurs theymselves range from average joe to pretty manly.
wouldnt this be the perfect placement for a less macho race?

That's a good question, the more tamed and less macho could turn out as a good addition to the game. Hopefully in a way where the animations and mannerism would be something refreshing and not suggestive. Which I could see happening, since it's SE.

I had more ideas in terms of the body, for example, broad shoulders, thin upper core, but toned. The legs would be a bit more beefy or stronger, to show the genders agility and build as a male... not quite sure on how to express myself on that part. Anyways, it would display the male miqote to be agile over-all. Just putting it out there.

Now I wouldn't say that.

I'll personally be tempted to switch to man-qote due to my prevalene for slim agile characters. But my Elzen has grown on me over XI and XIV, so it may depend on the new creation options for Elzen as well. The Elves fit me better "Stature" wise as I'm tall, but the Miquote fit me better in class I prefer to play.

Either or is good for me...but what is better.

That one concept art image with the black haired manqote makes him seems to be slimmer than midlanders, and that looks okay. they'll either be reskinned midlanders with tails and new faces or something like this.
