Roegadyn kids

SE has added children of every race except for the very unpopular Roegadyn Race.
Do you think Roegadyn Children exist? My friend gave me a theory that Roegadyn could look like Hyur when they are young and "Hulk out" at some point as they age.

Which would explain the Hyur like child and Roegadyn Father in the gold saucer.

I haven't done all the quests in stormblood but I did notice a large amount of Roegadyn in the new areas. Was this ever explained?

I don't recall seeing any Lalafell children...

Pretty sûre the roes are here cause, midlander + roes = highlanders
If I remember well, à for kids, sorry I'm Also intrigued I went with th galka way till proved wrong. ( how exciting it is for you 2 weeks toddler to kill gods, study multiple crafts buy lands pay taxes and such, because that's what kids should do, pay taxes.)

Wait for SE to give us a proper magnifying glass as a tool.

Yeah, I thought we were supposed to get roe kids in Stormblood.

We got some really freaking cute Auri babies, instead.

I'm starting to lean towards the theory that they just look like Hyuran kids.

There are a couple of Lalafell that are said to be children in both the MSQ and seasonal events, but they don't look any different from typical Lalafells.

I believe it was stated that they reach their full height at a young age and don't really change much after that.

I'm actually curious about Elezen children, because the A twins are supposedly 16, but they're less than half the height of the adult Elezen in the game. Are they going to have a massive growth spurt at some point?

there are galka kids in FF11. designing roe kids shouldnt be hard

Isn't the Anima quest giver kid who I forget the name of apparently 17 years old?

Ardashir ... and he's not an elezen he's a Hyur

There are a few Elezen children in the game, other than Alphinaud and Alisae. The brother sister in Ishgard (Jewled Crozier) that are deciding on whether to buy the what their mother's list says to or get some snacks, the kid the priest tosses of the top of the Vault, two of the orphans that hang out near the fountain in Idyllshire (Girl that stands with the pink garbed mi'qote child, and one of the two racers), and a few of the kids you can see in Gridania and in the Brume.

As for Lalafell children, a few are in game: If you start in U'dah, before you face your level 10 fight with the Golem, you'll be told to deliver four cookies to four oprhaned youths, two hyur, and two lalafell. Admittedly I have trouble thinking of any others that are close enough to be called children (lalafell in the Ixal quests is young, but not sure if young enough to be called a kid)...

It is actually stated somewhere (In the lorebook, maybe?), that the Elezen hit their growth spurt a few years later then Hyur do due to their longer average lifespan.

I know he's a Hyur, I was asking if he was supposedly 17 years old (yet still looks like a kid NPC).

he's most likely 17... and that can be quite normal... When I was 15 i looked like I was 10

hell even now a days I get told that I look younger than I actually am. I'm currently 36 and still get carded for cigarettes and what not... even with my grey hair. When I dye my hair it's even worse.

There's an untargetable lalafell NPC in Idyllshire that is 12 years old and he's already adult height, so we know that by that age they are already full height.

Perhaps we'll get to see Roe kids if we ever get to their homeland, or maybe they want to do 1 child race per expansion.

So it is! Thank you. Maybe if the game runs for long enough, we'll see Alphinaud and Alisae get tall.

While we're discussing kids, I liked the detail that when we see the Mol children together, the girls are taller than the boys. I've always assumed that Au Ra girls simply stop growing much earlier, and then the boys hit their growth spurt and end up huge. (Honestly, thinking about Au Ra biology makes my head hurt.)

Why does it make your head hurt, its mimicking human biology. The girls are maturing earlier and faster than the boys. The only difference... besides the glaring ones, lol, is that their sexual dismorphia is consistant, unlike humans

There's that Roe child in the Gold Saucer. Or at least a child standing next to a Roe.

Human women are somewhat shorter than human men on average. Au Ra men are literally twice the size of Au Ra women on average. It would be like me at 5'1" dating a Lalafell guy who maybe comes up to my waist, or an LotR elf getting involved with a hobbit.

I think you might of misinterpreted what i was trying to indicate. I was saying that like humans, the Au Ra females mature early and develop faster. Where as the males develop later and slower. And in my final statement I was just stating that their Sexual Dismorphia mimics humans since, the males are taller than the females. The main difference being that the Au Ra difference is a constant, while in humans it is not; seeing a tall female and a short male are not viewed as strange or rare.

It felt a little funny seeing that the Au Ra youths were the same height as me.

Though it is pretty normal for species with significant size differences in genders to remain around the same size as they age until the females near their adult size, at which point the males rapidly overtake them.

Yeah I noticed them as well, however they look exactly the same as Hyur kid. Its why my friend mentioned that some of the Hyur kids we see around might actually be Roegadyn Kids and Roe children just "Hulk out" when they reach a certain age or something.

Could very easily be the Roe's adopted son.

I made a question for the lore Panel at Pax, Hopefully Koji takes a look >_<

The preferred answer. It would be very boring if Roegadyn kids are just Hyur-like children in appearance (it'd also make FFXI have more things over FFXIV. Tarutaru children being half the size of Tarutaru adults, which is hilarious and Galka children).

Indeed there is. The child looks like the Hyur child model so it is hard to tell. I'm assuming that is also their model until they reach a certain age and get big burly muscles.

Q: There is a wierd fan theory that Roegadyn kids look like Hyur due to the Roegadyn father and the Hyur son found in the Gold Saucer. Are Roe and Hyur kids the same? What do Roegadyn kids look like?

A: Ok, there's actually a really sad story behind this. So, orphaned after this terrible accident involving a poisoned plate of Vongoli Goso and a Mamool Ja spy the kid was- ok that's for another time, were not gonna talk about that, but the Hyur child is not a son of the Roegadyn, it's an orphan son. So he's an adopted son.

I asked Oda-san about this. About why there aren't any Roegadyn children, because you have everything else. And finally he's like "Oh, Roegadyn are gonna come out". And then Stormblood's like, ah, Au Ra children. I mean, Roegadyn have been around a lot longer you'd think it'd be our turn, c'mon. And I asked Oda about this and he was just livid, he was like "I've been petitioning for 4 years to get Roegadyn children in the game why do the dev's hate Roegadyn so much. I love them." He played Galka in 11. He plays Roegadyn in 14 now, he has been lobbying for child Roegadyn since time eternal. And for some reason, every time the dev team is like "Ah, we'll do that one next. We'll do that one. Maybe someday." And I mean he is gonna keep lobbying and he is gonna finally some day we are gonna see a child Roegadyn.

He already has like the design ready, like "Alright I've already told the art team they're gonna be like super buff on top and have like really thin legs." So like little tiny Macho Man Randy Savages. "Oh yeeah. Baby Roegadyn." Ok maybe he didn't say that, but that's kinda what I heard when he told me.

So uh... at least we know for sure that Roegadyn children will most likely not be "Hyurs."

I'd had the thought already, but that quote makes me think even more - given that they're already playing around with body shapes via the "fat cat" Miqo'te (or Mystel, I guess we should be calling them), which I suspect might be achieved via unusually shaped "gear piece" models equipped on a normal NPC... what if they're looking at using the same technique to build Roegadyn children off the basic Hyuran child model?
