Reason for Lack of Miqo'te in MSQ?

[Khalen_Shield]

I mean we get plenty of Lalafells... and a over abundent amount of Humans and Elfs. But where the hell are all the Miqote and Roe?

We have.... Y'shtola?(ForNow) Thats about it not count old lady F' who disappeared.

Are there any Miqote characters in any of the class stories? again all i've seen are every other race in them unless the Miqote is a baddy.


There was a absence lack of Mithra in FFXI too if I recall correctly, tons of humans and Elfs tho.

Miqo'te are prevalent/important in the black mage, archer, summoner, and arcanist stories I believe? Outside of that I can't really think of any, and there's definitely like... zero Miqo'te presence in the MSQ outside of Y'shtola and that one random short part in Thanalan.

I guess we gotta wait for a Expansion focus for Miqote? Because theres a tiny amount in ARR and Heavensworn(forareasontho)

it's either that or we're really just backdrop eye candy to Yoshi and SE.

The one guy who was there to whine at you for 50-60, otherwise it's pretty Lalafell-centric.

Not really many Au ra's either. But then again we are the refugees of Eorzea..

There are quite a lot of Miqote around. Maybe not in major significant roles though. Do remember we have been mainly hanging out in places like Ishgard recently were there are nearly no native Miqote. Part of the reason is Miqote tribes mainly live away from the main city state hubs.

So in story Miqote...
Y'shtola
F'lhaminn
Rhika (storm commander of Maelstrom)
Guild Master of the ACN guild
Shadow sect members in MNK quests
Y'mihtra, Y'shtola's sister and SMN quest giver
Ghara from the Crystal Tower
The Miqote from the Rogues guild whose name I forgot (V'kebe?)
Your opponent in the HW CUL quests
The Sister of Ash who's name I forget too.
Whatever Lyse's friends name is.

There are probably a lot more. I am tired and not really trying hard to think of any significant ones. Part of the issue is there isn't a Miqote dominant nation. Like their are with Roe, Lala, Elezen and Hyur (and soon to be Au Ra). As a result their presence is a lot more defused. That said, I certainly wouldn't be opposed to more Miqote turning up. I do notice that a lot of that list are Sunseekers.

There are heaps of Roe, particularly of the Sea Wolf variety.

It needs to be pointed out however that with the exception of Arcanist/Summoner/Scholar, All the V2.0 classes/jobs came directly from 1.0, including their storylines (though the cinematics changed a little,) so the lack of Male Miqo'te is because there were none in that game. I can't speak for the Rogue/Ninja class as I didn't play it, and it wasn't in V1.0 either. V3.0 takes place almost entirely in Ishgard, land of the Elezen.

Expect V5.0 to be the land of the Male Moonseekers to the east of Gridania, it would make sense.

(Though seriously, lore-wise, the Miqo'te came from somewhere else during the 5th Umbral era, so there is no reason not to find an actual cultural hub somewhere. If we take the lore as anything solid, it's likely that there is even another race of people with animal traits out there on the same continent.)
