I expect much of the traditional tribal territories have been overrun with monsters or laid waste by either Bahamut or Dalamud. This means the males can no longer hide away from civilisation, but must venture into it to find safety. Furthermore, many may embrace this as an opportunity to change their lot in life, to find mates in females who left behind the tribal way (or even from other races), or to simply experience new things.
I have little doubt that male Miqo'te NPCs will be uncommon, if not rare, let alone hostile mobs. This makes sense, as the vast majority of males would naturally become adventurers, learning the trades of the cities and looking for opportunities to find their place in an unfamiliar society.
That's a better explanation than any SE could conjure up, imo.
Also, while we have this question thread up, I have another question:Â
How common are these "sentient dragons" in Ishgard? What I've read says that Ishgard's military is almost entirely made of Dragoons and they couldn't spare any to the Grand Companies because they needed them. That leads me to believe that dragons are a pretty real threat, but does it take one Dragoon to kill a dragon or is it like a month-long military excursion to battle one? And how often are they showing up to wreck everyone's day?
I'm working on a character to replace A'sili Abarskyf as my designated Disciple of War, and he was going to be of Ishgard origin, so if anyone could help that'd be appreciated.
