This, so much this.. I know its not really feasible, but I think they should add a bit more height options to all the races. Let Au Ra and Miqo'te females be taller if they choose, let female Viera go shorter than they do now. Let Elezen, Roe and Hyur have more leeway to taller and shorter for both sexes. Let Au Ra Males be shorter than they currently can be, let Miqo'te males be taller! Lala.. well they're pretty much perfect as they are and I'm not even a Lala.

i don't think getting another media tour thanks to covid
but im sure they will do a special stream about it for all new job actions
i also can't wait for bench mark

Can we have some variety? One of the only major families of animals on planet Earth that has smaller females than males on average are primates, and fantasy races really don’t need to conform to our average monkey proportions any more than they do. Rabbit women being violent, towering, amazons with giant claws is already random and creative, so why not make the males small, cute, yet have equal vicious potential to play off the humor of the race based off of bunnies being shockingly combative?

They confirmed the media tour for september-october! I checked now, and the benchmark came 1 month before shadowbringers released, so it'll be around that time!

Yes we can, they've done so before, try creating a female Roegadyn and you will see that you can be as short as a female Highlander or as tall as male Roegadyn.

Just like we shouldn't let Viera lore prevent the males from being playable we shouldn't allow real life affect a human race with rabbit ears. Viera isn't a beastial race like Hrothgar are. That's why they added Hrothgar so that they could follow animal proportions, faces, genetic al traits like manes and hunched back. Human races with animal ears don't need to adhere to this; they can/should reflect the variety that exists in humans, at least to a reasonable level.

Female Roegadyn doesn't break the she-giant aesthetic because you can make them shorter than female Elezen and female Viera.

What planet are you from where most mammal males aren’t bigger than the females?

Eh I like the idea of them being smaller, scrappy versions of the females. You don’t see them because they are so small and that’s why we have not come across one. Pretty easy lore reason for it, even if it is a bit weak.

I'm fine with them being "tall" but I do not think they should be taller than the females. Viera felt special due to their crazy height. I do not think that should be stolen from them just because they are releasing the male gender.

We already have enough of that with Au Ra being *ridiculously* taller than the females. Asian culture is already replete with odd gender conformities - can we skip it just *once*?

Let the females be the dominant gender for Viera.

I think you may have misread. They're saying out of the major animal families on Earth, primates are one of the few that have larger males than females. In many cases it's the other way around. Especially in the insect world.
