Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

As long as they add a non-teenager face like Miqo'te has I'll be fine with them. It will also depend on how tall they are, for those of us who are tall being as short as midlander is a big problem.

They will most likely have a similar height range as the females.

They will most likely have the same height range as the females.

"Most likely" based on what?
Male/female height has the same precedence that it has in real life.

I have a great feeling they will listen to our suggestion of making the male Viera slider have a high degree of range so that you can be taller than Highlander but as short as midlander.

I actually meant to say similar, not the same. And it's just based off comparison screenshots. I've seen a few good screenshots that seem like they are within the same height range. I've also done a few comparisons myself (like in your thread).

Edit:

I've seen a few people who want male viera min/max height to be just a little bit shorter than the females, nothing extreme or drastic. Since the female viera are quite tall, even if the males are a bit shorter than the females, they would still be tall. I don't really have a problem with it either way.

On a side note, I have done a height comparison of my own that I posted in my thread, but I'll post it here too. They look to be around the same height.


(Keep in mind the female viera is wearing high heels)

When I was doing this comparison, I tried to keep their head size the same (I figure their heads will be relatively the same size in the game, so that's the way I measured it). That's what the red outline is showing.

I did a second height comparison privately and found that max height male viera's head (the very top of their head, not ears) goes up to max height female roegadyn's collarbone. Minimum height male viera goes up to max height female roegadyn's chest.

None of this is 100% accurate obviously, just an estimate.

I wish I saved it, but I'll see if I can do it again. It'll be a few minutes and I'll edit it in this post.

Edit: Found the image I used finally. So from my previous image, it looked like the male viera was about 8 heads tall. So with that information, I did this:



When I look at the character height sheet, there doesn't seem to be a huge range in height save for female roegadyn. So I was really just eyeballing that range from 0%-100% which is why I didn't plan on posting it since it's really not that accurate lol

Edit #2: It looks like max height female viera also reaches up to female roegadyn's collar or somewhere around that.



If I were to take a guess, it looks like there's only going to be a few centimeters of difference in height.

Here is another good height comparison.

This is a comparison between X height male viera and max height male midlander.

The male viera head does seem a little bigger, so the scaling might be a tad bit off. If this is the case, assume he's a little smaller than what the picture shows.

I made another height comparison but this time with female viera and male midlander.

Assuming the male viera in the trailer is at 50% height, the males and females should pretty much be the same height. (and also assuming the male viera don't have a wider height range.)

I take a long break and you're still on this? This is just kind of sad.

Just wanted to point something, don't give the one from reddit much credibility, you can download the source material which is a gimp file, that person moved the female picture a bit upwards to make the height difference bigger, same thing he/she did in a previous post and was called out for it.

Are you referring to the one JuzJuzz posted? I'll go ahead and remove that from the examples then. I wanted to show other people's examples, not just mine. Actually, I wanted to post yours too but when I went to quote yours, the image wasn't copied along with the quote.

Yup, that one, mine is not flawless either tho, but at least it's not intetional XD

[Duskane]

sheesh some people are shallow "no they aint men they are just boys" and vice versa for females just because they are slim and have clean faces makes them super young.
and every race in this game has a older and younger face even Miqo'te and au ra can look older like F'lhaminn.

You're fine, it's the same thing with me. Just trying to get a decent estimate on height.

[Anvaire]

Not asking for Overly Masculine. Just something that doesn't look....barely 18 if even 18. Id like it more if they appeared more mature. Not like 40+ but outside of the..Im not even sure how to describe it without just calling them children.

(Everything else is not relevant to what Im talking about)

Again that would be lore breaking as viera physically stop aging around adolescence, so you would never get one that looks older than a teen really.
