I think SE should let us make shorter Elves like Alphinaud

I really like Elves, most of my DnD characters have been Elves, but I dislike the giant elves in FF and I'm so jealous of the story Elves that aren't. I really hope in the future we'll be able to make ours smaller too.

No. There's no need for playable children in the game - which is exactly what shorter elves are in this setting. Luckily the development team themselves have ruled it out.

So you want half-elezens/half-hyurs?

They're not short for no reason. They're still kids. Probably won't hit their growth spurt till their much later teen years.

I don't think this thread is necessarily about playable children, probably more traditional elves. Like wood elves for example. Hilda for example. We won't ever get a half race, would be nice though. I'd play a hyur/elezen if they looked good, even over viera. Since presumably their head would be able to use all headgear, being just a hyur head.

All of the elezen in Ishgard were full grown and very tall. Look at Aymeric. This also applies to elezen in Gridania and elsewhere in the Black Shroud.

It will never happen. Elezen are a tall race, and uniquely proportioned. A traditional DnD elf looks like Hilda. Granted, drow should be shorter, and they have different coloration, but Hilda would be the look. Really too bad they don't have the resources to do more for the races we have, new races, or potentially a playable half elezen race like Hilda.

Lalafell

Lalafell are short elves.

Or shorter Viera. The shortest height still towers over everyone lol.
