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

I say this as a tall guy IRL I get it is fun to shit on people who are 6'0 or 6'1 as short when you are taller but let us be real by no stretch is that short.

you mean that one beasttribe? /s

[Awha]

They they are extremely tall and not bulky or hourglass figure.

I'm not saying that male viera being 7'5 is the best idea (i'm not for it) but i understand why ppl ask for it.
Some ppl want to be tall but when they look at the tall races, it doesn't look great. And i find it funny when many player agree with that. Elezen have a long body, long neck, small head... It's not for everyone lol
At least midlander, miqote or highlander have normal proportions on the smaller side. Meanwile on the tall side you have hourglass dragon dude and slow ass hulk.
Male viera with at least a size similar to females will add something different. Making them smaller than that will just create a new miqote. They look too mutch alike already imo.
And yes 6'0 is not short, but we have many races taller than that, ppl forget that theese races are almost not played xD even as a min female viera you start to feel tall sometimes imo.

Midlanders max height is what 6 foot? How is that seen as short, or is it because they are shorter then females that is the issue.

At this point I'm imagining that the whole male playerbase is made by 2meters tall basketball players. I see no other explaination.

Nah, they just wanna be really tall. Others wanna be smol (weirdly this one is okay?). Some prefer mid. Same shit different color.

[HollowedDoll]

It's weird that some people think they didn't develop from 13 to 20 something at all..

The thing is, add more characters of different heights and that balance shifts. The way to get the humans back to looking like the average height they are is to add more average-height characters.

The three really tall races all have a gimmick of being that size. Elezen are meant to be tall compared to humans. Roes are meant to be huge compared to everyone. Au Ra have the massive dimorphism of tall men and tiny women.

Putting more races up that end of the scale undermines the point of them being there in the first place. "If everyone is special then nobody is."

I think it's why Hrothgar didn't end up being as big as people expected either.

In any case, I still consider Midlanders to be "the average" and the races above them range from "tall" to "really tall".

[Yencat]

Considering they originally said they'd be something like an Elezen body mixed with Miqo'te facial features and more recently said they made sure to not make them too similar to male Miqo'te I'd be very surprised if they were so short to the point people would consider them to be "smol".

I don't think they care as much about doing something radically different with regards to height as some players seem to, especially if it mostly just seems to boil down to "it'd be super interesting because we don't have that in the game yet'.

But anything is possible I suppose.

[LisSquid]

I don't see enough Roes, Elezen or m Au Ra running around at max height for my max height viera to feel anything other than giant.

So it's a bit strange to hear people say that it would be "making us feel small" by comparison.

This lmao, so few players use thoose races, adding 1 bishonen tall race will add more variety in game.
Instead of an army of small ppl, with 1 or 2 lonely tall ppl.
