Do think we will ever see male mithra one day??

[Cbot]

I wish I could be one,then all my race complex would be solved.

[Kailea]

no there will never be Male Mithra, would go against the story line and against the Mithra culture, besides if you want to be a MIthra that bad be one, so what if you would be a female, if you are secure with your manlyness then you should not have a problem

and yeah I know responding with that will start some BS war but that is what it all breaks down to anyway.

..... glad to have intelligent posters.....

[Hisdon]

is there even a male Mithra NPC? :| I wonder what they look like

[little ninja]

arent the male mithras suppose to be the ones that stay home an cook an clean? as does the storyline go. then why arent there any male mithras in the houses, the shops or wondering around shopping?

i already have my image of the male mithra. hed look like LIONO from the cartoon the THUNDERCATS.. THUNDERCATS HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :thumbsup:

[Kailea]

lol

[Pai Pai Master]

Apparently there is one male Mithra in all of Vana'diel. He's in Kazham and you can pay 50,000 gil to gawk at him.

But no, there are male Mithra, they just aren't playable, and I don't think there will be. Given the storyline of FFXI, I doubt we'll ever see more races added to the game.

[modnar]

I do think that they could add new races to play... I mean how hard would it be to be able to choose "beastmen" as your race...
I would require minimal programming I would think.

More on the subject though: ok, we can't be male mithras. I guess that is why we can't be hume children, or those fat chubby male hume NPCs, because it does not fit with story and scenario...

But why can't we SEE male Mithras...!? We see all kinds of people all over the place that we can't choose to "play". But why is it such a mystery that someone has not seen a male Mithra yet... we see child Mithras... all female...

Again, I am not getting to the part about us not playing male Mithras (Mithros?), just WHY CAN'T WE SEE THEM?!

[Lone Dragon]

Will we ever see Male Mithra?
Eventually yes, when they finally add the Mithran Homeland which I believe to be in the Far South (not Elshimo.)

Will we ever play as Male Mithra?
Doubtful, as much as I'd like to play as one (if they're Ronso-ish), it doesn't look likely.

[Kiyosuki]

I never understood the thing some men have about playing female characters..

I never understood the thing some men have about playing female characters..

I can explain that.....if I am going to stare at something for 8 hours or so out of the day....I want it to be something I will want to look at. l sorry but I just dont want to stare at a guy for 4+ hours every day :p

Boo, Kailea-D beat me... ;_; Anyway, that's what my bro and my friends would say too lol my bro: 'because I am straight'

Well, since people post that question, I'd dare to ask: what's wrong with players playing opposite sex? I didn't know I am a catgirl IRL... it's just a character, just like there are people who play female characters in fighting games, and those who play male in them... do you not play yuna in FFX-2? I think you only get to play as girls...

Well, may be it's just me that don't go online to look for a love(not gonna fall for anyone 200000 miles from my place, you see), so I never care if the player behind the screen is a guy or a girl.

As to the topic: like everyone said, I doubt male mithra would be put in, that'd destroy the whole story of Mithra being a female dominant race...
and wouldn't putting new race in a bit unfair to the players that played for 6 months+? I would want to remake if they made a new race that interested me, but then I would have to delete my existing character to make one? O.o; I know it's only a game, but starting from scratch after you had so much stuffs...

[Genuine]

Well, I don't know about some of you, but I do NOT want some hairy Galka hitting on me. Theres nothing in the world that would make me be a Female Charector on an online game. Thats truly defines "WTF!?"

[Kailea]

you know what, this is why some people are afraid to be female in a game, you are truly a narrow minded person if you truly think this, I have been a female on evry MMORPG I have played and have been it on many times, there is nothing wrong with it, heck I find it funny. If people hitting on you in a MMORPG bothers you THIS much then you truly have some issues you need to seek out.

You think I have issues? Well, Sorry man, I don't swing that way. If you enjoy men trying to pick you up, then, knock yourself out but I for one do not. It is complety gay if you enjoy another man hitting on you. Yeah, It might be funny to see someone think your a female, but, thats like being a cross dresser. Its no deferent then walking out into the streets with inflatable boobs and a hooker out fit.

