S-E finally gave us some specific information so I'll paste here from Myllor's post, further down in this thread: Male Roegadyn         7'0.1"    7'3.4"    7'6.7" Female Roegadyn     6'3.6"    6'9.6"    7'3.7" Male Elezen              6'4.4"    6'7.5"    6'10.2" Female Elezen          6'0.2"    6'3.2"    6'6.1"     Male Highlander        6'0.2"    6'3.8"    6'6.8" Female Highlander    5'6.2"     5'11"     6'1.8" Male Midlander         5'6.1"     5'8.9"    5'11.6" Female Midlander     5'2"        5'4.5"    5'7.1" Male Miqo'te            5'2.7"     5'5.4"    5'8.2" Female Miqo'te        4'10.9"    5'1.4"    5'3.8" Male Lalafell             2'10.2"    3'0.2"    3'2.2" Female Lalafell          2'10.2"    3'0.2"    3'2.2" The numbers in each row are what the game regards as minimum, average, and maximum height for each race/gender pairing (and clan in the case of hyur). I'm also leaving Selene's chart since it's still accurate and derives from screenshots rather than observational data: Show Content Dated Info It seems like there might be some benefit for the creation of wikis and such to establish the approximate height ranges for each of the races (and in the case of the hyur each of the two clans).  This was hashed over awhile back in some other thread. Some friends and I recently got together to discuss this in much greater detail.  We pored over some screenshots and what we knew from 1.0 coupled with the information that has been given so far about ARR and we've established the following guidelines which we hope may help during the character creation process or when trying to discern exactly how tall "tall" might be.  Please note that these are not rules etched in stone but rather a suggested guideline based on a series of observations agreed upon by several of us. We thought this might be helpful for some RPers. Please take this for what it is, as this is based on the character sizes as they are represented in game.  There is nothing here to suggest that you cannot make your character taller than the maximum or shorter than the minimum if you so wish, but it may help to illustrate how the height ranges of the races intersect with one another. Maybe someone will find it helpful.   Show Content Chart More Helpful Chart (courtesy of Selene Artemis): Low - (Avg.) - High - Race Name ============================== 6'7" - (7'2") - 7'7" - Roegadyn Male 6'0" - (6'9") - 7'4" - Roegadyn Female 6'3" - (6'7") - 7'0" - Elezen Male 5'7" - (5'11") - 6'6" - Elezen Female 5'10" - (6'5") - 6'9" - Highlander Hyur Male 5'5" - (5'10") - 6'2" - Highlander Hyur Female 5'4" - (5'8") - 6'2" - Midlander Hyur Male 4'10" - (5'3") - 5'9" - Midlander Hyur Female 5'0" - (5'5") - 5'7" - Miqo'te Male 4'8" - (5'0") - 5'4" - Miqo'te Female 2'9" - (2'11") - 3'2" - Lalafell Male 2'9" - (2'11") - 3'2" - Lalafell Female A super special thank you to the following people for helping me establish these figures:  Nel, Selene, Ellie, Garaf, Kylin, Isilme, Aysun, Manari, and Rora.  Also thanks to everyone on the RPC who has shown interest in this project and its progress.  Perhaps someday in the not-too-distant future we can provide a bit more detail about how we came to some of these numbers but for now we do seem in agreement of their relative accuracy.
