    One, Lalafells aren't children. Nanamo herself is probably in her 30s. They are not human, they from another planet.

    Two, toddlers are less than children??? WTF is that supposed to mean? You think toddlers are inferior to children some how? Do you even know what a child is?

    Nanamo is 21, and her naivite is played up earlier in the story to reflect her youthfulness.

    Lolorito, however, is 64, and is probably the best example in the game for an elderly Lalafell.

    In age (the obvious intended meaning there)? Yes. Language tends to the default to the most specific practical/common descriptor.

    At both age 2 and 12, "child" is an appropriate descriptor, but when the child moves from an age where both are accurate to where only "child" is... then they've clearly matured to the 3+ range of "child". And while "child" still technically applies to a teen, as they're not yet an "adult" (threshold(s) subject to local sociocultural constructs), to call someone a "child" where "teen" would otherwise be as accurate, is an insult.


    Alphinaud, for instance, starts the game looking like a teen. Does he look more or less matured, not knowing what one later would about Lalafells, than the average cleanshaven Lala?

    Heck, do the latters' proportions, at least from human expectations, tend to look the older than even the children (between "toddlers" and "teens") seen in this game?


    Personally, I don't find Lalas all that weird looking, since they're far enough past the uncanny valley for me not to ascribe any meaning to their proportions, but let's not jump on other posters (even a TitanClan persona) because you exempted a very obvious piece of meaning...

    sorry but your friend is just experiencing what we in the community call SKILL ISSUE.

    The game director had said himself in an interview that every Lalafell npc is not a child and Lalafells are not children, and in fact they are consenting grown adults. Maybe your friend should play something more... His speed... Like Roblox?