And I STILL don't know what your getting at when you say this;

If people hitting on you in a MMORPG bothers you THIS much There not "People" (well yeah there people) but there men! I can see a girl hitting on me or me hitting on a girl but....a guy? No, Im sorry, thats so wrong.

[Cali]

Wel well, just because I asked a question(I somehow knew it was a flamebait), don't turn it into a flamethread ^^; I hope I am not in a gamefaqs forum, I have never been in one, and I don't want to.

Anyhow, both of you need to calm down... For those who play opposite sex, they have their rights, for those that don't, they have their rights too..

I would play a male character(yes, I am a girl), if the stat/look of the character matched my style... afterall its a character that I will have to face for the rest of the game, I would rather it be something pretty, than something I wouldn't want to see after 2 minutes... I really don't see why some people take online gender so seriously....

I think, if it was made at the start, mithra should be male/female, and taru should be female only... because I don't usually link cute and male together XD (love K' style in KOF)

[Kailea]

that is what I am getting at.....gender does not matter, but to him it seems that it would kill him to be female, and no I dont like being hit on, someone does and all I say is sorry man I am a guy, and they stop. No big deal, and yes I do think you have problems to get this worked up over the idea that being the opiste sex is wrong aka. Thats truly defines "WTF!?" as you stated above.

look I am not saying what you should do or think, I am just saying there is nothing wrong with being a diffrent sex or race then what you are in RL.....that IS why it is called a game.....and it IS just a game, so get over it.

[Genuine]

and yes I do think you have problems to get this worked up over the idea that being the opiste sex is wrong aka. wow, who ever said I was "worked up" im just stating my opinion, If you disagree, fine, its you problem. and to think that im worked up would probly mean that your getting "worked up" over this too. So Ill just end it here, I think playing as an oposite sex not straight, but, if you want to do it, fine, end of conversation. Now back to topic, lol a guy mithra, thatd be wierd looking.

So wut Kail, if hes homophobic dont mean shit. I'd hate being hit on by a mithra to think its some 40 year old guy on the other side. We dont like dressing up as a chick and then get some name like Kailea. If your not a woman in rl, why act like one? Unless your the one with the problems.

Oh and by the way, if your going to hit on someone in-game, you must be pretty desperate. I mean I've never even considered hitting on someone unless I've met them in person, maybe you should change your association Kail? I dont blame Gen for his feeling either, it's just sick.

[Ayia]

so what i'm a 60 year old guy who has a internet connection out of jail, hitting on kids is fun! "come here lil boi! HAHAHAHAHAHA" was that the soap? =D

some people are just messing around when they come up to you and /poke, lol but some people think there being harassed, so turn that frown up side-down :]

EDIT~ X.x

[Buuyon]

err people who say they play a girl char because they dont like looking at a guy when they are playing(or what most say...a guys ass) are hiding something...there is more to look at then the person...

[modnar]

This reflects my view. Just because I bring a dictionary to show it does not mean it is a fact. Just my view.

char·ac·ter n.
1. The combination of qualities or features that distinguishes one person, group, or thing from another. See Synonyms at disposition.
2. A distinguishing feature or attribute, as of an individual, group, or category. See Synonyms at quality.
3. Genetics. A structure, function, or attribute determined by a gene or group of genes.
4. Moral or ethical strength.
5. A description of a person's attributes, traits, or abilities.
6. A formal written statement as to competency and dependability, given by an employer to a former employee; a recommendation.
7. Public estimation of someone; reputation: personal attacks that damaged her character.
8. Status or role; capacity: in his character as the father.

9. (a) A notable or well-known person; a personage.
9. (b) A person, especially one who is peculiar or eccentric: a shady character; catcalls from some character in the back row.

