Eva was 'shortest' in 1.0 but we gave her a little height in ARR. She's still shorter than an average elezen, but not by as much. We picked '33' on the height slider for a number of reasons. I figure she's about 5'9".

These results so far are pretty interesting. The males lean heavily towards the tall end while the females are a little more spread out, but lean slightly to the shorter side.

I guess that shouldn't be too surprising, but it's still interesting.

I tend to put ALL of my characters on the tall side, both male and female.

I have a Seawolf Roegadyn that's on the tallest possible setting, so she towers over everyone except average to tall male Roegadyn. I love how she feels powerful without feeling overly bulky like the male Roegadyn feel.

I have a Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te that's on the highest setting because they're already very short and having them on the tallest still makes them very short compared to the other races (sans Lalafell). The height actually turns me off of Miqo'te more than their extreme popularity does, but I had some fun with the face paint and made a combination that just looks strange on anything but Miqo'te, so I'll be playing one come launch anyway.

My other character is an Elezen that I haven't quite decided her height yet. I had her on the tallest setting to begin with, but that made her look really gangly compared to the other races. I set on her on very short for a bit, since that would still make her taller than a lot of characters, but then her proportions looked way off, since she was way thinner than everyone else and her small head really stood out. I'll be messing with her more, but she'll probably end up somewhere around the halfway mark, or a little lower.

I've tried playing tall characters in the past, but they never feel quite "right" to me.  Guess it has to do with being 5'1 IRL and being more comfortable as a short guy.  Besides to quote Master Yoda, "Size matters not"

Adelpha isn't a full-blooded Highlander despite using the (freakishly tall) female Highlander model, so she gets to be 0/100!

I put my Roegirldyn at the shortest possible setting. The idea of being the shortest in a race that is the tallest just amused me to no end. Usually I trend towards characters that are more in the middle of the average height range (between races, not just their own), so it's weird playing a tall character...even a short-tall one.

On the other hand I put my Manqo'te at the tallest, but I might make him a little shorter come phase 4/launch. I like the look of the tall Miqo'te, but I'm not sure if it actually fits him.

I also have a recently made Lalafell alt who is the shortest of the short, because why not. Wink I made him short so that even around female Lalafells he would look (and feel) a little bit intimidated.

So...I guess overall I have a lot of shorties.

For my highlander I think she will be around the 65-70 mark. I'm only 5'5 in real life and always wished I was a bit taller Big Grin Its freaky when I meet males that are much shorter though, I can't take them seriously as I figure they probably have short man syndrome.

If "freakin' huge" was a setting, I would pick that instead of 100.

abai will be 100% for female highlander. I generally always go super tall whether its male or female. More so with female characters as I am 5'11" irl. that and not many people really make Amazon women. Itskinda fun !!!

I have always put my male highland hyur around 70%. Now after looking at this graph, I'm thinking, maybe I didn't make my character tall enough? Undecided

I like a slightly above average for both gender. If I ever play a Lalafell though, it will be the smallest size Big Grin
