Please change the height of the Veena!

[Biririnshi]

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.

I agree with you, I hope they would be a bit shorter like Feol, but Yoshida and his dev team ignore roughly about 90% of requests. Maybe a bit more. All they are concerned with at this point is just following the same patch/content formula until FFXIV dies. Until then, don’t expect much to change, cuz they 100% won’t change it.

I would look at the “State of FFXIV” thread. I just don’t really have hope anymore. Just enjoy the game while you still can.

This is why I would chuckle every time someone talked about how "everyone's gonna go Viera! They're gonna be everywhere! So many cat girls are gonna convert!".

Like ... the Viera are a race of TALL amazon women. The 2 tall female races are criminally underplayed for reasons including (but not limited to) the fact that many people in this game seem to not want to play tall women.

I'm sure they're gonna beat Elezen and Femroe by a good bit if only because half of those players will convert ... but I expect many who converted from the Waifu races to convert back once they miss being smoll.

But that's just me, carry on with this thread.

Agreed. People will go straight back to Miqo'te in a month.

I know i wont :P
I have been waiting for a tall race I'll like for forever. I have tried making a Roe but I can't deal with the muscles, but weirdly enough I love seeing Femroe's, just can't play as one.
I have fantasia'd into Elezen several times but never last longer than a week before i get tired of their weird walk, neck and emotes in general.

Miqo was my "main" race before with the occasional fantasia now and then. Now it will be Viera.

Agreed. People will go straight back to Miqo'te in a month.

I will probably be one of those people, but it has nothing to do with the height. The overall personality of the race is what does it for me. From what we've seen of the Viera so far, they seem a more stern with their emotes. Will be interesting to see the rest of them. Miqo'te will always feel more like "me" in that sense, but I am still quite excited to try out Viera for a bit.

I don't see the Viera as "amazon women" because they are not muscular. They are slim and tall. They give a more "Victoria's secret model" vibe. This appeals to a lot of players and it's something new. I agree that the players who admire the cutesy/small aesthetic will not want to play Viera because they are tall.

However, I would not put them in the same category as Roe or Elezen.

The feol are the same height as regular viera the difference between them was skin color and shorter ear they will never change their height.

[Rosenstrauch]

You have Lalafell, Midlanders, Miqo'te, and Au Ra for all your "I want to be the little girl" needs. Why do you need Viera to be short, too?

Also, the Feol Viera are not "smaller and thinner" than any other Viera. That's misinformation from a fanmade picture and not part of the story from the only game they made an appearance in, Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings.
