They're not even all that tall in FFXII which is where ppl get this from. Fran who is personally very tall is still only about as tall as some male human characters while she wears stilettos.

Take away the high heels and a tall viera is still only about as tall as a hyur female. That said not all viera are as tall as Fran either in that game. The original tactics art shows them looking more petite with heels, and more animal/moogle instead of amazons. The concept art is closer to the original style.

Having high heels as a separate size altering gear option would be nice tho.

It would be better to just split their 2 subraces up with one as small and cute and the other tall and bulky so that everyone is happy.

Also you know any race is going to be another humanoid, they're all similar. Roes are just big green/gray hyurs, elves are just tall long necked hyurs with pointy ears, miquote and au ra are just hyurs with fur/scales/tail. That's just a digressive argument.
