Viera males should be smaller like Au Ra females

[Lacan]

Is Alphinaud really that much shorter than a min. height Midlander/Miqote male though? I don't get why people are freaking out over people wanting to play as a character that size. He's literally 16 (maybe 17 now?) in the story. People can already easily make female characters that look 16, especially miqote and au ra females.

EDIT: And furthermore... we literally have a race of people designed to look like grade school children. It says so in the ARR artbook that that's what they were modelled after. So somehow we're able to get away with that... but young looking male characters would be going too far somehow? I really don't get it.
