Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Hunky]

I just want to add and height comparison of my own, since I'm as curios and excited as everyone, my current character is a max height elezen, compared to unknown male viera.

I matched the angle and zoom the best I could, positioned my elezen's feet where the viera's feet were positioned in the scene before, I also tried to match with a similar idle pose.

2 details to keep in mind, the viera is slightly hunched in this picture, this is the frame before he statrs walking and the only one where his back is more or less straight, while my elezen's back is completely straight. In the video the viera is shown without any clipping, but the plank where he stands clips with the character in game, I don't know if it's still not clipping after he stands, in case he were not clipping it would make my elezen look about 1cm shorter.

This is the best comparison of that scene I've seen yet, the image ratios and in game scale look similar. In other comparisons you can see parts of the background that don't match up like the window being longer. This is good, the problem is that there's no way of knowing what height slider the male Viera is using there.

Agreed! This seems to be much more accurate than the one with the female Viera, despite the male Viera still being hunched over.



The height difference between a max height male Elezen and a max height female Viera is much bigger than what is implied in this picture. It seems to me that the screenshot of the female Viera was not taken at the same angle/distance as the scene in the trailer, and that's why the female looks so large.

I'm going to assume that the male Viera in the trailer are average height. Most NPCS in the game are average height, so it seems safe to assume the male Viera are as well. I don't think they would showcase shorter-than-average or taller-than-average male Viera in their debut.

Looking at this comparison, it seems that a max height male Viera would still be shorter than a max height male Elezen. This is totally normal and expected though, since female Viera at max height are still shorter than female Elezen at max height.

Elezen are the naturally taller race of the two. However, that being said, a max height male Viera would be close to a max height male Elezen (about 2 inches shorter or so).

Yes, knowing all that, and working on lining the image up a bit, I get this...

Thanks for making this!

Hrothgar are also a naturally taller race than Viera. If a max male Viera is 2 or so inches shorter than a max male Elezen, and a max male Elezen is about 1 inch shorter than a max male Hrothgar, that means the difference between max male Viera and max male Hrothgar would be about 3 or so inches, and I can see how that would be possible in this picture, whether that Hrothgar is average or maximum height. Even if that Hrothgar is max height and the Viera is average, the Hrothgar's leaning-back pose would make him look shorter than in actuality.
