To be honest, 6 foot 4 is actually pretty fking tall. Most women in my country that is over 6 foot tall will most likely be a forever alone. Lol

Of course I was being sarcastic - pretty sure solidsnakekam was too , because everytime someone ask how tall a character is, everyone just answer something above 6foot. Because they see hem as menacing and strong character or something like that.
But really, as long as there isn't a clear answer from a dev or something, you can't know a character's height, it's really up to you, and how you imagine them.
For example, in cutscenes, Quiet is as tall as Venom. You can see it clearly in the " rain dance " cutscene, when they're holding each other they stand right in front of each other and they're the exact freaking same height. Hell, Quiet is even bare-foot while Venom is wearing shoes, so if you take that cutscene as a refence Quiet is actually taller than V. But she obviously can't be, a woman as tall as a average-height / tall looking man is really uncommon. They're the same heigt because of devs lazyness.

So... OP, they're as tall as you picture them to be. If you want to picture Venom as big 1m90 bear, you can. Or you can picture him as a shorty or even *gasp* an average 175cm. Same goes for Quiet.
That was the serious answer.

Big Boss was 5'9'', so if Venom is his body double it should be around there.

Btw Snake is between 6'2 - 6'5, if you go by the literal in game scaling. Lay flat on the ground, lay down two decoys. (One at snake's feet, one where his head was)

Mark them, step away from the decoys and face them head on in a straight line to measure the difference in difference and get snake's height in meters. Convert to Ft

That's pretty clever.

It might have been the same problem that Squaresoft had with FF7. Because the average height is lower in Japan, a "big, imposing" character is something like 170cm. Then when the rest of the world realised how tiny Cloud actually was, they retconned it to be something like 195cm by Crisis Core.

Yeah I think so too. The actual canon height of Snake is probably no bigger than 5'10, seems like Kojima wouldn't have a reason to make him tall and would instead choose something closer to average in Japan.

This is actually pretty much proven too when you see Snake Vs Volgin in MGS 3. Volgin is obviously much taller than Snake, but can't really be higher than 6'5 or at least probably isn't.

Considering Quiet is based on Stephanie Joosten and she's 5'6" tall. Quiet must be 5'6".

However, there's some references for Big boss that covers how tall he is....

http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Big_Boss

...however, the two heights listed are counterdicting. Meaning that he couldn't have possibly grown that much between the two time periods. So it's a contradiction in itself.

I would venture to say that Venom would have to be close to the same height.

She's the facial model for quiet. The body is mostly not her. As anyone who has seen Joosten in a bikini can tell.

they did some adjustments to her body, it is Steph all the way, she did the mocap. not for boob physics tho, she laughed as hell when she saw her self in the game, you can find that on youtube
Venom is half Keifer half someone else.

They did "extend" Quiet a bit, Steph is kind of short and cute while Quiet is way taller so they played with proporitons and even made her head bigger but they nailed it
