So, why isn't this a thing yet?

[Zyrusticae]

And a lot of people have voiced against the idea, and forcing them to have to play in a world they're not comfortable with because the opinions of a few is just as bad.

To put it bluntly, those people are their own problem.

Take a moment to think about the absurdity of peoples' minds going into the gutter as soon as a playable childlike race appears, even when they're treated exactly the same as every other race in-universe. Whose fault is it that their minds are going into the gutter? Certainly not the design of the race, nor Square Enix.

Let's not forget that people can already be dirty and creepy with the existing palette of races. Case in point. If you hardly ever see people being dirty with scantily-clad catgirls being available, what in the world convinces you that there would be such a large number of new, dirtier-minded players just because of the addition of a race that fills the niche between Miqo'te and Lalafell?

It's not Square Enix's job to coddle people because a few players like to do things that make others uncomfortable. They can sell to whoever is willing to pay money to play their game, and if that means catering to underserved niches, then that's what they're going to do. Period.

I was making a point of the character's appearance, which isn't established in this game.

Two words:

Bravely Default.
