    Yeah no that height range is almost as ridiculous as the au ra height discrepancy between m/f.
    A full foot of height difference between the tallest male and tallest female? that is a MASSIVE no thank you from me, unless the females have their height ranges expanded too.
    And once again adding yet another super tall male race (whose ears would cast shadows on the tallest roegadyn in your picture!!) pushes the selection of male racial choices to the gotta-be-tall options, where the shorter than hyur options are severely lacking.

    And by your comments again, I am convinced you would be much happier pushing for improvements to Au Ra customizations than you would be by pushing for a race you don't think is big and rugged enough for you

    In that new chart there's no situation where female Viera has the Au ra dimorphism


    As for the "casts shadows on male Roegadyn," female Viera casts shadows on female Roegadyn, not much difference; ears are not part of the height slider measurement within the character creation. Furthermore, the tall side is the one that's suffering as its options are only world of warcraft type races; even Elezen fall into that (there's a tall elf race in world of warcraft, very lanky and weird proportions).

    Uh, yeah no I said "almost" not "exactly", try not to get hung up on words that aren't there, and yes a full foot (or more) is just the same genre of ridiculous that the Au Ra have with their dimorphism. Sure it's not AS extreme, but it is still extreme. AND they would be the second other race that can't be shorter than the females at any setting of the two. (seriously wanting a gigantic slider for your claimed reason of "more options" yet every one those options on that massive slider are all "BIG TALL MAN" lmao)

    And no, female viera ears are barely as high as the tallest femroe, where as yours have them about a half-head higher than the tallest roe.

    And no the "tall men spectrum" is not lacking in options, they're just options that you don't think are perfect enough.

    Tall options: Roegadyn, Au Ra, Hrothgar, Elezen, Highlander.
    Short options: Midlander, Miqo'te
    Popoto: Lalafell.

    The two hyur clans should set the middle point for the racial scale spectrum (as humans are typically portrayed as the average options of different extremes and tropes) but right now they're pushed way farther to one side because of the abundance of so many different options of tall male characters.

    Why do you list hrothgar as a human option and list lalafel as popoto?

    On the tall side the options are extremely stereotyped (you hate the idea of female Viera being stereotyped as shorter than the males) yet you like the idea of tall males being stereotyped as orc, lizard with scales/horns, animal, and lanky/giraffe elf? That's a double standard.

    As for Highlander, many here pointed out the fact that Highlander is the average height, not midlander, mindlander is in fact a short option in FFXIV. I don't know why you keep bringing up real life as if people like Au ra, Lalafel, or hrothgar exist in real life.
