How about typical diets besides the fish and milk cliche? Are they still nomadic? If so, how much territory could they cover and how far will they go to defend themselves from meddling outsiders? These things can be more vital to a culture than relationships because women who are too tired or nervous may not want sex with anybody no matter how desirable he is, assuming they have any choice in the matter. It can be left in the hands of roleplayers, but then you'll have different stories from each person which makes for a confusing scene for those who aren't as familiar as the "experts" they see.
"During the Age of Endless Frost, as the seas turned to ice and passage over them became possible, Eorzea saw an influx of foreign fauna to her shores. This in turn brought the hunting tribes which subsisted upon them, the modern descendants of whom are today known as the Miqo'te."
It's suggested they were simply following the herds of prey animals migrating to Eorzea.
As for food, looking at the cooking stuff in the game, both seekers and keepers are apparently fond of skewering and grilling their food.
There are three recipies for Miq'abob, which are essentially shish kebab. Tuna Miq'abob is described as a traditional keeper dish, while Forest Miq'abob with mushrooms, and Meat Miqa'bob with dodo meat and tomatoes, are traditional seeker dishes.
So, we can at least say with some certainty that they aren't strict carnivores.
