    Height of an Ancient

    Please note as of posting this I am not done with Endwalker, but I am in the 5th map.

    All through late Shadowbringers I noticed that in addition to being short, given then I am a max height Lalafell (3'2") but that compared to the Ancients I am just...that much smaller coming up to maybe halfway up their shin. Come Endwalker and in Elpis I am then very near their waist. How tall are they normally and how much do we actually grow to be in that map? Is my character near a Roe in height while still being short compared to an Ancient or am I missing something else entirely? I figure this fits into Lore as it is the height of a race, even if an NPC one.

    There was actually a height chart put up on Twitter recently.

    Turns out, their canonical heights are close to six meters tall. (And the tallest one is Hermes, which I did NOT notice.)

    No wonder I feel so short, Hermes is near 20ft tall compared to my 3'2.

    Honestly, I think the height carryover from Amaurot was a bad idea. It causes more issues than its worth, as the Q&A kinda demonstrated. lol Should have stayed a "Hades remembers them all as larger than life." kind of thing.

    ... And according to that height chart, the hyuran WoL is about 7 foot 4 inches? Even if I'm wrong and its an elezen, that doesn't seem right.

    Must have happened about twelve or thirteen millenia ago. Me and my little lalafel were out in Elpis, you see. When all of the sudden, this huge creature, this Ancient just comes out of nowhere!

    It stood above us looking down on us with its masked face and I yelled. I said “How tall are you Ancient?"

    And the Ancient bent down and said “I'm about 350cm”
