Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Amnmaat]

Í can't believe people are holding so tight against the idea of male viera being possibly shorter than females cause otherwise what, their virility suffers? I'm seeing so much gender bullshit that I just hope they make them shorter so they disappoint it all.

Or, those of us who actually play male characters as our main want these options? It doesn't have to always go into this political basket about "norms."

same for me tbh xD they would just be too similar to miqo‘te personally. i‘d have a hard time choosing wether i want a limited race or stick with my miqo boi.
but quite some comparisons show them as the same height at least (maybe a few cm taller/smaller than f. viera). i‘d love them exactly the same size tbh, and it would make sense lorewise! i just won‘t personally like a too drastic of a difference, way smaller (au ra dimorphism) or way taller.

I don't know where you get this idea that female Viera are tall on the male height chart, they're barely taller than male Midlander.

I don't get it either. Having one race with females taller than males isn't a big deal. If we're talking about real life, men tend to be taller than women, yes. But this is a fantasy race in a fantasy game - it shouldn't be a shock if they develop differently than real humans.

Except that they used real life to determine male to female height with every race. So they are indeed using real life. Furthermore, the height debate isn't exactly about how they compare to female Viera, it's about what they bring to those who play male characters. With male Midlander and male Miqo'te having the same faces as male Viera what would that really bring to the game if they are virtually the same height? Female Viera isn't that tall when you put them on the male height chart, they're slightly taller than male Midlander.
