Children?

[TinyRedLeaf]

It would be a cool idea (one that's already being developed in greater detail by an upcoming MMORPG), as long as the children are not playable characters, I guess. Even then, I suspect there might be legal/ethical/rating reasons why child characters can't be implemented in a game like this, where players habitually dress up in skimpy costumes and engage in ERP.

And, in before anyone jumps in about how child pornography shouldn't apply to pixels, well, all I can say is that while such a thing may not be an issue for whichever country you play in, it may well be a very serious issue in other jurisdictions where FFXIV is sold. So, yes, it could be a legal minefield that any responsible developer would want to navigate carefully. I wouldn't be surprised, therefore, that Square-Enix would rather not want to go there in the first place.
