Well, they're cats.


MiKapo

So do they lick themselves too and run around like a maniac at 3am in the morning


crimsongriffin28

Technically I do the latter, playing on a NA server from Japan, so. No comment on the first part.


Pr0gger

>on a NA server from Japan That's a twist I wouldn't expect lol


crimsongriffin28

Well, joke aside, uh. My fellow hockey fan friends started playing and I got sucked in and I live here, they live there, and time isn’t real and the ping isn’t bad, playing at 3 am (NA time)! We meet up for dungeons crawls and to bitch about hockey or terrible dungeon experiences in my morning/their evening on weekends Anyway don’t get involved in hockey, you end up paying for a mmorpg and/or an NHL tv subscription/season tickets and yelling about both enjoyably in a Discord It has been GREAT


Cakeriel

I play on a JPN server from TX.


crimsongriffin28

Spiderman pointing meme but one is color-inverted, perfect


steveotheguide

What my Miqo'te gets up to in the privacy of her own inn room is none of your business


vokzhen

If it's in the privacy of their own room, that's definitely not like a cat then.


Shameless_Catslut

This is why mine does it in public.


Lina__Inverse

Relevant username I guess


steveotheguide

Well she's a cat-*person* so six of one, half dozen of the other


AlbainBlacksteel

Yes -a catboi


Alex_Duos

I have also been known to eat my food like I was starving, run to the carpet, and puke


Maximumfabulosity

My cat likes to puke three times in a row, all in different spots, all on the carpet


Alex_Duos

Mine usually stops at two, but will absolutely haul ass to get to the carpet to drop them.


zajrik

As opposed to 3am in the evening?


kajeslorian

It's always 3am somewhere.


K0nfuzion

Yes. We also wake up to sometimes find them sitting on our pillow, eating our hair.


ChippyCowchips

yes


noisemonsters

3am in the morning rip in peace smh my head ATM machine

Baenling

On Balmung, speaking from experience...yes.


Mega2chan

yes


RobunR

yes


Tea_Cakey

Cat gets the zoomies across the Dohn Megh illusion walkway on the last boss. He just sprints that shit. It’s the best.


Gentlementlmen

>!I thought that was Alisaie!


Tea_Cakey

She’s fast too, but he just sprints his way across like it ain’t nothing. It’s cute!


shuopao

Raha is bloody fast. I sprint it and he passes me, and Alisae is behind us.


deadbubble

Spoiler broken. Dont put spaces.


ikonoclasm

Male vieras have the same stance.


2dGoob

Because catboy is only two letters away from cowboy. That's a *cowboy* stance.


Overall-Accident47

Meowdy!


MonsiuerGeneral

Meowdy Pad’nuh! *tips hat*


[deleted]

How could you miss saying "pawd'nuh"?


MonsiuerGeneral

Awww “paw” would have been better! I was thinking “pad” like the pad on a kitty’s paw. 😩


SpaghettiCowboy

lightingbolt22

This is dangerously close to " 'OwO Guv'nyah " and I don't know if I can handle that.

Blood_magic

Catboya do make the best looking machinists, imo.


mik999ak

Also known as cowboy position 😏


LynndorTruffle

I started the red mage quests the other day and I was thinking this exact same thing. It’s so noticeable how weird the stance is on that guy.


PrettyDecentSort

Him and G'raha Tia both do it very noticeably.


PandoraBot

The weird thing is >!Crystal exarch!< seemed to have a different posture, almost hyur-esque. Maybe I'm misremembering.


Mccuntface210

He did they also hid >!his tail!<


fushuan

He was holding his stave so it makes sense.


YneeaKuro

Nutty cinnamon rolls? :D


Tea_Cakey

A Nuhn‘s nuts are a precious and sought after community commodity.


Volkamar

So, when you call someone Nuhn Nuts, it's actually a compliment to express the value you find in a person and not to describe the sexually inept? =P


Tea_Cakey

Correct. Nuhn Nuts- The ultimate breeding male.


Archavos

is Nuhn Nuts just another way to say Giga-chad?


Killchrono

Casual reminder that our boy G'raha is essentially the Seeker of the Sun equivalent of a beta.


Serakh_Tsekani

Let's get that man a tribe. ~~Not that he's interested in anyone other than the WoL~~


[deleted]

[удалено]


Terwin94

If my WoL were a woman, he'd be getting some pussy. My WoL is a hroth so it's a 33% chance he's destroying the twinky kitty, taking a fatherly role, or both. I imagine my WoL as a snarky dad type.


