Can we please have more flexibility in height for our characters?

But isn't the height scaling in XIV an actual 1:1 proportion ratio with everything?

So, scaling wouldn't really change how gear is displayed regardless. The only issue I could see would be extreme up scaling causing the texture pixels to be even more visible, but doubtful that would be an issue for a 10% increase.

Yeah there is no advanced deformation happening when you make your character shorter or taller.
