Why are lalafel never cast as hero?

I want a new Robel Akbel in FF14 he was the pimpest Taru in FF11 ..yes even more than Shanttoto

Tarutaru/lalafell actually are the true heroes of the game, as seen here:

I don't think lalafel should be the *main* hero, but having one as a more prominent good or bad guy or would be awesome. And of course i think they should also be Melee. Evil or good, doesn't matter.

i'd just like some lalafel that i'll see often in the story that can shoot,slash,poke or punch someone to death.

the movie was fine, as it was basically the same adventurers from the first Opening video, just all lv 50 jobs, which lacked both DRGs and MNKs.

You know what? Watching the "End of an era" trailer, it strikes me that diminutive races like tarutaru and lalafel are never cast as main hero (or villain).

Hint: you don't have to have huge bloody weapon causing tens of k's worth of damage to be a hero.

Well in my experiences unlike taru in ff11 lalafell don't have much of a distinc personality other then being either goofy or serious about fishing.

Wasn't there also that evil flying taru with a scythe as one of the crystal warriors in XI? 0_o

Sorry if someone else mentioned didn't read all of the posts.

Honestly, I think the only reason that Taru's/Lala's are never the main protagonists is because every other character would be outside the camera's view.

Example: If a lalafell was the protagonist in the end of an era trailer, we would only see said lalafell and everbody's lower legs with the occasional corpse

SE, stop putting Lalafel only in stereotype roles like black mage or white mage or as comical side-relief. Give them a bigger role!

You named most the roles they fit best though. I can't take a short Lalafell warrior seriously if I saw it on that battlefield, but if I saw one as a black mage (or any job related to magic that isn't white mage) I'd crap my pants. And short people are funny in general, natures comical relief. To me, these are their lead roles in their own way.
