Lalafell exist as the token 'small race'.

Miqo'te are also fairly short - and although this is a Japanese game it is no secret that Square Enix put a lot of focus on appealing to Western demographics. In this game's case, the bulk of subscriptions happen to come from Europe and America.

There also comes a point where it ends up being dubious for the sliders to go beyond what is already available. A song and dance that has played out many times throughout this thread, of course, but ultimately we end up coming back to the same question.

Just where should the development team draw the line? You can only push boundaries so much before it becomes inappropriate in the eyes of many. You can already make a very short, feminine/androgynous looking male character. Most of those pushing for such aesthetics already do as much.

So where is the line drawn? Because if you push any further then it really does just end up making a character resemble a child even if that isn't the intention.