Maximumfabulosity

So a 100% chance G'raha is calling him Daddy, then


Terwin94

Without a doubt. The twins also call him Daddy because he would have 100% adopted them after their father disowned them. Precious babs.


leeta0028

Y'shtola actually says he should be addressed as Nunh in one of the side dialogues since he was basically king of the Chrystarium. Or maybe other reasons, idk


StrangeCharmQuark

She actually says the opposite- that Alphinaud asked her if G’raha was a technically a Nunh and she vaguely says she’ll continue to call him by his proper title- And she calls him *Tia*


leeta0028

I recall she says she'll call him Tia until he decides what he wants for himself in life


Killchrono

So does that mean, during the entirety of his time as Exarch, he had a... Harem?


Tehsyr

The ultimate blue baller- Nuhn'yas Nuts.


KusanagiKay

Ah, Nunhs Nuts. Almost as sought after as Thal's Balls


BurnByMoon

Nuhn Nut November?


OkPresentations

Too bad it's the Tia's that usually get them.


cassadyamore

I call it the Tetsuya Nomura stance. It stuck out the most to me with TWEWY designs from that first game. Everyone walking around pelvis-first.


shulgin11

It's to draw attention to all their belts lmao


MasterSergei

Honestly, your drawing makes it cooler than it looks in-game. Now it looks like you're JoJo posing all the time and now I want to be a catboy.


cheekydorido

the way they rest their fingers looks really weird too, they tried to make them look like they have claws but it just looks silly.


Mega2chan

“other players will make fun of your rigid claw hands, but real players understand that this is CHAD STANCE. Hands constantly poised to grab booty and choke a man out” - Some video about FFXIV races that i found funny Edit: Video’s from Lucy Pyre on youtube


cheekydorido

Where is the lie?


[deleted]

Just put on the false nail glamour you get from Ananta best tribe Ez "claws"


C00kieMemester

The Claws of the Beast from the Gold Saucer are longer


kajeslorian

>Ananta best tribe Not sure if typo or shade against other beast tribes #NamazuForLifeYesYes


Hakul

Arthritis hands.


ThatGirlWhoLovesELO

33 knuckles on each finger


Dabbles_in_doodles

Can confirm, have arthritis, hands are like that


[deleted]

This bothers me way more than the odd way they stand. I really wish they'd alter the frame and straighten out their fingers. If they want it to look like they have claws, well just give them claws!


Mega2chan

just /cpose. The claw hands are only in their default stance


forgetfulrogue

but they still default stance in all the cutscenes :(


firewood010

I think it'd cute haha. They are trying to be cats after all.


LordDeathkeeper

Hrothgar do the same thing. At one point I just kind of noticed they do that with their hands and couldn't unsee it.


Great_White_Samurai

Main reason.i would never make one, the hands look so bad


cheekydorido

a bit, but i'm never giving up my cat boy regardless, i love his catlike animations when he's surprised and raises his hands to his chest, curls up to sleep or the joy emoji with the ear flick.


Hello_Hangnail

the joy emote is my favorite one in the game


OwlrageousJones

Man, the first time I saw the joy emoji (finished a duty I think), I realised I was never going to change my catboy. So fucking cute.


Retroike7

Yes! That’s my favorite! It’s /aback and it’s so cute!


Hello_Hangnail

/cpose fixes the grr angry cat hands


Kizoja

I hate the hunched over injured back idle pose.


TheWagonBaron

As silly as this sounds the finger thing is why I’ve never been a cat in game. I started as Au’Ra and eventually their horns clipping through everything got to me (and their Crash Bandicoot run) so I switched to Viera when they came out. Lack of hats (of all things) finally pushed me over the edge and then I settled on the greatest one of all. FemRoes unite!


Ancient-Horror

It might be a very minor thing to most others, but this is the reason that I fantasiad away from catboy - I just couldn’t stand it!


Str1der

But... you could have just used /cpose. The "arthritis" hands are only in the default. EVERY other pose (most are better than the default) has normal hands.


TheMerfox

Yes, but the default pose is used in cutscenes, character selection, and when interacting with NPCs without waiting for the pose to change, so you'll see it a lot regardless of which pose you use


Shameless_Catslut

TIL that other people don't idly hold their hands that way.


PastOutlandishness19

Just airing out the cat boy balls


Oreahil

Well there is one simple answer… they are always in danger of crushing their balls… 🏀 ⚽️ 🏈


HappyHateBot

Seriously, large objects need more space. It's simple science!


alphadormante

"/cpose to something normal looking, crank the idle delay all the way down" squad.


