Height and muscle tone is the most debatable here. I'm all for the muscle slider thing I want them to have some buffness but
the main reason I get attacked for here is the height thing. I want some more variety like women do with Au Ra females between the
2 shorter races. I'm really tired of stereotyping genders like all men need to be "tall/buff" or whatever and females need to be "short/fragile".
Luckily for the females they got all those stereotypes covered. The main contributor being femRoe having a huge height slider to cover the
extremely tall woman niche. All that's left is probably the "beastly" niche which I wish they implement with height between Midlander and
Highlander because there's a huge gap there. I hope we get the same treatment for mViera to go below Miqote. The main reason
for having femRoe have this slider is to fill the niche but avoid extremely depopulizing the race's female due to the female stereotype.
I want FF14's team to fill the unpopular niche of men being below stereotype height filled while avoiding low popularity due to it.

And if anyone's gonna once again tell me to "just play Miqote", then you are completely ignorant. Miqote height is the real average world height.
There's no option to overcome that stereotype other than Lalafell, which for players who do not play the race are obviously not for disproportioned near-humanoid creatures.

I repeat, I am not against having an option to be the same height as an average female Viera.
A male midlander can be 5'5, a male miqo'te can be 5'2. Exactly how many adult men do you see under that height? You have 2 races, especially miqo'te that can be particularly short for a man, and you want another one? If you want something shorter than 5'2 there is a lalafell. What are you wanting a male that is 4'8? I'm sorry, I do not think male viera should be 4'8, they should be 6'+ like the females; equal in height.
