Lalafells with Deep Voices

[TheTen]

It's about as out of place as being able to jump the same height as an Elezen, or bash someone's face in with the same force of a Roegadyn.

In other words, if you judge by real standards, yeah, sure, weird, but Eorzea is not real life.

When I'm waiting on que in Mor Dhona, I like to pass the time by finding random Lalafells and /poking them. Occasionally, when one of them turns around with a /surprise emote, I hear not a Lalafell, but instead a very masculine Highlander, and I'm all like "....what the hell was that?"

I asked someone in my FC who used to have a Lalafell with a deep voice as to why he chose it. His response in short was:

"I don't like squeaky voices, Lalafells aren't children."

My response:

"They aren't children but they should sound how they look."

I want to elaborate on this. Lalafells are very small, so they have smaller lungs, smaller mouths, and smaller wind pipes, therefore they should make a high-pitched sound. Allow me to use a couple of examples:

Dogs
Think about dogs of all sizes. Do little, ankle-biting poodles or chihuahuas make a bark anywhere near as deep as the barks of a labrador or a great dane? Nope. Are poodles and chihuahuas eternally puppies? Nope. Neither are lalafells.

Musical Instruments
Now think about someone about to blow into a small, little harmonica. Then a deep ass tuba sound comes out of it. Yeah, that's exactly how ridiculous deep-voiced lalafells are.

I want everyone's opinions on this though.

So you're upset that the voice of lalafell males sometimes isn't realistic... in a fantasy game, with fantasy in it's title, where people can conjure up fireballs, dragons and unicorns exist, and a giant sentient crystal has chosen you to be her champion... because those are all sooo realistic

Yoshi-P is no taller than my fiancee' and he has a deep voice, how dare such a short man have a booming voice!?

Chibi people with deep voices?! What the?!... I have yet to find that and shock...

I'm divided with OP opinion and the others because I think all of them are right, and one thing is sure, just like happened with 'fang shui' topic... Some people would be sad if their deep voices would change, so SE won't change it.
