So, why isn't this a thing yet?

Can you imagine the children lalafel in a raid? People be like "Oh man, how'd you summon your minion in this instance. I so jelly!"

Because the Japanese society is extremely judgemental of anything that relate to children. When the hentai friends get wind of this and rush to play the game making doujins about these loli'tes, you can be sure Square Enix will be under pressure to stop designing these.

A small company of nobody can afford to do it and stand up straight, claiming gentleman. Square Enix cannot.

that thing looked like it crawled out of my darkest nightmares oh god

While I don't really care one way or the other since I wouldn't be playing as one...which map is this one on? I'll admit I wasn't paying special attention to all the NPCs I talked to.

I wish. So adorable! ^_^

She's in Idyllshire.

Oh that was the creepiest looking thing, OP. I needed to sleep at some point tonight, why you do this to me!?

There's also a child Miqo'te in Revenant's Toll. Saw her the other day when I was running around there for a quest. She's on top of the ledge/building just above Slafborn, on the northwestern side of the Aetheryte plaza

I would switch immediately.

She doesn't appear to everyone though. (Probably a quest to do ?...) I was talking to the NPC next to her when a player asked me if I could move a little so they can screenshot her... Never saw her on my screen, I was photobombing without knowing it XD

Edit: If people are worried about children fighting, just call it a mixed race between lalafell and miquote (Lala'quote) and say its 20 years old and it should be fine right? Lalafell still look more childish and can fight and marry in game.

Yes please! I have been desiring lalaquotes from.... WELL, SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIMES.

The cuteness of lalafell + feline traits.. *-*... Nyanthastic.

You guys are no fun at all.

You would not see sarcasm even if it was staring right in your eyes.

Also, please avoid acting so judgemental when so many in the game play young female catgirls (or, lately, very small Au Ra).

On a side note - I find it extremely funny how it was some of you guys mentioning pedophilia in the first place. I hope you don't have such issues, it would be really a problem.

I personally just find her extremely cute. It's like when you see something and you all go like "OMG I NEED IT NAO". This is what I meant.

I wish people would stop reading too much into things just because they enjoy judging others.

Right, because Final Fantasy doujinshi are SO rare.

LMAO

ITT:
OP plays loli card.
Loli card admonished
OP plays sarcasm trap card
Trap card obliterated by Pathetic Excuse
OP plays Deflection card
Deflection card defeated by Mirror. OP takes 10,000 damage.

Considering the issues the anime industry had with "Lolis" and what the word is associated with. Again. No.

Seriously, SE's already drifting close to that "its small and cute to the point it's creepy" with the Lalafell and Auri women, I would only hope they stay away from adding playable children because it would be crossing right into that line, especially when you've got the ability to wear fishnets and several sets have a more revealing allure.

I am not sure where the "Mirror" card was played, tho.

To be fair, given that Miqo'te and Elezen have longer lifespans compared to Hyurs, she probably is around 17-20 years old. Remember that a longer life means a longer maturation process. Just look Alphinaud.

I find it funny some people are saying if she was a playable race/character its going to promote pedophilia, no, those people are already screwed up in the head before she came along. The same way those people will look at a lalafell/taru and be one of two people, either A) Shes a short adult type or B) Looks like a kid. Yet we speak of sexualizing a race but yet a majority of people voted for this to be added to the game.

Just my thought on the whole thing.

To be fair, given that we're playing a game, she looks 10 years old. Remember that we're playing a game and creepy people like to creep. Just look at ENTM nude illusion.

Augh, it's those faces... they're freakin' creepy as all hell. If they ever do, I pray to the divines they don't look like that.

Tera is over there.

Precisely.

The amount of hypocrisy in this thread is staggering, to say the least.

wtb fantasia asap if this ever happens xd

Also peoples fear of cute things is as humorous as ever...this is an Asian game you know? They don't think "porn" as soon as they see a child, unlike some ppl in this thread....with a strange insecurity that tells maybe quite a lot about them xD

While I'm not one to start talking about making models sexual (tbh I never want Viera in ffxiv), there's a difference between having the option for a sexualized adult character and a the option of having a sexualized child character, hint the term "loli" has huge connections with the sexualization of children.

