    The thing is, SE has stated in the lore of the race that lalafell don't seem to physically age appearance wise - I refer to the main FFXIV website here:

    So there you have it - the lalafell are meant to look like children even when they're adults and hence do not show physical signs of aging (by the same token, I presume miqo'te don't seem to physically age either as far as appearance goes, as there are no 'elderly' miqo'te ever seen, only young adults.).

    To listen to suffer to entrust until tomorrow
    In one fleeting moment, from the land doth life flow
    Yet in one fleeting moment for the new leaf doth grow"

    Lalafell are hatched out of eggs, like dwarves (I'm sure I saw that on TV, though it might have been Alien...).

    Maybe they are small as baby, but grow after some days to the standard Lalafell size?

    Elderly Miqo'te? Can you envision a Miqo'te (male or female) with fine lines and wrinkles? Just me trying to imagine it gives me frightening images in my head. XD

    But, if SE were to add them, they'd probably make them look well off enough somehow.

    In my fanfiction children do appear. I explain it that Lalafells, being smaller, reach adult size faster, but remain children mentally and the only way you can tell that they are children is the fact that they're carrying around child things like puk wings around their necks and giggling and playing hopscotch and going to school.

    That is because Miqo'te are immortal, and never really die.

    Do you mean to tell me Lalafell are BORN adult size? Do newbown lalafell just shed their parent like a cicada? I assume that bit of lore applies to the inability to tell if the Lalafell is 18 or 75. Not a CHILD vs. an adult.
