Just wondering y was 2 new tall races choicen?

So from what i saw the two were choice for more bulkly,beast type....

I get y they are beastal but did both choices literally have to be tall height choices for the last races to be added?

If you want a shorter character you literally just have lala or au-ra female as an option

when all others are tall.. short-Species are very lacking option wise in overall options.
thats the biggest thing i don't get Y choice more tall-species for the ending of races to be added

Miqo'te are also tiny, but that entire race caps out at like 5'3 I think even for the men. Then there's also Hyur which even for Highlanders are pretty much mid-range in terms of height compared to everyone else. Also I don't think we actually saw how tall the Hrothgar are? They look more bulky than tall in their trailer and we don't have much in the way to accurately compare their height to. Sure they aren't itty bitty, but I would be surprised if they're Roe height.

As for why Viera and Hrothgar? Bestial races and Viera have been the top two requested races for years now, and the 'small' variant of the Viera that was put out in concept back in Heavensward didn't seem to be that popular.

I don't think height was a factor at all in the decision. As it stands, Hrothgar and Viera are two very different types of race.

I keep hoping they will add Burmecians and make both the male and females Fem Au Ra sized, or the moogles from FF12. Granted I think small races like Lalafells look really silly as anything other than mages but. Meh. I still would like them.

If I recall, it was mentioned both Hrothgar and Viera (probably because ears) are taller than Roes. By how much though, is left to be seen.

I was hoping that hrothgar would be average height and their only outstanding feature, besides being lions, would their bulk. I prefer playing average to short races. Guess I'll just scale all the way down.

I'd love a race that is between Lalafell and Miqo'te height. Padjal would fit, but for lore reasons we will never get them. I dunno, maybe Gria, but that's another gender locked race.

If SE announced playable Burmecians today, I could die happy tomorrow.

And then of course I would come back from the grave so I could actually play one.

I would honestly LOVE a moogle from FF12 race. They are soooo cute!

Also, +1 on the Bumercians, would've been great.

I think we have plenty of "short" races. You have the potato's, the fem Au Ra's, and the Miqo's. Then you have the "mid" races, the hoomans. Last the "tall" races Elves, Male Au ra, and Roe's. If anything we need 2 more "mid" races, not more "short" ones.

PS: Height is all relative to the player. Some people might consider my short to be mid, or my mid to be short, etc ....

Yeah, I consider Miqote and fem Au Ra to be mid height. I am playing small races for the last 10 years now and there is no way I would ever consider Miqote and Au Ra to be small.

Lalas are the only small race.

Short: Lalafell

Mid: Miqote, fem Au Ra, Midlander

Tall: Highlander, male Au Ra, Roegadyn, Elezen, Viera, Hrothgar

I'd consider them average height generally, but they're still small enough that they can't see over the Regalia's dash even at max height.

NAMAZU FOR NEXT PLAYABLE RACE!!!!

I look at the lowest the height can go Cats are taller than demon,snake girls are bare minimum thats just a fact with the scale numbers
next snake girls can go low but even at the lowest you still get large mounts, which makes it still average height sadly

2hich makes the two extra large races au-ra male and roe

the others human,elfs, au ra female, cats all average height

and lalas as the short species
thats just fact with scales and mounts

I will accept this only if there is NO option for turning off their squishy footstep sound.

Because bigger is better.

I'm a little irked by this, myself. Highlanders are supposed to be tall, but they keep adding new races that are taller. Now Highlanders will actually be on the short side of the spectrum.

"Oh, you're only six feet tall, huh? Yeah, that's nothing." It's like being on Tinder.

This isnt that far off from real life... there arent that many short-statured people by comparison in real life. Nor are there tons of super buff bulked up folks either. Most of the cultures are a decent mix of inbetween, so why is this so hard to take from a game stand point?
Techinically aura females are small. Maybe 5feet on a good day. I dont recall, I havent checked the math but by comparison they are small. Lalafell/Dwarves are a good analog for dwarfism in real life.

I think Miqo'te are pretty short, especially since i made my character quite short on the height scale.
