Their sprites in revenant wings are the same size as other viera, and smaller short races like the Moogles from Ivalice and Cait/Cu Sith have clearly smaller sprites.

Viera have never been tiny/short other than younger viera and even they are still taller than a shorter Hume like Vaan/Penelo.

I'm fine if they make another short race, but it reaaaaally bothers me that people are trying to pinhole viera into short.

They're not!!!

And honestly I think this is a little skewed too.

Male Au Ra, Femroe and Male Roe I'd consider the tallest of the tall, the rest I would consider average.

It's silly to say race diversity is on the line. More people will want to play average height characters than anything, and I imagine Fran will mark the taller side of Viera, my Femroe is still a full head taller than her.

Viera will probably range from Midlander to Elezen heights.

They mentioned there will be Dwarves in the 5.0 areas, I'm intrigued by how they're gonna do that cause I've always imagined Lala to be the dwarfs of Hydaelyn.
Thank you, glad to see i'm not the only one who feels this way.

If another small race is absolutely needed, might aswell go for a fantasy staple.