10 (a) A person portrayed in an artistic piece, such as a drama or novel.
10 (b) Characterization in fiction or drama: a script that is weak in plot but strong in character.
11. A mark or symbol used in a writing system.


Out of the definitions used above, when I choose my "character", the definitions that come to mind are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10.

Whats my point? Its MY character! I interact with 100s of people and I act completely NORMAL without a second thought. Do you know why? Becuase "modnar" is as close as possible in "character" as me in real life.

When I bow and salute, that is me giving respect and salutations. When I /laugh, that is me laughing. When I /cry that is me after being killed and raised :P

There is no acting in the game I play. Its just a representation of me on the screen. You take me out of Earth and put me in Vanadiel and give me the same spells as Modnar the Red Mage, and I will be acting the same way! (... well, I might run a bit faster when Running away because of fear, but that is besides the point).

When I walk in Vanadiel and someone recognizes me, they sometimes bow. Others even /salute and /kneel. Because they respect my "character".

Others do not have that idea of the "persona" they play. I know a father who plays with his daughter FFXI. Both are Mithras. I once helped the father with a Protect and Cure, and he "/emote gives Modnar a big kitty hug".

Not sure if he does that in rl, but I think it is safe to say he was just acting what he thought a Mithra would act like...

For me it is not that way at all.

You come to me into this game and force me into playing a female character, and things get completly messed up in for me. Why? Because that is not me on the screen. I do not feel a connection. I get the impression I have to act different. When I /bow, I want to bow like I usualy do... a female character does a "curtsy bow", which does not have the same meaning to me. When I /wave, my hand goes above my head while waving... I donot keep my hand next to my chest and wave it...

Its just not me and it would just feel out of place for me.

"Modnar" is a guy that acts and looks the way I wanted him to look and that makes me happy and keeps me in the game. Now you can give me "Modnara" (my mule), and it would not be the same for me. I use Modnara for AH stuff and so I do walk around town with her... but she is only a tool, not something that represents me in the game.

This came out longer than I thought it would be, but I hate it when ppl accuse others of being "messed up" or insecure because they don't like the idea of playing female characters on a MMORPG.

Its not insecurity... its my CHARACTER (damn it!)

[Kiyosuki]

It just seems so ridiculous to me..

I mean..its not like your actually turning yourself into a woman or something, or vise versa, its just for fun.

Perfect example, back in Phantasy Star Online, I played a HUnewearl, not only cause they looked bloody awsome, but because I liked the balance of physical prowess and technique ability, (And come on..the HUmar's just..sucked in the GC version in comparison to the HUnewearl's. <3 Shifta/Deban/Jellen/Zalure.)

But there were some guys out there that were *terrified* of being caught playing as any of the female classes, which was just..odd to me..seeing as how it wasn't even literally a gender change..but just a mere class change (As only the HUnewearl fought the way she did, only the RAmarl fought the way she did and so on.) I swear I could pretend to be a real woman playing as HUnewearl and get free stuff up to my neck talking the right way if I wanted too (But that was such a cheap tactic..)
Where as a female gamer I know (or knew back then) played as a RAmar, and told people she was a chick and no one believed her. When I told some people I was a guy most just shoved it off and said they had a femme character too, but some people were genuinly shocked a guy would play a girl. Is it really that big of a deal?

Ofcourse here in FFXI its a bit different because there's a male and female version for each race and there's no difference between gender's..just cosmetic. (except Galka and Mithra.) But sometimes the females are just cooler than the males..and sometimes vise versa. But its just for fun..honestly I'm trying to think of some kind of answer to this but I seriously can't figure it out.

I guess its cause it threatens some men's sexuality or whatever, if you ask me this constant downright fear of anything feminine or unmasculine is whats making so many men in the modern world so damn mentally weak and afraid of growth..

My grandfather told me when I was little, that a real strong man has the strength to understand, and arn't afraid of themselves. Men who hide from things like looking femine, or appearing weak are the real weaklings, and I still believe that to this day.

Eh, I'm getting too deep now, but it still boggles my mind, but you have to do what you have to do.

