SE, Please give us the option to make Hrothgar and Viera shorter

[Anzaman]

Aren't Elezen taller?

Slightly. Viera is 178.8 to 191.4 cm, whilst Elezen is 183.5 to 198.4 cm.

Tho, I doubt anybody would have died had they simply been more generous and made slider differences slightly larger. Those who wanted shorter Viera could have done so, and those wanting tall could have done so, win-win.

Seriously just... wondering how this is even a thing... Where people are acting like the Viera *tall Amazonian tribal bunny girls* being tall is some kind of unexpected curve ball...

They aren't they even as tall as I had actually expected them to be and yet... "can we make them the same size as a miqo'te?" ....no? Play a miqo'te.

And you realize more than half the population of females are not super model material, right? To begin with, females being that tall isn’t common. 5’10 is literally average height for a U.S male. Just not very feminine unfortunately.

My mom's pretty tall. My aunt's pretty tall. I have a couple of female friends that are well over 5'10. According to you they aren't "feminine". And since you're directly stating this towards all tall women, that means you're directly insulting my friends and family.

There's something that you need to learn, and learn quick because I've seen you post this same crap in another thread but I forced myself to ignore it. "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." Now this doesn't pertain to every situation, but in this one? Yes. yes it does. Because now you're just unabashedly attacking tall women with your unneeded opinion. Don't like them? Stick to Hyur or Lala or Miqo'te or Au ra. You have MANY choices to choose from. Let those of us who do not share your narrow mindedness enjoy our tall women in peace.

Thank you for saying this. I'm 5'11 and female - this honestly made me scowl a little at the thought of it being unfeminine. Also the fact there's plenty of tall women in the north - I have no idea why the American male average height was brought into this. I know plenty of tall women.

So, you know. I'd rather they look like the Amazonian type women they've been portrayed as since the start. Elegant, beautiful and tall.

I wouldn't complain in the minimum height was a little smaller, however, but I still like them to be 'tall'. ¬_¬ unfeminine comment just made me have to say something.

I'm 5'9 so by that guy's definition I *just* make the cut for being feminine. Thank god that I fit his definition of what qualifies, because otherwise my life would be over.

Sometimes I can't even believe these guys are real.

I wish there was more customization as well but gosh it's not the end of the world if sometimes women are taller than men.

I thought this was a fantasy world, why does it have to follow human standards?

It only does when we're talking about issues regarding gender, it seems. There are zero complaints or issues about riding wild birds, casting magic spells, wielding weapons that no human could possibly lift, much less brandish with the one-handed ease depicted in these cutscenes, creating avatars of completely made-up races, teleporting in and out of thin air, dropping from extreme heights, fighting dragons and riding on their backs, taking on and vanquishing god-like avatars...

But start a conversation about women being taller than men, men getting to wear outfits 'intended' for female characters, or characters of the same gender getting to participate in bonding ceremonies and suddenly it's all -

END OF THE WORLD WE DONT HAVE IT IN REAL LIFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!111!!1!!!!!!!!!!111!1111111

It's really exhausting.

To be fair, people were on board with Viera being playable. Not necessarily as tall as a man, lol.

As a tiny lady IRL, I'm getting a strangely warped perception from this remark, but I can't really pin down why it's warped. I dunno, this idea that women are somehow less feminine than others if they're taller kinda bugs me. Why...that's almost like insisting you're less of a man if you're shorter, but I guess we can't get into that.

Was hoping for like 210 cm tbh but I like tall chicks. Still salty about au ra being so tiny even at max height so I'm pretty glad Viera stayed on the taller side.

[RiddleyKipps]

Did I miss something? I thought people were excited about tall beautiful women. There are a lot of options to be a tiny "feminine" woman already.

I know your pain. Viera’s shortest height is 5’10 which isn’t very feminine in my opinion for a female. Just have to suck it up. You know darn well SE won’t do this, they ignore 80% - 90% of requests, so don’t expect it. Pick a race you like, and fits your needs.

I like short feminine characters, so I’m a Midlander girl on lowest height.

Actually the Veena Viera can be 5' 8. I made one last night in the benchmark

I'm bad at math. You're 100% correct about it being 5'10
