We also had this concept art floating around since back in Heavensward that depicted smaller Viera, so people have been grasping onto the hope that we'd get something similar one day.



Edit:
I think this is the image people are going by when they think of Feol as being smaller.


Personally I'm happy with the Viera as they are now. Yes it'd have been nice to have another race like the Hyur with a clear split between the clans but that's just way too much extra work to put on the developers.
If we are to take the second image as the point to go from we have two viera tribes and no feol tribes. Feol here is being displayed as something similar but different to viera, but not as a viera tribe. So in essence what some are asking for is one viera tribe and one feol tribe.

I think we ended up with two viera tribes because the differences between them are mostly colour palette choices, whereas feol differ in more ways than that. It's less work to do just viera, than to do both viera and feol. And well feol would have just ended up looking like a halfway point between miqo and viera. Not that I would have minded but it's not exactly bringing something new to the table. Also doing that would have most likely meant no hrothgar.
