Please change the height of the Veena!

[Reeereee]

The fantasia I'm about to drink to change to Au Ra is going to taste even sweeter now that I know there are people out there who are bothered by them.

Ssshhhh, don't bring a midlander into "dare to be different" argument.

You weren’t the one I reported. And nobody directly threatened you. Stop.



That’s another report. Go flame somewhere else. Matter of fact, you were quite rude on the previous thread.

Oh, I'm so frightened, you're so frightening you powerful keyboard warrior, careful everyone if we call the angry child out they will report us because we are being rude and questioning their hard established facts!

Seriously, this is pathetic. People are calling you out for being offensive and rude and you were literally banned for it so now you've made a new account for seemingly the sole reason of coming back to retaliate and jump back into the same drama. Spouting off nonsense about SJW's in about half of your current posts already.

You literally admitted to it in the other thread you just mentioned "oh this is so fun please keep arguing with me! In fact you should make an alt and come at me in game!" You're a troll playing the victim card, and you also aren't the only person capable of reporting others, here's an idea lets see who gets banned first.

Ps: to everyone else, i apologize for the drama and for derailing the thread.

Even Feols are tall, the only thing mentioned about them is that their ears are shorter and skin is fair. So, technically, you could cosplay Feol as Veena - just set your ear slider at 0. Also their minimal height is 178.8 cm, it's not that tall really and I say it as somebody with 160cm irl height.


Aside from this, it's fun how about males people scream that we have enough short options when 5 of them are 180+, 2 are just normal height and 1 is noticeably short. But at the same time for females, where only 2 options are 180+, only 2 are 170+, 1 is 150+, 2 are 140+ and 1 noticeably short people continue to ask more short options.

For the rest, I'm certainly not opposed to everyone getting what they want. Honestly I can even understand the people who want more youthful looking characters since what I picture when people request it is late teens like Alphinaud, something about younger characters facing dangerous situations is heroic, look at a lot of popular stories, games, or movies (the Eragon /books/ the legend of zelda games, even various other final fantasy games.)

With Viera we got what we were never even actually promised simply because people wanted it so badly, and one way or another there were going to be people who would be unhappy with that since there are a lot of loud voices unhappy with most everything.

I personally like the way Viera fit neatly between Elezen and Highlanders, because when it comes to it that's exactly where they belong: still fit but not the way highlander girls are, still tall and graceful but not as tall as Elezen girls (unless you count the ears, then they are probably the single tallest race.)

Then they also have the ability to be really stunningly beautiful like miqo'te and au ra characters, or fierce/stern like roes and highlanders.. so literally most everyone can find something to like in their design because the characters you are able to make capture most all of the best aspects of every other race to date.

That said..
I will also agree that it would be nice to see older races get a bit of polish but that is a touchy subject to approach in an mmo because people come to feel such an attachment to their characters.

They're still a full foot shorter than a max height female Roe. https://old.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...arison_female/

With ears included they would be about as tall as a max female roe.

I think i see about a 1 inch difference in favor of Viera at max height those ears are op plz nerf.

No touching my precious Veena height. Imma go all max for maximum amazon bunniness.

Misread that as "maximum amazon business" for a moment and pictured a Viera with a suit and brief case.

Business or Bunniness, I'm all for it. I love the idea of playing a tall lady but could never get a look I was happy with as Roe, Elezen or Highlanders. So until now I went to the other extreme. Eorzea's about to get a whole lot smaller for me.

Can't wait.

Today I was really happy to be able to create my Veena on FFXIV!
I was waiting the Viera from a really long time, but I got really disappointed about one thing: their height...
I know that the Viera are tall according to the lore, but I was hoping that Veena could have been more like the Feol, the second clan that looks more thin and small than the first one, so that every type of player can decide to create Viera or Veena according to their own liking and satisfaction.
Since Viera and Hrothgar will be the last races of the game, I would like to launch a message to Yoshi-p and ask him if it's possible to modify the actual minimum limit of the height, and setting it as low as 1.60m for example, in order to make everyone able to satisfy their own liking in the creation of their character.
I would be very sad to give up to the opportunity to create a Veena for this dumb but at the same time important reason, especially for the more casual group of gamers.

If this post will achieve success and reach a good visibility, maybe Yoshi-p will listen to our request.

Let me tell you no in Spanish NO!