[Cali]

Calm down with the personal attacks... go do it in PMs... Some people just can't do a normal discussion except to talk about someone's personal life, which they have no idea of, and to cause a misery to all people around, because they think they are so cool to dare to attack someone's personal life.

Anyway, I was mainly referring to Kiyosuki anyway, when I posed the question.
Yea, that's what I thought as well, if I played a RAcaseal in PSO, it doesn't mean I have to get myself made into an android. If I'm a guy, I'd still talk like a guy... If I don't care about online gender, there gotta be someone that does the same...If you are gonna freak out that I am not a female bot IRL, then fine by me... I paid for the game, and I choose look > stat, so I will continue to play whatever I want regardless of the gender... which is why I think Mithra is fine the way it is...
It's just a character... people come in all sort of things, there are people who have cat-girl fetish, some people just love agi/dex character...

But then, yeah, if you are homophobic, you should just stay as male character... neither side should comment on eachother's idea of 'character'... As long as you don't get to the point when you say 'You are all gay, there is no female gamer', then I am fine about it...

Kailea calm down too ^^;; Genuine 1st reply said clearing that's his opinion on the topic.

PS: I am happy that Mithra is female only and agi/dex =3 I have cat-girl fetish, and I like agi-dex lol... and no I am not a guy.

PSS: The "homophobic" reminds me of one thing my teacher told me in school, but I guess I shouldn't pull that out as some people might take it offensively. And it's off topic.

[Ayia]

You can have a Galka-sex-change in {Lower Jeuno} (G-9) if they gave you male mithra it'd be like a hume only coller cause hes got a tail *aka Zidane style ^^* then humes would go extinct.


lol >.0

[Hisdon]

in WoW my NE is a female, why? Cause the men look gay, hell they even dance like MJ. They look good in caster clothing but are HORRIBLY ugly in anything else pretty much (there's like 1 male NE hairstyle I like-rest are just plain icky) NE's are a lot like Mithras in the sence that the women are usually the soldiers (NE female warriors/rouges look a lot better than the males in the armors, period.) and the males are casters (druid/priest the men look better, hunter is 50/50 really)

Do people really care that you play a female char? No, most people do have a female NE melee of somekind that do play allaince. They just plain look cooler. This relates a lot to Mithras, some people like the way Mithras look in the armors, and go it for stats/ect, no one really cares about it >.> (no one mentioned female players who have male avatars, I've met em)

[Kailea]

bah...Hoto yeah you are right I need to chill, I just hate it when people cant understand this concept, it really bothers me -.- oh well like others have said, to each his own :p

[modnar]

I don't know if my point came across or not. And there seem to be replies after my post... but I am not sure if they are replies TO my post...

But let me put a few bullet points just in case people did not get me:

- I am talking about MY "modnar". Other people are playing female characters and they are male rl is fine with me. Does not "scare" me or bother me at all. The only thing that bother me in the game are people that are rude (yes, male or female, irl or online!).

- Caught dead playing a female character? I played Tomb Raider, I played Chun-Li, I played Jun, I played Samus, I played Yuna... (there are probably more, just can't remember at the moment). I never gave a second thought to if this persona was a male or female. Not like I will not play Tomb Raider because it is a girl, or not play Metroid when I found out that it was a girl back in 1988. And I was of a young mind in a school full of people that are looking for ANYTHING to tease you about, and Samus being a girl did not even put a dot ANYWHERE.

- We are talking about a choice here. Do I want to look like that, or look like this? You make you choices and I make mine. And my choices come from the prefence (MY preference) to make the online character "modnar" as close as possible as the real me. Would I mind if "modnar" was a female, YES I WOULD MIND! If given no choice BUT to play female characters in FFXI would I play FFXI, YES I will... but I will not be creating a "modnar" character. I would be creating something else that would be based on some other preferences.

- Why are preferences and choices looked down upon?! Can I please play a male character withouth being called "homophobic""!? Do I have to create a female character in order to not be categorized... :(

I'll just get back to the game. There is so much judgement on this discussion, and I don't like my character to be put on trial.

