Highest height i could make him, at least at the time i created him, which was back when ARR first launched.

What I had read, Viera are expected to be near if no taller then Elezan who are just shy of Roe while Hrothgar are expected to be taller then Roes. Hrothgar are expected to be the tallest race but won't show well because of their hunched backs.

I fear we cannot really base Viera height off Fran though.

Fran has a demihuman model iirc, and if they tried to set it close to what Viera height will be, is it max, min, mid or what?

They aren't giantess but I'd expect a female Highander-Elezen average height.

Ahh not too bad I suppose.

If Fran is the tallest Viera could get or is mid height then the shortest Viera is probably around Female Midlander Highest height....which is ok to me I suppose.

Uh...nah, I’m good. It seems like Viera’s are too tall for my liking if his male midlander is on the highest height setting. For all we know, Fran is on middle height settings. What a shame. Was hoping we would get another short girl race, like Midlanders or AuRas. (Lalafells are TOO short, lol.)

Female midlanders lowest height is around 5’0 - 5’1 I believe. I’m sorry, I was never one to find tallness to be very feminine on female characters in general. If Midlanders were too tall, I wouldn’t be one, period. If Vieras are around 5’5, that’ll be okay, but the closer to 5’1 the better. So I’ll probably stay a midlander girl. :)

This should help with some sort of height comparison.

In what world would people think anything other than Feol viera would be super short? They were all fairly tall back in XII, around Elezen height at least if not a bit more. Given the viera are only split into Rava and Veena, it's expected for them to also be tall.

Our chance for smaller bunny people was gone the moment the clans were just made palette swaps of each other like Miqo'te and Au Ra are.

I imagine quite many people believing that Feol are shorter based on this image.

Interesting how a thread about whether or not Viera height would be measured from the top of the head or top of the ears became about how tall they will be.

I'm guessing Viera will be about as tall or maybe slightly sorter than Elezen, but their ears will make them look taller.

For some reason I had this idea that lore characters in game were frequently taller than what is possible to achieve for player characters... but I might be confusing it with another game.
