YoshiP said it depends on us. He also mentioned something at a previous fan fest

I want a new small race that has a bit more to it than cuteness. Something to help contrast the stereotype of lalafells. We have no other short race. In the game, and as a real life short person, I’d love something that feels a bit more dignifying than just infantile dolls.

I mentioned this in another thread somewhere, but I had been casually jogging down ideas for a 'what if I made a Final Fantasy MMO' concept for no real reason other than for my own enjoyment. One of the races I'd go with to represent the "small and cute(ish)" archetype was going to be based on the elves from Radiata Stories called "Pixx."

Here's an image for reference. Dark elves are on the left, light elves are on the right. Males above and females below:

Basically, they'd be not as short as Lalafell or Tarutaru, but maybe around 3-4 feet tall or so, and would have a bit of a cyberpunk element to them. The reason for that was I imagined this theoretical Final Fantasy MMO would have different worlds based on the different elemental crystals, and each world would represent some of the different styles of Final Fantasy worlds we've seen, with the world of the Wind Crystal being inspired by FFXIII's future chic aesthetic, and Pixx would be most populated in this world.
