Remember that Elezen physically mature later than other races, which probably puts them in a bit of an awkward position at that age in-universe as well. But on the other hand, people are going to be used to regarding Lalafells as fully mature adults too.
They might be ingame of age (but I wonder if 16 is adult in other city states too) but that does not change the problem for me that they still look like teenagers. I mean one could have an ingame culture that sees 14 year old or younger girls as adult enough to marry but I am quite sure that this would not make it less creepy for quite some of us.

In the end I have no problem with characters (no matter the gender or race) that have a crush on us but I wish they would tone it down with those that are so often with us (and that still look so young). 5.1 was the worst for me in that regard, especially since the german version was much more obvious with it. She is one of my favorite characters, but I did like her a bit more in stormblood.