SE is already getting close to that "looks like a kid BUT DON'T WORRY IT'S NOT" with Lalafell (And I'd say arguably Auri women) let's not push it further. The Viera concept art posted earlier was suppose to be Viera children. Unless if SE planned to limit a whole lot of gear (specifically stuff like the bunny set or any set with unnecessary skin showing) for people playing children characters, which wouldn't happen, you start to get into creepy territory with your children PC models running around in fishnet tights and bikini tops.

Some joker's gonna run around with that in skimpy clothing and it'll just look so wrong.

For some reason Lalas are fine.

yes they are, but thinking adding/having a certain type of anything(whatever that pic is, cant see it) is going to promote people to make doujins is pretty stupid. it hasnt stopped people from making doujins about Mashiro(Mikakunin de Shinkōkei)or Yotsuba(Yotsubato).(off topic, i want more Suwakoto. Suwako as Yotsuba is great.) rule 34 exists for a reason, not a good one but its there. case in point; there are doujins of this game from 2 years ago.
the main reason i see any company not having kids/children do fighting is because it would somehow support violence in children. And everyone knows, you cant have children fight in games.

As I remade my character with my free Fantasia, I realized how young every male human (I don't care to remember the game's name for them, no offense) looks due to the sad lack of facial hair options. This on top of the perplexingly babyface face choices that are available as well.

I started to think however, that the "young adventurer" is a fairly popular archetype, even when you don't take into account the littany of bland "young adult" novels that are littering the landscape.

This isn't actually that surprising when you remember that most fantasy stories will follow the Monomyth by design, which is structured in such a way that a young protagonist makes more sense. He or she needs to be untraveled and inexperienced, which is more often the case with young adults than adults.

Even in A Song of Ice and Fire, the most popular, most mature fantasy series right now, most of the heroes are children or young adults.

The fundamental issue with allowing you to make a young adult character in an MMO - to allow you to make a Harry Potter or a Jon Snow, which shouldn't be a shocking desire to anyone - is that many/most countries won't allow games to show violence towards children. I don't know how this works with fantasy violence - there have been Harry Potter games, after all. But FFXIV has swords and axes and hacking and slashing that is probably a far cry from the violence in a Harry Potter game.

The fact that some other players or NPCs that this hypothetical young adult character will be fighting against will be adult characters makes it even worse. Which isn't to say that a graphic Battle Royale/Hunger Games video game would be well received, but it certainly has a better chance than a game where a giant horned demon man fights teenagers with an axe.

Lala characters are adults and we know it, they're also shaped like potatoes, so it's hilarious to see them try to be sexy.

Children running around in subligars is not something i want to see in this game. Toddlers in tiaras already makes me gag.

As a side note, does anyone supporting them know what kind of audience this game will attract? Not the good kind.

Justin proves otherwise. This is a japanese made game.. and if anything japanese games have taught us... are that little girls are truly magical girls, with the ability to slay Gods. If anything, they'd prolly be more OP.

same with these 3

http://www.legendra.com/media/artwor...ii_art_139.jpg

Just chiming in to say that I support this. It doesn't even have to be children, per se - they could add playable hybrids and let us play as Lalaqo'te which would likely look pretty close to that model.

I, personally, really like playing cute characters but do NOT like the potato-like qualities of the Lalafell. A race sitting somewhere in-between Miqo'te and Lalafell would have been absolutely perfect for me. Like the Lyn from Blade & Soul:

http://i.imgur.com/ZoJiUNS.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/119Uchl.jpg

If the next race filled that particular niche, I would fantasia to them instantly. It's a very obvious hole in the current lineup, plus it would have HUGE appeal in Japan, China, and Korea. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

We don't send childrens to the battle fields (kids older than 15 don't count)

15 is a kid until the age of 18 maybe not in some states but still a kid.

Unless they do something to be charged as an adult.