[Genuine]

I for one do not want some hairy Galka hitting on me. I don't see the point of being a Mithra,yeah there fine and there stats are nice, but is it worth it? you could be doing a Maat fight when some person who thought you were a girl starts asking you out......thats not good. you will probly die and the person would break ther heart (no i dont know anyone who would break there heart over a pixel female) but there are some people out there who would. So still you can play as one if you want im not saying anything about it but thats again, my opinion. oh and I dont think its "homophobic" to play as a female, it could be good in some senses but bad in others. and its not gay to play as a male, id rather see a hot mithra on my screen for 4hrs a weekend,but, I dont look at my charectors ass when I play the game ,lol, I just play the game. but whatever its your choice. :o

Uh...okay. O.o

Well I for one am not a Mithra, I'm a Female Hume. I'm also gay in reality, but that is definitely not the reason why I chose to be a female. Why the hell would I want to hit on some nasty geeky kids with pizza faces by pretending to be a girl? Instead I could just go to a gay bar/dance club and find people there that would be much more attractive.

Sorry to burst your bubble but your perception of homosexuals is extremely warped. How old are you? 13? Even though our generation is a lot more open minded than some of the previous ones, I still find that there are plenty of narrow minded people out there.

In fact, I bet you are one of those guys that sits there and moons over any female character they see in hopes that it may be some girl desperate enough to actually consider talking to you outside of the game.

[Taurus]

Get back on topic please ^^

[Gtsgunner]

heh that last post is pretty funny but its hard to get back on topic >_<

Any way I kinda in the same boat as Modnar.

The Reason I wouldn't want to be a female char is because it wouldn't be me. If I was a female char I'd have this constant feeling to act like a female. Maybe not every one feels that way with a female char but thats the way I feel.

In MY opinion I like to act the way I do in RL online and that means being a male char or I would have a fake personality or something:spin:

now heres the thing what happened if there was no race like if there were just all females or all males then I wouldn't feel different because there is no difference but when I'm a female char in the game I'll be first looked on by all others as a female instead of a male.

and again Its because in games such as this I like to represent my physical self and not something of the other gender where people could misinterpret who I am.

I don't like being called a homophobe though just because I don't like playing a female char though. I mean hell if you like playing a female char go for it I won't care. Its just not my cup of tea playing something that I am not.

Now its different in mmorpgs compared to other games just because in mmorpg's you interact with other people instead of in games such as metriod or ffx-2

And to tell you the Truth I know a shit load of people who play mmorpg's just for the socailization how wierd that may be to some. My best friends girlfriend plays it for that reason.

And again I don't like to play a female char just because "TO ME" it feels as if I'm not playing who I "Me" am/is and thus would feel to act with a different personaity not my own. This doesn't bother me with mithras as much just because to me 75% of all mithra's I assume they are guy's since guys play mmorpg's more then girls.

and back to topic I think Male mithra's would own just cuz like that one guy said Hume with tail = UBER :thumbsup:

"Is that a boy and a boy?"
"Is that a girl and a girl"
"Is that a girl and a boy?"

[Aeolus]

I think you seem to forget its a game and if you feel the need to start "hitting" on someone because their char is female then youve got the problem and not the person playing. I went a mithra because I think other characters look stupid and in some armour they look really silliy but alot of male characters just have to start showing off or saying things about sex as soon as they see im a mithra, I'm not they one with a problem.

Edit: Sorry I did actually have something on topic to say.

I dont think sqaure will ever put in a Male mithra as a playable character because that would really tick off all those people that went mithra but would have gone a male one had it been available. Prolly see a male in a cutscene though.

We're not the ones with the problems. :handsdown

[Eros]

I'm a female playing a male character, and I dont see the big deal. O_o I just wanna stare at a male butt all day rather than a girl's.

