Female Viera got the short end of the stick, because their hairstyles are too 'nice' looking, rather than feral or long, like Fran's. Even the shorter ones, the xiv team had references from xii-like Mjrn's hair or Jote's and the concept art of Viera, but didn't use them. The xiv team didn't even bother to give viera the ears from xii-and should've, to save time into making the race look better than they currently do.
