I apologize for instigating this original argument and perhaps that my initial reaction was a bit too surprised for not considering how tall Elezen really are. When I was running around in 1.0 I only noticed it once in a while, but otherwise everyone was just the same-- aside from the Lalafell and Miqo'te who generally seemed smaller, but regardless. It was not in my place to get excited once I saw someone else RPing outside of the norm, only to realize that it more than likely /is/ the norm (or at least the taller aspect of the norm)

That being said...considering that in the real world we have these outstandingly tall people, I don't see what's wrong with having the same figures in a fantasy setting. I guess the whole point of the character creation slider might be to give an idea of the smallest and tallest of a race, but I'm betting it doesn't count the 8 foot Hyur that, while rare, is still an anomaly that happens every once in a while.

Then, considering if Elezens are around 7' or so, or if they're supposed to be around 6-7', then I guess 7'9" isn't even that bad and can't be considered that outside the ordinary. I mean there's gotta be some considerable leeway.

that and this is a fantasy world we're talking about and we shouldn't be so obsessed with making sense in a world where we ride on giant yellow birds and cast magic >.>

The long and short of it - 'height' in FFXIV.
