Viera and Hrothgar Megathread

[Theodric]

You're just being really silly.

I disagree. I made a passing comment on the subject as it came to light.

I'll stick with Midlander and Raen/Xaela men and hope that we get more options for male characters in the future.

I mean, it's kind of petty to be disappointed over 2 inches. Same could be said about anyone else.

You're free to believe as such. I do not.

I like playing tall male characters so I was hoping they'd be taller. They're not, so I have little interest in them...which is a personal preference. Hardly anything to get worked up about, in my opinion.

They're only 2 inches shorter than the women and are still taller than midlander hyur and much taller than miqo'te so I'm not sure they're being pandered to who you think they're being pandered to.

Full height male viera will probably be taller than a minimum height female. We should know more in a couple days. I would think we'll get an official height comparison soon. I have my females at about 20 percent above short personally.

i promised myself that the last fantasia i bought was my last , so i am hoping i won't like any of the female newly added hairstyles (and from the pic they showed i think i won't ) , but i am surprised at how pretty the male viera hairstyles , much better than the female ones in my opinion that i wish we had them for female and maybe then i wouldn't have used a fantasia

[HeyMcFly]

Its confirmed!! Female Viera are getting more hairstyles!!

Y "This is a Viera and yes, we are adding a few more hairstyles as you can see"

Y "Sorry it took so long"

New hairstyle below and spoilered

That hairstyle doesn't look very 'viera' :/ which is incredibly disappointing for me

I'm really hoping Viera get some more unique hairstyles also, if anyone can confirm that they'll still have their own styles as well?

I think it's this hair, shown :/

[HollowedDoll]

max height is 186.5cm
which corresponds to female viera scale 61
still sucks that min male to max fem viera gets to have that 18cm diff
while max male viera to min fem is like what 7cm?
not much equality there.

[Hunky]

They're not as tall as I expected (or wanted) them to be, but they look great!

Can't wait to make one in the benchmark!

That hairstyle looks like the ponytail hairstyle from the gold saucer.

modern aesthetics confirmed?

Are you claiming that Square Enix are not gathering feedback primarily from the likes of Twitter and Reddit?

That's quite a decent amount shorter than females, I'm sure people who wanted to play shorter males would have just made them min height anyway, it's too bad that's max height. It definitely could have been a lot worse though.
