    So, going off the likely line of thinking that Lalafells grow to full-size comparatively early next to other races...

    Imagine the suffering being a popoto-bachelour (or even just another race with a thing for Lalas). Is that guy or girl you want to hit on of-age? Are they 20, or 10? No way of knowing!
    There should be a full cultural analysis of this phenomenon. Like, is there some way that their culture has adapted to distinguish? Particular styles of dress between age groups? Make-up? Minutely noticeable details in facial structure, posture or body language?

    You could write a whole new Lorebook on this stuff.

    So? FFXI had Tarutaru children and they were tiny! You could even get food that would 'costume' you into looking like a Tarutaru child (as well as Galka, Hume and Elvaan. To be a Mithra kitten, you needed a wand).

    No way of knowing? Now wait, being close to full height only affects that, what about ear shape/size? Or the eyes? There could be many subtle physical indicators of age that members of other races are essentially unaware of.

    that lalafell child was the smallest height possible for a lalafell. since almost everyone puts the height slider for their lalafell at the whole minimum at character creation that child will logically be the same height as you.

    and that means: you all are actual playing a lalafell child o.o/

    if you want to play adult lalafell: put the height slider higher.
