Miqo'te Kitten, that's all

They're a miqo'te child, and you are not going to be able to select child-sized versions of any race, nor should you, really.

Too bad, player characters in this game need to be relatively of-age adults. Ask yourself what kind of people would want to play as child characters. There's your answer. Not gonna happen.

There is a Reason why we cannot play as Childs in this Game.
There is bad People outside of the Game and would purposely harrass the Players who would play as a Child or do some Emotes to them, that are in no Way appropriate.

Actually, you re able to catch a lalafell child in Azyz Lla:
Compound #666
Compound #123

But no. There is a (obvious) reason, why no one should be able to play a child in MMORPG. There are so "wrong" pictures already about Lalafells and Elyns (TERA Online)... .

wtf xD where does all the hate about childs and lalafells are just coming? there must be something wrong with you guys ^^

i dont see any reason why we shouldnt have childs in this game, there a bunch of game where the playable main character is a child there is nothing wrong about.
childs can also be a superhero :D maybe a little bit clumsy one, but still a hero. -> just see The Last Guardian its totally nothing wrong about.
dunno why ppl against childs, thats give me a weird feel about ppl out there in this world, must be some really bad and sick ppl i guess :3

It's about Perverts going for Kids. That's the main Reason Childs won't be added as Playable Characters in FFXIV!

Comparing Single Player Games versus MMORPGs where Creeps are able to do the /em Chatline is a huge difference.

This reminds me of the live letter Q&A where someone asked if Alphinaud was a lalafell/elezen mix and Yoshi was taken aback by how obvious it should be he was just a young elezen.

It's like Lalafell players can't understand the existence of children since their children grow up to adult size so quickly lol

Why everyone wanna play kids, I know there's a cast of kids characters (Rydia, Palom, Porom, Ceodore, Krile, Eiko, etc) but guys, we're talking about FFXIV where people practice erp and spam weird things in public. Men here create woman char to make them naked, now take this but with childs.
I would be for, if the entire community was mature. And having Lalafells is already the contrary of that

I concur that we shouldn't have child characters in the game; however, I would like to point out that we Lalafell are perfectly normal in our stature. It's the rest of you who are giants with slow growing children! (Don't eat me!)

Not that I support adding child characters to the game but you could easily get away with it in the same way that Lalafell gets away with it - make it look like a child but call it an adult. Wouldn't work for mini versions of currently existing races, but would work for an entirely new race. Personally I chose Lalafell because I wanted to play as a smaller version of myself and I think the intent of most people playing child-like characters might not be so innocent, but if Lala can exist and not get any backlash (outside of the potato jokes) then honestly it's probably possible.

Aside from the obvious issue of perverts, another good reason not to add children to the game as a playable character, is that violence against children is considered extreme in quite a number of countries. I'm not sure, but I imagine China, for example, would forbid it.

I find it odd that your first opinion of Chloe is that she is some weird lala'qote hybrid and not a plain old child. (She is a child by the way, an able adult wouldn't be sending you out to write her stories and giving you colorful stickers)

Well, there are mentally ill people out there living as cats or toddlers so who knows.

edit
also I find it hilarious that the 3 manqo'tes that have posted on this page so far all have the same hair.
No offense.

Even with this Lala are still childlike to me and that's why I (and lots of players too) don't like them, with the fact that they're noisy little pests.

Yeah but if you compare Alphinaud to grown elezen ingame you can easily see why people would wonder.
Current adult elezen just look weird.

Dont agree with OP tho, its obvious its a little girl kitten.

Every interaction with her, depicts the character as a child, even the short cut scene.

It is the reason though and they're quite aware of that problem - I remember several comments in one of the artbooks being basically like "We tried really hard to not give lalafells any sexy clothes because thats inappropriate".
There are lots of weirdos out there (I'm female but played a male character for over two years to have my peace) and it would also limit their options about story telling - think about Haurchfaunt and Aymeric! By now Haurchfaunt is a bit of a weirdo - think about those scenes with him and the person hes talking to being 10 years old... think about Aymeric inviting a 10 year old girl for dinner in his private quarters...!

Children really shouldnt be an option in this game.

Also: Games with young, child-like hereos are almost always for a younger audience that you'll find here. Even if I'm still enjoying pokemon in my mid-twenties, this game is more made for kids (and they need a hero they can identify with). This totally isnt the case with FFXIV.

(and yes, some countries are having problem with violence against kids - I remember that they removed the children in one of the early fallout games for the german version. And there is also a reason that you normally dont have kids in Skyrim)

Just here to say, it's "children", not "childs".

Have a great happy new year, y'all.

there must be something really wrong with you, when you talk about a child like that.
i guess you are still a child yourself.
kids are best gift on earth.

Who talks like this?

It just cracks me up how everyone's mind immediately goes to dirty stuff the moment anyone asks for younger models. I mean, sure there ARE sick people out there, but should we really be determining what features are okay to have based on the minority of people who would misuse them? Tastes like censorship to me.

Have you ever heard the phrase "one bad apple spoils the bunch"? Because that's basically what this is. Yes, pedophiles are in the minority, but pedophilia is so reprehensible that most everyone does everything they can to avoid giving it any validation or avenue (as they should). So, to avoid even the possibility of validating pedophilia, children models should not be included.

This is also the reason why Lalafel tend to make people uncomfortable. From a human perspective, they have the bodies of children with the agency of adults. From our perspective, we can see no markers of sexual maturity--so when they start acting romantically with one another or towards one another, or as some have hinted, towards the Warrior of Light, it gets a little uncomfortable. In the universe, they are a distinct species, and are fully mature in their small stature, but that is abnormal for us as humans. Some people can get around that, some can't, and some shouldn't be allowed to.

Also, humans are (generally) sexual creatures--it's instinctual and hard-coded into (most of) us, and is no more abnormal than eating, sleeping, or pooping (in that it is a natural, biological function). Asking why people think about sex is like asking why people think about any of those things.

EDIT: That said, I would love if they added an age slider to character creation that ranged from college-aged (what most models now are) through middle aged, and into elderly. I'd love to make a badass old wizard, or a badass old warrior lady.

EDIT 2: I'd also like if they introduced the ability for cross-bred characters, though I realize the resources for that sort of thing would be quite intensive.

I really dislike that excuse to be honest. That's how Tera got away with the Elin race *shivers*. Thankfully they made it so Lalafells aren't an oversexualized child-like race at all in this game. They just look like cute potatoes.

There are always going to be people who cause problems with anything even vaguely juvenile, but in the end Lalafell are Gnomes, and that's just fine.

As far as new races go, I wouldn't mind Viera. Then again I've accepted the likelihood we'll ever get a race that is anything other than, "A human with <animal parts> slapped on," as incredibly unlikely.

But Hobbit, you are already playing as this games version of a Hobbit.
If you changed you wouldn't be a Hobbit. >w>

While I'm all for Viera/Viera-like-race, please don't start that here. You're going to cause another Viera War. >w>

I honestly couldn't come up with something else from the series off the top of my head. That and the Return to Ivalice stuff is convenient.
