I think a vast majority of roleplayers who play male Miqo'te do not roleplay tribal or traditional characters. Ryu' said that he feels hes in the "small percentage" of characters who don't understand or identify with traditional Miqo'te cultures. I'm arguing that characters like that are not a "small percentage," but instead a vast majority. Those who play traditional male Miqo'te characters, I feel, are in the minority. Especially Seeker males.(07-20-2013, 05:50 PM)DimmerMeerkat Wrote:(07-20-2013, 05:28 PM)Faiz Wrote: I feel as though I learned a fair bit having read this thread and most of its posts.

I've seen way more city-dwelling Miqo'te males than traditional tribal males, both among Seekers and Keepers.
I'm of the opinion that a lot of this is happening in some sort of off-screen or behind the curtain manner. Â For example, if you go outside Ul'dah, there's a single farm, whereas outside Limsa, there's quite a few farms and orchards. Â Is one farm supporting the entire populace of Ul'dah? Â Probably not. Â The vast majority of populations for all these races are never seen, because a truly realistic world would be too expansive to be captured in the game. Â The major cities, however, need that sort of description.
Sorry, it makes better sense now that I know you meant players. It's a shame they waited until 2.0 to add in male Miqo'te and female Roegadyn. We could have avoided the need for discussions like this. Hopefully we'll see a lot of Miqo'te lore fairly quickly.