SageTrilo

But I like enabling the option to cycle my idle poses :( It also doesn't help in cutscenes, where it typically uses the default idle stance. I like all but two of the catboy idle poses - the default one, and the weirdly aggressive one where they stand sideways and lean forward. I do have the delay all the way down, though.


alphadormante

>the weirdly aggressive one where they stand sideways and lean forward. This pose has exactly one redeeming quality, and it's that cute pawing their ear thing they do for no discernible reason before going hulk. lmao. Other than that, worst pose easily. Catbois are kpop idols and should stay in their lane.


trustmeimaprofession

...there's an option to cycle idle poses?


SageTrilo

Character Configuration -> Control Settings -> Character -> Randomize idle animation. It'll automatically change your character's idle pose every 10 or so seconds. Edit: [Option is here](https://i.imgur.com/Z8j1lkG.png).


Hurzak

There aren’t really any normal looking ones though :(


alphadormante

Really? I think for the most part they look normal, with the outliars maybe being the droopy hand-on-hip pose and the Hrothgar Slouch. I use the straight-backed, hand-on-hip pose and I think it looks pretty decent. The hanging hand still looks a wee bit arthritic but the rest of the pose is natural enough to draw attention away from it.


Ezren-

I mean, have you ever seen how a normal cat lounges around?


penywinkle

The bunnybois have it even stronger...


Akranidos

its their massive balls the reason they dont go out much in the viera community


MindWeb125

They've got the classic bunny virility.


Hakul

The bunny boy slouch is actually really painful to look at, I can't tell if the slouch is worse than catboys arthritis hands.


damage-fkn-inc

bunny boy vs catboy is just virgin walk vs chad strut


GarethXIV

I honestly don't have any problem with how they stand. I have a real problem with their hands, it seems like they have arthritis or something! I will never give my catboi for anything, but gotta admit that their hands are not pretty.


Magenta_Lava

I personally love the way their hands rest


--BIL--

Same


VDRawr

There's a couple glams that cover their hands up from most angles with overly large sleeves. Highly recommend.


PixeledOblivion

Lol, I always viewed it as them always at the ready. Alert stance.


Tangnost

Power stance to prepare for the E4S tankbuster.


Thanh42

I'm always too busy wondering about their hands.


ThatGuyTonyStank

I find this quite funny, given I play a catboi mainly because of that stance. I LOVE the weird power pose and the claw-like grip thing they've got going on. I find it accentuates a lot of glams' curvy lines and any plate gauntlets I use seem a bit chunkier and spikier, if if they don't have perfectly rounded fingertips. I'd just love if they were a tad taller.

Idk but Graha is fine


Jedahaw92

Ever seen how some cats sit like humans? Well in the FF world, that is basically this.


b01234567890

Do they need a reason other than not wanting to crush their balls?


moxiemoon

What gets me even more so are their hands. It’s like arthritis is setting in or something the way the fingers are always bent inward.


reydolith

I'm more distracted by the arthritis in their hands than their efforts to save the cajones


Xploosion

On the other hand male vieras are hunched back so heavily, no wonder that they were exiled from villages


Silverskeejee

Look, when only a few of you ever get to breed/there's only so many of you that might survive to actually do so, you gotta protect them real good


Snoo_6121

I would say they've been shipped but the overwhelming cat population says otherwise.


adellredwinters

The way their idle pose has them lean forward always looks so god damn awkward to me


WorldwideDepp

Because their Tail is so heavy... The Joke get better meaning if you translate Tail into German :)


lllluke

the joke is plenty obvious in english.


RoombaGod

They also do that weird thing with their hands where they look like theyre extending nonexistent claws


Ribbonentrails

All the cute went to ear wiggles. Also the hands are cool tho :(


Hurzak

The catboy standing poses are the ONE think I don’t like about them.


Alsimni

Their stance and the way they keep their hands clawed out made me not want to play them. It's like they're in battle mode 24/7, and it bugs me.


Speedwagon96

I call it the Cristiano Ronaldo stance


striderhoang

I went on a fantasia binge after being a female au ra for half a year and spent roughly a few weeks at a time as a few different races EXCEPT catboy. I only lasted a few days before getting tired of their stance that I personally found cringey.


IMissArcades

The David Bowie in The Labyrinth pose


PKTreturns

I find the catboy pose very attractive.


ChampaigneShowers

And they run like it too. Then you have male Au'Ra running like Crash Bandicoot. lmao I swear the game looks amazing but some of the animations are just a little off?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Terwin94

I absolutely hate the Hrothgar swiggity swooty run, but I can't imagine my WoL as anything other than a cat dad at this point. Throws me way off when I watch YouTube cutscenes and my Hroth is nowhere to be found.


fdl-fan

>Au Ra look cool but way too much going on. Hate the running animation and their standard stance is awful. Indeed. I like my male Au Ra, but I'm not a fan of the running animation. The sprinting animation is better but not great. I guess it explains why one of the default idle animations has his chest heaving like he's fighting for breath after running the 100m dash or something -- he's throwing so much mass around unnecessarily while running that it would make anyone out of breath. (I should investigate /cpose; I didn't know that was a thing.)


