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

[SturmChurro]

I think super models are usually ugly. Especially those who show clothing. Giraffes with bones showing. Yak

The best models were from the 80's, and they were tall!

Somehow some of the most beautiful women in the world aren't feminine! It's actually crazy how many people here took up the defense of this! Rightfully so!

Many models are somewhat anorexic which has nothing to do with being tall. Super skinny isn't sexy in my opinion and sorry but relatively tall women are more beautiful then short. I have nothing against short women but they are not the epitome of beauty by a long shot for me at least. All my avatars are tall including my Au ra's although at the moment until I can get a comparison of female Viera to other avatar heights I am very tentative with the height slider. I don't want my Viera to be as tall as Fran.

Maybe I'm alone here, but I thought we'd be getting the option to make both new races shorter.

Quit complaining. please. I cant be the only one thats sick and tired of seeing someone nitpick and whine and whinge and mope and cry about every single thing that's coming up If you dont like it just dont play it. But geeze at least have the realisation that youre not going to get everything you want ,nobody ever will youre not alone in that whole not always getting what you want thing.

It's standard fare for this forum. There is an all about me mind set that is so apparent with many of the threads and posts here complaining about this or that. Given the time and effort put into these races and the fact that they aren't even completely ready for prime time we'll get those who expect and ask the devs to add more to their workload to meet this or that demand.

I'm ecstatic we are getting new genders/races. One of my biggest disappointments for Stormblood was the fact we didn't get any.

No! Make them taller. I want to stomp all over the city like Godzilla in my fabulous new heels. ♥

It's kind of astonishing to me how many people think Viera need to be shorter and equating shortness with femininity. They're clearly supposed to be based more off of a "model" type figure, and presented as more mature and elegant than the shorter races. Tall isn't ugly, nor is it inherently masculine. Going in, I thought the range would be shorter, but I'm HAPPY they're on the taller side. I was going to make my bunny 5'10" - 5'11" anyways, and that's even on the shorter side for what we got.

Coming from a short woman, I wish we could quit with the whole "short girls are more feminine" or whatever. It's weird.

I'm glad they aren't. I've been waiting for a race that's 5'10 with a heart-shaped face for the longest time!

fair enough. i like my women tall though haha

Not sure what the hell this issue is now (anyone here starting to see political responses become frequent in threads that regard the base identity thing).

The OP simply asked for being able to make the races shorter. And some other opinions (most notably Craft0s), said they viewed shorter women as more feminine. Look here folks, thats an opinion. Anyone stomping their feet acting like this is some sexist thing that needs to be addressed or quashed is being silly. They had an opinion what they view as feminine. You can disagree with that opinion. That's fine. Trying to 'correct' their opinion with your opinion and then getting into socio-political garbage is not necessary. Like for reals, what do you hope to do by fighting this battle? Stamp out someone's opinion you dont agree with and make yours the 'morally correct' one? Gee, Ive never seen that turn into a crap show. And what is it to anyone if some people would like their Viera shorter? Is that affecting you any? No. If they lengthen the slider to allow an even broader range, who cares.

Christ, I know Im a kettle, but I swear it feels like these threads that start to get overtly political and mudslinging and aspersions start becoming the norm is becoming more frequent. Look, if you dont like someone's subjective opinion on beauty standards, just be cool about it and be like "Yeah, well I prefer this instead." And let it be that. This nonsense is getting overtly stupid pretty quickly in threads like this. Wish people would take a step back here and let it be, but I dunno. Got 'fight them battles' no matter what, it seems, even if the victories are hollow and pyrrhic in the end.

Half-Viera were supposedly shorter. You first saw those in the tactics advance games I believe.
