[Critical] Male Viera height slider; tall option. Show your support.

The thing with arguing "average height" is that the taller end of that height range is occupied (and thus the average height pushed up) by races who do not have human proportions because being a human at that height and normal proportions looks strange.

I had the thought to browse through the Wikipedia list of tallest people and for the ones that had photos, they fall into two groups: people who are just proportionally big and really do look like they're at the wrong scale to the people next to them, and people who are built like Elezen with overlong spindly limbs and a normal-sized head. (Bonus outlier: nowhere near the tallest, but one guy genuinely built like a Roegadyn and about the max height for them too.)

Granted, all the record breakers on the list are well above even Roegadyn height but it's clear there's a point where humans stop looking like tall humans and start looking like something isn't quite right. I don't know where that point is, but you can't just make the character taller without consequence.

Humans are still the mental reference point for us. Highlanders are objectively tall by human standards even though they're short relative to the inhumanly tall races.