Though, truly, I would have LOVED to play a male Mithra. XD

[Materia Hunter]

1) Male Mithra would rule so hard. Catboi! Mmmsexi.

2) A guy playing a NE male is more gay than a guy playing a NE female.

3) I don't care what gender you are IRL. I'm not dating you over FF XI.

wow posting that made you loose some IQ points there......and I lost some from reading it -.- man if you think this way then you are truly the one with some problems..

like I said before...

Male Mithra will never be....would have to change to much of the story and Mithra backline

Haveing problems being a Female charater online, or the idea of males, playing females is something that you have to deal with.

All these excuses like "I dont want to be hit on" or "I dont want to marry a guy ingame" these are not good enuff IMNO

if you want the stats taht Mithra get BE A MITHRA and roleplay, I haave done it for a year and 3 months and it makes the game alot more entertaining

[Rai|Kye]

i dont see any difference between male/female mithras >>
if guys want males so bad go and change your .dat to what evre model you like...

S-E knows that sex sells so there wont be any male mithras :p

Zidane from FFIX...


Guys. Why is this such a catalyst subject? Read the subject line: Do you think we will ever *see* male mithra one day??

We got the part about the story. We got the part about them not being playable characters. We got the part about self-conscious people that would prefer not to play female characters. We got the part about people with "problems". We got the part about the people without "problems".

Why do all these things come up over and over again?

Do you think we will ever SEE a male mithra one day? I don't care if the Male Mithra is in shown in a photo frame, as a figure in the clouds, or inside a Mithran retirement home.

WHERE ARE THEY? That is the question that presents itself.

[Langolier]

I really do think it would be reasonable if at the end of a quest or a mission you would see one Male Mithra NPC.

[Aeolus]

Probably the best argument in the defense of not wanting male mithra's you could come up with. ;)

Male mithra character I invented and doodled while waiting for my Windurst Mission 6-1 group.

The theory I built around this character is that the male half of the mithra population is nearly extinct, and thus kept isolated in a secluded village deeper into the Yhoator/Yhutunga Jungle. There they live a spoiled life and goes through a breeding ritual every second month or so (speculated on full moon festival...).

Harkoth here is a rebel. He ran away from the village, hid aboard the airship and eventually ent up in Windurst wich he made his new home. Got trained as a Black Mage by an eccentric anarchistic War Warlock who liked his attitude.
He operates as an undercover secret agent for Windurst, mostly doing dirty work for the ministries.
He has a triggerhappy, selfish and carefree attitude, violent mood swings, a hate towards Elves and religion in most forms as he is an ateist with strong arcane-scientific knowledge. He is a great follower of Ajido-Marujido and his opinions and works to keep his research on the Ancient Hortotu Ruins Magic alive.
His carefree and violent nature along with his arsenal of Black Magic usually results in whatever task he is sent to do ends up with massive carnage and a large crater.


For the record, the neck and chest got horrendously deformed. It's at times like these I feel like I should learn to sketch rather than directly ink stuff. <_<

Eh, you already can see the male counterparts to Mithra's, they are on Cartoon Network, whenever they air "Thundercats".

Maybe herm Mithras.
Then everyone is happy.
Who cares of gender?

Ok so perhaps that haiku wasn't helpful. I don't think Square-enix will make male mithras but I'm sure you can keep asking them. Just roleplay or whatever to get through it.

This is pretty much my stance. Mithra are hermaphroditic (being one of both sexes for those of you whom have not heard that terminology). A lot of doujinshi out there agree with this theorm, but then again those are japanese artists with a lot of spare time on their hands.

So basically...you can believe the following:
1) There are male mithra, but they're in the mog house area where no one can look around
2) There are male mithra, but they are permanently locked up in sex chamber areas
3) There are no male mithra, Mithra are hermaphroditic.

Name your poison, pour a glass, and take the slug

Acualy SE them selfs said in the Mithra's description that MIthra had both male and female, but the females are the ones that go out and aventure......

