I think it is worth to mention that Alphinaud and Alisaie aren't "children". They are as far as i remember adults after sharlayan law and idk if you can call a 16+ Alphinaud still a child. It's also not like Eorzea can be compared to our modern society anyways. Heck they even try to sell kiddos in Ul, not to mention the arcanist questline. If they would be still children i think they would have now a really heavy trauma, i would have one even as an adult after the stuff they saw and did.
Also i don't say that it's ok to draw lewd stuff with them, just pointing out what the lore says. The story is really rough sometimes and that also to children, because Hydaelyn isn't a nice place. Slavery, famines, MONSTERS EVERYWHERE, wars, bandits and pirates, more monsters and primals and whatever else there is...the world isn't nice and especially not towards kiddos, so they have to grow up fast.
Ofc that's not an argument for being able to play as kiddos, in my eyes that would be stupid. Wouldn't match the adventurer story behind the game well in my eyes. (Also we don't want to feed the creeps out there even more!)
