Are they half-elezen? One would expect that they would grow up at their age if you compare their height to those of playable elezen.

Are they half-elezen? One would expect that they would grow up at their age if you compare their height to those of playable elezen.
They are 16 years old, thus not fully grown.

17 years old in the First
They will grow as they age. Due to the long lifespan of Elezen they grow more slowly compared to the other races. I believe its stated that once an Elezen is 20 they should be at their max height.
I can't figure out how to edit my own posts on mobile but wanted to add that they could just be really short for Elezen lmao
If I recall it's also stated somewhere that Elezen age a touch slower than other races, and live like ten years longer? I don't have access to my lorebook to verify the age slower part, though I do know it states they're /slightly/ longer lived in the opening blurb, but that and the time bubble are part of the reason why they still look to be in their mid teens.
I took that to mean that the "world" is in a time bubble - as in they aren't updating the game world to reflect the actual time that's passed. Not that no time has passed at all. As in, it's a gameplay thing and not a lore thing.
It just doesn't make sense to me that everything in two expansions worth of content somehow took up less than a year, especially with the massive amount of travel time we've spent roaming about. Unless Eorzean years are like multiple Earth years long maybe?? I don't expect them to really say anything concrete on it though.
So yeah, who knows, maybe they just age slowly or maybe the devs just didn't want to make a new model and they're still teenagers so is it really that inaccurate?
They'll start growing soon, don't worry. Right when the MSQ ends and we get the epilouge!
Rielle from the DRK quests too, she's right around the age to start growing according to herself in the 80 DRK story. So right when the game ends
Elezen live about 20% longer than most of the other races, and as such age about 20% slower as well. In theory even at 20 years old they'd still look about 16 or so.
