Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

At the very least you guys have options so to speak, due to outside factors those that prefer smaller races probably will never get another one added, not even in the form of a height slider. The little race is truly disenfranchised. Feels bad.

I'm not sure why anyone would want another small race. Lalafell are already too much as it is.

Just to be fair: there is a huge height gap (60cm for males and 50cm for females, to be precise) between Lalafells and Miqo'te/fem!Au Ra, that isn't covered by any other race at all. Yet we have 5 (out of 8) male options that are purely 180+ at their minimum, and 4 (out 8) female options that are purely 170+ at their minimum. Doesn't mean we need a separate race for this gap, but having more wide height slider for existing races would be nice honestly.

Not sure why anyone would want the option to make little people either. Unless there was a new race where being a little person was in mind. Miqo'te can already become pretty short, and midlander covers pretty much all average adult males. It would be like halflings in Neverwinter Nights 2, they just look like weird small humans.

Actually, you know what on second thought that would be hilarious. I take that back, let them be little people, regular human proportions (not a western dwarf, or gnome with proportions that match their height) BUT they need to have man faces. I'm talking like middle aged man faces, with strong chins - but they are 4'5. Think of a character straight out of Kenshi - I want that.

Because not everyone are into playing tall characters? And also not everyone want to play let's say male Miqo'te for the sake of being able to create male character that is shorter than 168 cm (they are the only male option that covers 159 - 168 range)?

Being able to make existing races shorter will be already enough for that scenario, in fact.

I feel that, I still don't know who to this day would ever want to play a male character with a tail, or God forbid... cat ears..

No, no... a lot of the faces look too feminine or young. It wouldn't work AT ALL. Keep the old man faces sure, but I'm talking MANLY, gruff, faces with really strong chins. Facial hair included. 4'5. They need to look like serious men's men despite the height.

Well... I do. I guess it's kind of noticeable based on my userpic.


...Highlanders?

Oddly enough my friends ask me that same question since I always play the smaller race, but I think it has to do with the fact I am on the tall side IRL ever since I was a kid. I enjoy smaller races I have switched to others but they do not feel right. I mean a mini lion boi or bunny especially if they were brolic af would be interesting. Or a mini fat cat I could get behind that.

Highlanders maybe. Personally I don't like them because they look like cavemen. Okay, I had to go in-game to capture these example screens, something like this. I'm talking a bona fide manlet. That would look great in this game.

I can see that, if you are trying to make a goof character. They need to be far from human to not be weird, I think.

Okay, based on these screenshots they are actually more of an FF14 Elezen type by face. At least there are 2 face options that are somewhat similar. Plus maybe Miqo'te "old" looking face.
