Only the Au Ra Look drastically different. The Roegadyn look much like Human Male and Females. If you put a Body Builder Male and Female the differences in appearance are about Roegadyn proportions.
Fem Roes don't have even remotely the same build as males. I could go into a lengthy discussion of society's views about women's bodies, but suffice it to say, the women are muscular but still rather slim by comparison to the very stocky and thickly-built men. It's a "sell sex appeal" choice on the part of the developers rather than a choice made with a mind towards biological consistency.
1.) There was never supposed to be Female Roegadyn in the first place, I'm sure if there were the males would have been sized down some, as the Male Roegadyn is the tailless spiritual successor to the Galka.
2.) The bone mass is pretty spot on between the two, the muscle mass not so much but Muscle mass between human male and females are also quite despairing when you look at what each sex is capable of body mass wise. The heights are on par and aren't anywhere near as disparaging as Au Ra. If you have a problem with Roegadyn you should have the same problem with Highlanders as they're mass sizes are also disproportional. The Men are much larger than the women, and facially they don't even look to be the same race as the men are more cromagnum/neanderthal cave man looking and the women look like your basic slightly larger Homosapiens
Playing some character, maybe on Balmung, maybe not.
