Â For the purposes of our initial observations, I was not including the ears. Â You said 'significantly' though, so I'm not sure. Â Also hair adds height as well, and that's something else to be aware of.
I stood Deirdre (Shortest Wildwood Elezen Female) next to Bancroft (Tallest Moonkeeper Miqo'te Male) and he is significantly shorter... but the graph says they are the same height.
Subsequently, Gospel (Shortest Midlander Hyur Male) next to Bancroft, they are also the same height. The graph there says Gospel should be taller...
... will be interesting to see the comparison with the screenshots once NDA is over.
EDIT: Â I took another look at our data, and confirmed that what you say is accurate to our observations. Â What had been done for the sake of determine ranges was max heights rounded up to the next inch/ilm, and min heights rounded down rather than up. Â As such, there is kind of a +/- 2" difference between minimums and maximums for the purposes of establishing an appropriate range difference between two character.
More exact numbers will come when the NDA is lifted and I'll be glad to "show all my work" as it were. Â This chart is intended to be used as a guideline for what would be reasonable height ranges for characters. Â It is not exact and rounds down on the low end and rounds up on the high end, but not drastically so.
EDITAGAIN:
TL;DR version - Heights were rounded up on the tall end and rounded down on the low end based on different comparisons - so the overall ranges will be a bit larger, which in turn means that comparisons between tallest of one race and shortest of another may be skewed - but not by much.
