Viera Height

[Ariane]

Ahh not too bad I suppose.

If Fran is the tallest Viera could get or is mid height then the shortest Viera is probably around Female Midlander Highest height....which is ok to me I suppose.

Fran is only slightly shorter than my female elezen, who is at max height. Another said she's about as tall as their mid height female elezen. Most NPCs, even including the major ones, are at the 50 mid (default) height. Further since Fran's an early Viera model, its even more likely she's at the mid (default) height. This makes Viera around female elezen height. Even the smallest female elezen is taller than the tallest midlander.

I fear we cannot really base Viera height off Fran though.

Fran has a demihuman model iirc, and if they tried to set it close to what Viera height will be, is it max, min, mid or what?

They aren't giantess but I'd expect a female Highander-Elezen average height.

Fran's model is just ripped straight from FFXII and not made using the character creation tools in XIV at all. That doesn't mean it can't be used at all though - it is reasonable to expect that if Viera were tall before they will still be tall now, and her overall height probably fits right in the range for the eventual character creation version.

i wish ppl would stop saying this. frans model is not ripped, the hands and feet are different. its close in most other respects yes, but this is a custom model.

^ what the femroe said. FFXIV Frans eyebrows, eye colour, ears etc are slightly different from the FF12 model. FF14 Fran has shorter ears

I don’t understand. That model isn’t actually from FFXIV files? Then why are people comparing races with something not made from the character creator? Makes no logical sense at all. We will know for sure when the benchmark is out then I guess.

@Tsukino
Fran uses the customised demihuman FFXIV model they use for everyone/everything that doesn't have a specific model.

@Kaoru
The word "tall" is not very clear. Fran might've been tall in FFXII where a tall character like Basch was more or less the same height as her but they still have a pretty human range. In FFXIV we have some giants making "tall" quite relative.

@CraftOs
It's speculation driven by curiosity, nothing harmful

[Dagget]

Fran is a custom model for FFXIV, but we can reasonably assume they set her height to be in the range the actual Viera will have in character creation, and I would guess she's at or near the top end that will be available.

Yea, I was weirded out when I saw her because I expected her to be......taller.

Fran is 6' 2"

If you look at the height slider in character creation, you can see that Elezen females can go a bit past that at max height.

If you watch the Viera reveal video, there seems to be a decent level of height variation in the sample of character models shown. Maybe Viera will have a wider range than other races?
