Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Renik]

Then run elezen. Why must the bunny also be 7 foot 5 lol

personally i don‘t like their design, but it could be just me. they have different issues why they are rather rare in my book. (elongated neck, weird stiff animations, weird proportions)

Basically that, I'm struggling to not pop a fantasia and go back to aura, they are not free of problems either... But I just want to play viera, and by viera I mean tall rabbit men with an amazing lore I'm very fan of (for me same size of females is already tall enough), I already dislike how they didn't consider Matsuno's opinion when creating them, taking some feedback from the community to create a midget bunny boy or male miqo 2.0 would definitely ruin the race for many people that want what viera is supposed to be, and add nothing new.

Anyway, they are what they are, you can see them however you want, twinks, teens, bishounen or whatever, that's not gonna change what is already done, for me, they look more or less how they should, and I'm pretty sure I can make one of my liking with the options we have seen so far... some facial hair would be nice tho.

Just hope and pray the hairstyles and hats work on day 1 which I fully expect them not to.

Male Midlander isn't the average height, they're short in the male height spectrum; and that's more or less the same height female Viera has. When people bring up female Viera I don't understand why they do so. A tall female will always be short when compared to males, except female Roegadyn (but their slider allows them to be).

Male Viera should be compared to their male counterparts, they should be approaching male Elezen height. Yoship described them to be Elezen with Miqo'te face, so they should hold true to that. This was the same scenario with female Viera, female Elezen but proportioned bodies.

People already have male Miqo'te to get their male teenager fascination over.

Female viera are 6'3 max, that's already aproaching Elezen height (even if it's just the minimum). That's why ppl keep talking about that. It's good for ppl who don't like to be too tall but not extremely small either. That's why i say it can be the minimum.
If it's something taller, i imagine something closer to female elezen height. In between male highlander and male elezen, just like you said.
Getting past Elezen is meh, because male viera looks too good. Take the height advantage off Elezen and you loose a good reason to choose them.
Even not giving facial hair/scars to male viera makes sense, even if i don't like it, because of how bad Elezen look.

Wait are we talking in terms of the game? Or IRL that is what is confusing me since people have mentioned more realistic portions which mindlander would fill that mark because by most people's standards 6 foot is on the tall side or short by any spectrum unless we are compare them to other races in the game. Then if that is the case why are people bringing up real world portions.

He's so obsessed with irl height that he sounds like a short king that measures his own height down to the mm.

Eh. give or take. Some people are ride or die elves, and the allure of Ishgard is strong.

[Truen]

Looks kind of dumb though.

[Tlamila]

Male Midlander are about 6 f which the converter tells me is 182.88 cm. That's a very tall man irl. If that's short, again where do some people live that men are all over 2 meters? Some other planet or?

In the FFXIV male spectrum male Midlander are very short; people bring up real life when it's convenient, but the moment real life brings up something like race, gender orientation, or something they don't like all of a sudden "fantasy fantasy!!!"
