    i think yoshi-p already stated they would be better off introducing a new race altogether than allow old races to tweak their bodyparts - since the same process of adjusting gear and what not would be the same as in just introducing a new race altogether.

    Is your uniqueness argument that sincere?

    Instead of hard-locking them to only mirror male Miqo'te why not allow the other side to also allow them to mirror a male Elezen in terms of height? There's nothing unique about making them short, male Miqo'te smiles and says hi to you.
    I think we have a disagreement of where the uniqueness originates. You seem to be looking at the character models in a vacuum and comparing them without context to the greater design philosophies.
    I think my ranges would make the race's design to be unique compared to the other races' designs. The relationship between the males and females, the clans, and the individuals of their respective demographics, vs the same process with every other race, and then taking into consideration the niches that currently exist and seeing where things need to be filled out or polished. Having a race as a whole, have an inverted dimorphism compared to the rest of the established races would make them unique as it would give their culture the option to explore a dynamic we currently haven't seen in game.

    And uh, making them mirror elezen wouldn't be unique by your standards either? (Also at my settings they would be taller than male miqo'te with a range of like ~5'9"-6'2" vs male miqo'te being 5'2"-5'8")

    Yeah, but like, I have faith in the dev team to be able to overcome that hurdle lol. Yoshi P has said a lot of things were too hard or impossible when the dev team have turned around and gone "lol nah, here it is" The dude likes to temper expectations which is understandable. But I like to have faith and will understand if something isn't perfect or doesn't work out.
    And seeing as they're not adding any more races to the game, this is a perfect time to start exploring the possibility of that feature (well after female hrothgar that is)
    ESPECIALLY with the excitement of fat miqo'te that happened. (and yoshiP noticing that people were interested)