((The Mithra are a predominantly female race of hunters who live alongside the Tarutaru in Windurst. They are easily identified by their characteristic ears, which give them spectacular hearing ability, and their long tails, which result in an unparalleled sense of balance. They are known for their energy, curiosity, and their penchant for causing playful mischief. The Mithra enjoy a friendly relationship with the Tarutaru, and this attitude of mutual cooperation has made Windurst a nation of peace and prosperity. ))

The Galka are the ones that are hermaphroditic, because they reproduce by reincarnation, and do not have any females

[Silkiv]

Ok, I just figured maybe S-E just said that because it was easier for their customers to believe.

There has to be lots of male mithra then, since there are several thousand mithra. Taking into consideration that many mithra choose to be single and would decline male advances.

They are never seen;
Yet in theory they exist.
Toilets, male Mithras.

A haiku for those who want a movement to free the invisible "2nd class citizen.

There should be a mentioning of males by npcs to disprove the hermaphrodite theory. Maybe a quest to clear up the misunderstanding.

However I doubt Npc's will mention male mithras or have a quest to prove/disprove any theory. Either call it laziness on S-E's part, or the fact that male mithras or herm theory would appall the general public who just want their catgrrls, but not their catbois.

:p :sweat:

[Deathguise]

I hope we never see a male mithra for a race choice, all the Manthra's out there would be quite angry.
:/

That's what SE WANTS you to think. Or what their translators over here believe is PC enough to be released as truth.

Nah I'm just pullin your leg, but you do hafta admit it is a tad fishy that you see no Mithran males.

[Kailea]

Well....my Mother told me about the males one day, and I aculay thought I saw one.......but my little Taru man is plenty for me anyway ^.^

[UnnamedGalka]

why would you want to see a male mithra you cocksucking furry faggot?

Translation: Admins, please ban me!

Really, I don't understand why some people feel the need to be as rude and annoying as they possibly can.

Anyway, back on topic...we may see male Mithras one day, but only as NPCs...I don't think it'd be feasible to add in a new character type at this point...not to mention how terribly unfair it would be to those people who wanted to be male Mithras, but had to settle with being female or a male of another race since male Mithras weren't available at the time they made their characters.

[LadyPeorth]

Green stripey tiger is from He-Man...not from Thundercats.

Maybe one day we'll see a male mithra...one day...in a far off time...

[Snowball]

Yeah, sorry about that. Only remembered it about 5 mins later after reading the amusing post about Thundercats.
He-man's Trusty sidekick, Cringer, as he does a transformation into the fearless...... Battlecat!!
:cool:

[Elrundir]

I have suddenly been reminded of She-ra. She had a horse that transformed into a... winged horse? Wow, I haven't seen that show in about 12 years. Those were the days.

Um. On-topic. Right. Male Mithras? I think the possibility that we'll see them is *static as he goes through a tunnel, connection dies*.

[FuLL_MeTaL1]

there should be a few new races, if u ever player ff tactics advance you would know what i mean....bangaa, nou mu, viera.........sorry i havnt played yet me card doesnt support ff11 so im ordering 1.....

[Fingus]

Bangaa = Galka

Viera = Mithra



So... Nah.

[Macht]

Wow, this has to be the slowest growing thread and yet the oldest that I see still going. That's kind of amazing in itself.

As for Male Mithras, the story line has them depicted as being quite secluded. It also seems to depict the Mithra's characteristics straight from what would be cat-like. As a result of that in the cat kingdom the males never really leave the territory they establish as theirs, the females generally end up doing most of the major work.

So the Females job in a cat world is usually hunting, gathering, minor territory disputes, and child-bearing/rasing. The Males is basically sleep, and major territory disputes. So if they ever do show any Male Mithra's the most likely time would probably be if the story line ever depicts Kazham as being under direct attack.

I am sure every Mithra, deep inside, wants to have a penis.

You can read that in two ways.

[Kailea]

[Tokitoki]

Will you ever see Male Mithras?

No, because then you cant tease your male friends when it says "xxxx invites you to HER party." ;p
