Just no, that would be a good way to upset and dissapoint a lot of people asking for male viera, ask for a extreme slider instead, forced sexual dysmorphism is a bad idea, and even more so for a non original ffxiv race... don't destroy a classic with weird ideas...

Seconded. I don't want their max height restricted in any way below what the female max is. I would not mind if the height slider went a bit below the females' in min height but I don't care for their height being restricted simply for the sake of reverse gender dimorphism. Simply because the trait emerges in some rabbit/hare species, it does not follow that it would emerge in Viera.

And you deserve to be entitled if you pay a subscription.

Not arguing your opinion for an extreme slider, but literally every other race has the men with taller max heights and the women with shorter min heights (except maybe Lalafells). If that's not forced sexual dysmorphism, I don't know what is. Also, I think it's a bit of a stretch to say making the men shorter by as little as a head on minimum height is "destroying a classic", lol.

Female Viera being the Amazon that they are, the males can safely be shorter and still tower over most other races.
And iono, ever since I heard male bunnies are smaller than females I kind of want this to happen. Not Au Ra levels, absolutely not, but take the average height difference you see between genders in the game and just flip it around.

Agreed. I'm not particularly interested in the men being drastically shorter than the women. I'd prefer them to be of a similar height. They're not a particularly 'matriarchal' race to begin with as far as I see them - it just so happens that so far, we've only seen the women as they're the more civilised of the two genders. They live in villages whilst the men live as loners in the deeper reaches of the forest, completely unseen outside of occasionally showing up to mate with the women.

In the interest of equality, they should be of equal height.

Same height with a very wide range between min and max so everyone is free to do what they want

I'd like the male viera to be based on male au ra, but a little bit more hips and taller legs shorter torso and a bit less muscled. As for height, same as female

Oh and btw for the racial armor I want a loincloth uwu

Well unless that's the vison of the male viera the designers had, I don't like it, besides, I don't think the ffxiv dev team should cover a lack with a race from another core title, that would be a disservice for the Ivalice fans, unless it was the image the original dev team had with male viera, I would be ok with that, but would not play a male viera is they end being as short as a male miqo, the only thing I don't like about my mooncat.

In fact I would not leave the concept art in hands of the ffxiv team, the race belongs to the Ivalice teams.

Well, male miqo'tes aren't really short, though their height lower than average. But if male Viera will be same height as them they will look ridiculous in comparison with females, because they most likely will have height near to Roe's (same ridiculous as au ra do). -.-

Fran is taller than female Elezen, for comparison.

And Fran is a head shorter than male Au Ra, who are a bit shorter than roegadyn males. Although the ears extend a tiny bit higher than an Au Ra head. Would like them to not be taller than Au Ra atleast, we live in a world of giants, and I am one of them.

I'd agree with that. As I've stated before I hate to play tall characters. I'd prefer close to the min height of miqo males to close to viera female max.

Can only :eyeroll: on all these expectations. So many, though only 1 male race to make people happy. I really hope there will be alot of Hrothgar players, hope they were worth it.

At this point I just want them added. Gonna decide after if I'll really fantasia to one, depending how they will turn out.

I shared the slim viera picture on the japanese forum and they seemed to like it.
Some other person on there drew male viera with a figure skaters physique and did a height comparison to male miqo'te. I thought they did a good job.

The post I was referring to is near the bottom of page 20.

We need someone to post the more masculine artwork there, then to ensure that there's a fair balance.

There has already been a lot of masculine viera pictures posted here. I'd say we need more slim viera pictures now tbh

I just want more pics in general

I was referring to the Japanese thread. For the sake of fairness, it should be posted there as well to prevent one sided brigading.

Equilibrium must be restored... and only masculine bunny men will redress the balance.

(Done!)

Oh, that's what you meant. You can always go there and post it yourself if you want.

Thanks pal, i think it's important to support the japanese thread as well. We should support each other, especially because i think SE's first stop to collect data is from the japanese forum..
