    I would like 3 "drawn weapon" poses for each class at least.
    I would like "job" based idle stances.

    I always figured the claw hands pose *was* the boring pose for the male Miqo'te. And the stance isn't really unusually wide, it's actually pretty commonly used for displaying standing character models, called a square up, or simply 'stance' pose. I actually stand a lot like that at work to help keep my knees more relaxed so they don't get sore from standing for hours on end.

    I always kind of liked the claw hand thing with the males, and was a bit surprised the females did not do it as well, as I thought it gave them more than just ears and tails that look feline to set them apart from the other races. It was a nice touch you don't see a lot of other games or even series work in, and to me separated them a bit further from being merely nekomimi (cat-looking people), to actually being more like a race of people who exhibit feline features. Their lore and mannerisms make their appearance more than just superficial.

    Much as human fingers automatically tend to curl when left in a resting position at our sides due to the tendons in our hands not being acted on, I always figured the miqo'te just had a tighter neutral tendon pull, kind of making their hand shape a bit like a cat's paws. This isn't a 'pose' so much as just their natural, default resting position.
