Thank the Twelve I made a mini-summary of why the Miqo'te are a cat-like race.
No, Valence, it's not fanservice. They are a feline race. That is incontestable, no matter what you think, prefer, would like, and dislike about it. They have feline traits. And unlike "fanservice-y" races seen in anime and japanese pop culture in general I think they have more animalistic trait and were made that way 75% because the dev find it an interesting lore-dynamic. Imo.
This thread is not the place to discuss it in my opinion, but I suggest you open a RP discussion thread about how the Miqo'te aren't "cat-like" if this is something you think is very important to discuss. I'll gladly join you there.
I'm going to hop out from the thread and unsubscribe. I want to see more headcanons from Naoh'ra though!Â
