It doesn't matter how Yoshi P describes them lol. The adjectives he used are very broad, specially considering the lost in translation problems between Japanese and English. We already know when he said Male Hrothgar would have a wolf head that was lost in translation.

Sephiroth and this are very different. Sephiroth is just an Elezen with a shorter neck.


As for Viera and Elezen, no, they're ultimately different.

Eleze
-Broad shoulders
-Long skeleton. Not just their height, but their body proportions are enlogated. This doesn't happen with Viera.
-Tiny head
-Long neck
-Long skinny legs

Viera is the opposite of all that; meaty legs, normal skeleton/proportions while still being tall, regular sized head, and definitely doesn't carry that northern face. What do I mean by norther face? This


That's the exact kind of face Sephiroth and by extension male Elezen carry. That's not in any way comparable to the more exotic jungle look Viera carry.
My point is, you guys just want Viera to be Eleze 2.0: Elezen done right

They didn't do that with female Viera and they shouldn't do it for male Viera.
