Well, I've noticed that Canthan Characters are smaller then Tyrian one's (biggest Canthan is smaller then biggest Tyrian and smallest Canthan is smaller then smallest Tyrian). Anyway, here is a picture that really notes the difference. A smallest Canthan (my ranger) next to a biggest Tyrian (guildie Warrior).



Now that's a size difference!

just a note i might be wrong but aren t the females smaller then males to begin with? if so you might want it to be 2 male warriors 1 from each game standing next to each other.

Warrior Males are the tallest class in the game...does that surprise you given their nature?

i think you can notice it on the character creation menus, compare the max size on the height-scale of both the tyrian and the canthan, the canthans were a bit smaller if im not mistaken: )

Umm seeing as Factions has the asian theme to it, if you look at Asian culture, they are naturally shorter by stature than other cultures. hence why Canthan chars are smaller than Tyrian chars.

Monks are shorter than warriors---my husband has a warrior and my male monk next to him looks like 2 feet shorter! (they are both tyrian). I think they just made the warriors bigger as a class than any of the others. (my mesmer next to the warrior is shorter as well---and she is the tallest I could make her).

Generally, Asian people are short, but there are exceptions (i.e. Yao Ming). And I think a much better comparison would be to put two tall male warriors together. A male Tyrian, and a male Canthan.

I don't know... asian around me... well, chinese male around me are all above 5'11", and most of they are not even 16 years old. Maybe it had something to do with born and live in the states.
