Miqo Kittens!!

See I like the Kid hero trope too...there has been tons of tv shows and games with kid heroes, and no one ever found them weird at all XD

That's because the plot is made around the child hero. In FFXIV, it's made around characters either reaching adulthood (around 18?) or are adults themselves (Hildibrand quests are the only place where it would make sense to be a child hero).

I'm curious as to why a Miqo'te child appearing in the game opens up threads wanting to play as a child, whereas Hyur and Elezen children never did...
