Well the point being that even if there's lore reasons, it doesn't really matter what happens in the lore. Alphinaud looks like a kid, that's what's gonna matter to people looking on the outside of this game or just in general.

Like let's say they let you play as Alphinaud in the world and people had did certain types of roleplaying, he'd still have the appearance of a child regardless of whichever age he potentially was. It'd still be weird.

Though that said, FFXI let you transform into monsters and kids and this wasn't a issue so they might be over worrying.