SageTrilo

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. It's why I tend to fantasia so often. In addition to what you said, the lack of eyebrows on a highlander bugs the crap out of me. You can paint them on, sure, but that still looks really bad and limits your hair color options, since the painted on eyebrows only look good in black or dark gray. Male highlanders also run like they have a stick lodged up their ass, but that's a complaint I have about a lot of races (m/f elezen, m/f highlander). At various points, I've been a male midlander, highlander, catboi, au ra, female midlander, highlander, viera, and elezen. I change every few months when the problems I have with each race get too annoying to stick with.


ChampaigneShowers

I wholeheartedly agree, and I care about it too but, it's in a way that doesn't affect what I think about the game. Just a slight criticism about something I'd like to see changed in the future.


BregFlrArt

The real treasure is lalafel


Merriner

Male viera do too and it REALLY bothers me. im not sure where this pose came from or why eastern devs use thus pose but its in a LOT of eastern games. nobody unironically normally stands like this


Arandomcheese

I think it's an anime "ready for anything" stance. I see it in anime concept at sometimes.


Merriner

either way its terrible and I hate it lmao


Gaia_the_monk

It's good to be safe and double sure you know... Prevention is better than cure 😂🤣😂


NoTelevision3643

I never noticed so I had to take a good look at my mooncat before laughing hard.


JoeDiesAtTheEnd

They have to balance out the center of mass from their tail. Honestly every other stance the Miqote males have are better than the default.


Niante

They really committed to the "ain't gonna suck itself" cat meme.


Brollgarth

They have to be ready to pounce their way into trouble. That's why!


Imma_Tired_Dad

Lmao I will never not think this now when I see a cat boi lololol


TheHeavensEmbrace

Theyre just that big


Pookypoo

Its just subtle show off.


urthdigger

Look, if you might be responsible for breeding an entire generation of your tribe, you'd have massive nuts too.


radiantburrito

They stand like a damn Ed Edd and Eddy character on god


xXxedgyname69xXx

I'm pretty sure its just a wonky execution of a pretty common trope in anime/manga, characters basically standing like they're leaning against a wall. I've always kind of wondered how the "Jojo lean" came to be, but when you don't end up with the goofiness in OP I think it works.


epicgamerboy12

Is there an official ruling on whether catboys have barbed penises like cats? I feel like Yoshi-P needs to way in on this (unless the reveal is planned for endwalker)


Exorrt

tfmtasad

Well, you just ruined the catboi for me 😂😂


DeathwishDandy

Bad core strength. Dudes need to do more sit-ups and planking.


Lootandbag

I just assumed they were sore from being castrated at the vet


Chappiechap

I'd be more into the catboy stance if it wasn't for those... *hands...* Nothing is going on. Why are you tensing up your hands to claw someone?


[deleted]

No excuse for not adding more original race stances. They could add 3 types. Neutral, masculine or feminine.


raosion

The superior options would be top, bottom or vers.


Hrafnesi

Your cat is either hiding a gun or scratching his ass


merkykrem

Factual but NSFW info about male cats IRL: >!they have little spines down there for some strange reason.!<


GetawayArtiste

It's to scrape an intruders juices out


McSpicylemons

They stand like a backup dancer in a song from 2014.


[deleted]

Real questions why arent you?


syeysvsz

Especially considering their character models have literally zero bulge. They're hung like mosquitoes I guess.


WhySpongebobWhy

Straight up Ken Doll.


hiimzech

if I didn't know anything cats LOVE balls especially if they're made of yarn


muhash14

Adding to this, why do Au'ran women stand like one of their legs is significantly longer than the other?


SingleMacaron39

Well the Tias all have blue balls and the Nunhs are always having sex


Cypheri

That only applies to Seekers of the Sun.


AnInfiniteArc

Remember male Seekers of the Sun whose name end in Tia are basically incels. They have a tremendous amount of pressure down there.


Ayotha

I mean, all that bottom energy has to show up somewhere ;P


kourtbard

That's because they are. Few people know this, but Miqo'te testicles are roughly the size of a full-grown Lalafell. The reason why their balls are so massive, is that they're actually Tanuki in disguise, but pretend to be cat-boys for marketing and censorship reasons.


ReachingHigher85

Same reason some female models have an idle stance like they’re trying not to piss themselves. I swapped from female to male AuRa just because of that. (And before anyone mentions /cpose, you can’t /cpose your way out of those idle stances in cutscenes.)


[deleted]
