Male Viera... Unsubbing for now.

[Sheriyana]

midlanders and miqo'te aren't "slim." Midlander has a generic average build with adjustable muscle tone. Miqo'te are rather muscular with an average upper body and slightly thinner lower body without an adjustable muscle tone.

Elezen are a little more on the lithe side yes, but they are very lanky with their odd proportions and they look bulky still, and again no adjustable muscle tone

We have no lithe male in the sense that it is more petite and frail looking.

This is exactly it. I don't really have much more to add to it. Elezen are the only race that kind of fit the bill but no male FF main character is that tall.

When it comes to me hoping that male Viera might have had the slimmer build, first of all, not all concept art is representative of the released version, see Au Ra for plenty of examples on that and second, me hoping it could have been like that doesn't mean that I was even expecting for them to look like that. It was one of those situations for me personally that it would have been nice if it happened but I wouldn't have been here flipping tables if I didn't get my wish, as unlikely as it was.
