ALSO VIERA are an old race that lives long. Why wouldnt they have access to magical equipment as well.

My only point is using the the setting of where they come from to describe their physical appearance is silly.
If that were the case FEMALE Miqote would be much larger like female lions but they are not. THEY CUTE.

Xalea women are warriors of the steepe... but they are often cute.

IN ANIME and IN Final Fantasy your visual appearance dont really matter when it comes to physical prowess
I feel you’re not grasping my point.

1) you specifically mentioned a high ranking Flames officer performing heroics.

2) I am not saying that to wield a heavier weapon that a lalafell or any of the smaller females must have magic augmentation. After all, the weapons are adjusted to their size. What I am saying is that you cannot discount the role magical gear and materia plays with the heroes. These are used specifically to augment the wielder.

3) The divergent physical and mental evolution of the races is a fact and ties into traits they found advantageous and attractive in their environments. You cannot simply discount these because it’s fantasy - that is awfully poor writing, and SE have never done this. You are taking exceptions and trying to present them as violations of this point when there are better alternative explanations to hand.
