Gender height difference is a thing in real life just as much as it is in game. You have short guys, then you have really tall guys. You have really short girls then you have tall girls. If they changed it, it would throw racial height difference completely out of wack. And racial height difference is there for a reason.

A Roe shouldn't be as short as a Lala. They can play a Lala if they want to be that short. Don't want to be tall? Play a Hyur or Miqote. Don't want to be short? Stay away from Lala.

Protip: Max your female characters height. Boom you'll be taller than 90% of others that are the same race/gender as you because just about everyone thinks having a short female character is cuter. Same goes for Males with being tall. Go short and you'll be different.

You might need some glasses.

I think you miss something.
The subject is not about a Lala as tall as a Roe (or vice versa)
The subject is about the tallest Female Au'Ra being way shorter than the shortest Male Au'Ra.

Edit : This post is about the miss interpretation of the answer on first page.
I personnaly could care less about the size of Au'Ri, i'm a proud Elezen ^^ (and Au'Ra stole my name, I hate them ;p)
If lore says that Male Au'Ra is always way bigger than the female counter part, then Ok for me, I still don't care...

Smaller means cuter.

I am unable to endorse this suggestion.

I saw what I thought was an au ra lady as tall as I was and my first reaction was like, "wow she looks so cool!" ...and then I saw that she was standing on a table and I let out a sad sigh.

Not every woman wants to be cute. Some women prefer to be badass.

You can. Female roe or that hyur subspecies which looks like a roe are quite badass.

But mostly, people prefer cute females. Especially since the majority of female chars are played by males anyway.

I'm fine with it if they want to enforce some physiological differences between the races and sexes. I just hope the next time they introduce a race, they take the opportunity to make the female half something besides waifu bait. What I would have liked to see with the Au Ra is one clan being pretty much the way they are now, and the other clan flip flopping the differences with the boys being the squirts and the girls being big. That was a good opportunity to make a distinct difference between clans and they just phoned it in like they did with most of the other racial clans. The Hyur dichotomy between Highlanders and Midlanders is really good, so where was that effort for the other five?

Look...it's Japan. Waifus make more money than non-waifus. Until proven otherwise waifus are here to stay, be them catgirls or dragongirls.

And indeed those two are the only races I've considered playing the female of. But because "most people" prefer cute female characters the options for non-cute should not be expanded? It's not exactly taking away your ability to make your female midlanders, Miqo'tes, Miqo'tes-with-scales, Lalas etc short and cute if that's what you want.

The proportions will probably start to look off in the case of male vs female Au Ra if they were given the same height range. (Since height just adjusts the character size, but not proportions)

It probably wouldn't matter for most other races though, since the gender height gap is smaller.
