Male Miqote Model Thought

[Kurogaea]

A while back during beta, I chose the male miqote whm to start out. I was mostly enjoying the game then but even after a while I just wanted to change my character, mainly because he looked so weird wearing robes or tough looking gear. My first thought was that they looked to darn beefy for little guys and that sounded about right, as well as their intense "Im going to claw your eyes out stance" they have at default. Anyways I switched to fem miqote a while back making her as tomboyish/punkish as possible (Think I succeeded) and haven't touched them again.

So anyways, I went looking at pictures for fun and found this:

*This* is what I had in mind when I selected a male cat person. Slender (maybe less emo lookin), less bulky shoulders, and a hint of abs (which is cool). I guess this would't be a thing if we could just customize our whole character but I really don't have this issue anymore ( fem miqo ) so yeah, just a thought.

Edit: Found a picture of some male miqote models. Think it was 1.0 models, not sure.

Looks coooool, but not sure what class that is : O
(Its ffxi miqotoe npc, thnx for the heads up guys

I like the photos a lot! I doubt they'll change them, but it's nice art! I wish we could make males a bit taller..mine is max male high and he still seems so short xD

Yeah that bugged me too. I know we're cat people but Aura are basically lizards (no offense) give us some height to match hyurs at least right?

No, don't touch my miqote man or I'll show you my claws!

Lol, he looks kinda like a blue haired Neo in the first one. Pretty cool. X)

That is what kept me from being a male miqote.

You can get that babyface with like...face four or something. I swear it looks like twelve or so

The rest? Hmm... I'd be okay with as long as I can remain super short (I'm at minimum height). Maybe since people wanna be weird tall animals, there can just be more of a range? Maybe I can get...even shorter...

Yeeesss but it wouldn't look right with that body figure the male miqotes currently have. Kinda why I don't bother with em now. If I wanted to make a baby faced mobster miqote I'd do that for sure though. Hat, the suit, all that sweet jazz X)

Reminds me though, I don't know who liked GrahaTia's character much

Tiny, overeager readhead who lays on the hero worship something fierce after his into quest? Not that much of a mystery. He was also kinda in Lehko's situation for most of a full calendar year for being the only named male outside of Forgotten Springs. (Not counting K'hrid, who's in only one scene and can't be talked with after.) HW was a lot less restrictive on catmen in quests, but G'raha's still kind of a snowflake.

There are some pieces (like the Bard AF2) that make the characters wearing them look more slender than they do with gear unequipped, but for the most part they were limited by the base mesh used for all non-Lala races. Maybe they could have gotten their own body texture like Roes and Highlanders, but I know most of us at the time were too distracted by them being playable to nitpick.

I have mine also at min height, also wished I could make my Miniqo'te shorter We should get at least a few better options for them, muscle sliders and maybe being able to be a little taller or a little shorter doesn't sound so bad~

Edit: OT Slimmer kitties would be good, the buff-ish look might not exactly suit everyone / what they want for their characters (myself included) Also wished they could stop with the whole 'grabby hands' thing while they stand---the amount of times I've been asked what is wrong with my kitty's hands is just sad XD
