Personally I think it'd be fine if male Viera were of equal or greater height to their female counterparts. After all, it's been a very common request over the years for an alternative option that is tall, classically handsome and conventionally attractive to be added for those of us who like to play as male characters.

I don't think it'd make much sense for both of what are likely to be the last races altogether or for quite some time to subscribe to niche aesthetics.

Though based on the investigations done in regards to their height with what we have so far, it seems like they're on the taller side of things. So I'm happy, personally - they're not as slim, feminine or androgynous as some of the suggestions were pushing for over the years.

They have a nice amount of muscle to them, so they're toned and athletic rather than skinny - and the proportions are an improved version of the Elezen model which is also what a lot of players were pushing for.
Female hrothgar could actually look taller than males too, if they aren't hunched. Like, even if they were the same height or slightly shorter than males, and I don't see any reason for SE to make the females hunched.

My only gripe with male viera now is that I wished they looked just a little older, like 5+ years or so, and I would have liked to see some options like stubble in their trailer. Maybe when the benchmark comes out. Perhaps they will have that more mature face option, one that wasn't revealed in the trailer. As it really looks like they only showed 3 face options.
