Viera males should be smaller like Au Ra females

[Kai_Lee]

I play as a male au'ra and I tone down the height to shortest I think I don't remember exactly but my character is short for a au'ra and still I tower over other male characters when I'm in a party.

They seem pretty short too me. Head sizes usually stay the same if your taller or shorter. So by this picture it is accurate to say that feol do seem shorter.

Ah, so this is where people got the idea that the Feol are shorter. As Renik said, this isn't canon (it's a tumblr post). It doesn't even mention that the Feol Viera live in a volcano, their father race is the Aegyl and they're exiled.

I'm curious where the person who made that is getting the small bits of male Viera lore from. Is that mentioned in FFXII:RW or FFXII anywhere?

The male Viera lore is from the Ultimania, where it mentions the Viera in general being so isolationist that both sexes live in different villages and only meet to mate (A nice handwave to Eruyt being female-only).

It might already been said but.. When the dramaturge was describing male Vira during the 24man.. He said they were large furry and feral like.. So they would probably be bigger then the females who already look large.

Hmm... If I could play a semi buff feral rabbit with pronunced canines, raging eyes, slick backed ears, and maybe some claws on their fingers, I'd fantasia to that lol.

It's aright, I didn't take it that way.
At this point, I think it's unrealistic to expect males to be incredibly short compared to the females. However, I still would like to be able to create a male that is shorter than the females. Just a tad shorter, but not the same kind of extreme height difference au ra have going on.

I don't think male miqo'te fits the short and slim niche. I mean, they're not tall, but they have broad shoulders and somewhat wide torsos. Omega M has a thin torso and the body type is even slimmer than that of male miqo'te.

I don’t recall that. When did he ever say they were large?

Got a source on that? He didn't describe them at all from what I saw. In fact, he emphasized how he hasn't seen them at all. He just said that people who try looking for them don't find them or end up dead. Also, the females aren't "large." Unless you mean tall. But then...large and tall have different connotations and don't mean the same thing.

Yoshi P did describe them, although he described them as elegant, slim, and handsome.

Yeah I get that the director described what he thought they would look like, but the person I replied to referred to the Dramaturge, who did nothing of the sort. (BTW I'm all for the type Yoshi P described.)
