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

His name is David Gaider. He works for BioWare.

Never heard of him, but I should look this man up. :x Giving to those who are usually discriminated against and left out... He has my respect. I hate when we don't have equal rights and options.

SE did a good thing putting some bi/homo flirting in XIV already. I'm proud of them. X3
I like that they've made it "ok" in Eorzea to be who you want. Encouraging equality~

But you already have masculine choices to choose from where as the person that wants the feminine male has none. Why should they have no options so that you can have one more?

To quote a very wise man in the gaming industry when faced with a similar predicament:

"the truth is that privilege always lies with the majority. They're so used to being catered to that they see the lack of catering as an imbalance. They don't see anything wrong with having things set up to suit them, what's everyone's fuss all about? That's the way it should be, any everyone else should be used to not getting what they want."

Obviously they are adding this option to offer an alternative that does not currently exist. Why should you really expect them to give you yet another option and deny others who don't even have one to their liking?

At what point did I say you should deny anyone anything? I said, at the end of my post, they should give the ability to let people make what they want instead of pigeon-holing everyone. As cute as your wise-man post is it is absolutely meaningless to the context of what I said.

Fact of the matter is you think people should only have the option of making sissy cat-men while I said people should have both options and above. Take your own advice from your redundant quote.

No, the extra fat will ruin my Hiir stew.

Exactly. Games much older have faaaaaaaaaaaar superior character creating abilities. People want to make yaoi cat-men they should be able to. If people want to make more masculine cat-men they should be able to.

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!

Well I wish they weren't too feminin >__<
Cuz the Miqo'tes (female ones) are already very sexy and feminin (and kinda girlish looking)
Therefore I would like the male ones to be pretty too, but not too feminin looking, otherwise you can't differ them (hope that sounds correct xD)

I don't really want their face to be "too" soft with thin eyebrows. that kinda looks weird for a man >__>
I really like your scribble btw. Zion and like on the real artwork I like how they draw the ears of a male Miqo'te. :3
Let's hope they keep that cuz it looks cute and is something else (ya I know in XI they looked the same =P)
well here's a quick scribble I did how I would like their faces. (not too thin eyebrows, still bishi looking so they have something with the female miqotes in common -> but not too soft) ya and dishevelled/wild looking hair looks awesome *giggle* (ah and I tried not to draw a tiny nose =P)

If People are going to ask to be able to customize male miqo'te to look more manly, I want to ask for a skinny-ass feminine-looking male hyur. Can I haz pretty boy hyur man?

Edit: For serious though~ Perhaps, rather than making this male Miqo'te thread into an "I want options thread, " someone should start that thread right now for more body types, for it to be better organized, on-topic, and easier seen by the community reps. Then those who agree can go post in there. I'd go leave a post.

Hiir cries whenever she's mistaken for a male Lalafell. ; ;

*giggle*
when I saw a char like urs running around I also thought it was a male Lalafell xD
Then there was another one (with same hair, just other colour and different eyes) running around in her underwear it was like .. OMG! that's a female Lalafell x'DDDD

but back to topic. well I still like the original design of male miqo'tes also the body figure (not sure if that word exists xD) but I hope we can change their face enough so they don't look too feminin.
A smaller body is ok, cuz cats need to be agile and fast ... but men doesn't need to look like woman! ^^
