Viera Height

[Reeereee]

For some reason I had this idea that lore characters in game were frequently taller than what is possible to achieve for player characters... but I might be confusing it with another game.

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

[CraftOs]

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.

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?

[UsagiAndCrepes]

I think they'll be as expected. Using the cm measurements I imagine around 173-188, but I think a higher variation in height like 160-200 will satisfy many more people if it was possible. Also please note Balthier is also 183 and he's another adult character, then consider subtracting the height of heels and while tall they're definitely not abnormally tall as a tree.

So it wouldn't be surprising to see their height is pretty average, while tall on average for hume standards. If there was a justification for extended height range I would think it would be their heels which they sometimes don't wear, see dancer.

Anyroads, I expect female highlander height but can see justification for more variation. We'll just have to wait and see, or wildly speculate, I guess we can do that too.

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