Won't Somebody Please Think of the Children?!

[Mrfox0707]

It has come to my attention that the Eorzea has a huge lack of children. And it's kinda weird...

The entire realm over we only see small groups of child NPCs.
The small group of kids playing behind the Carpenter's Guild in Gridania.
As well as the few children refuges from Doma living at camp Revenant's Toll...

BUT! The biggest mystery?! Out of the five races...There are only Hyur and Elezen children..
I have never seen a Lalafell, Roegadyn, or Miqo'te child NPC anywhere in Eorzea.
Have I just missed them? Or do the rest of us just walk out of the void as adults?!

They've already answered all this in the lore panel during the Last Vegas fan festival.

So yeah, somebody did think of the children. You just didn't check the lore questions before making this thread.

Cool...Thanks for your somewhat rude answer.. I'm sorry I don't recall those panel questions being posted? If you would like to post a link and be helpful instead of rude that would be swell.

They’ve archived the video footage on Twitch which you can still see if you pay $20 to access their premium stream. Aside from that (and assuming you don't want to spend money), you'll have to Google Heavensward info and find it that way. I can't remember what I typed into the search box to find the answer, but it's out there

There are children everywhere. You can see them shouting in Mor Dhona.

Just go into DF or PF.

Maybe Hunts?

Your thread started with a general accuse sound ("nobody is thinking of this!?"), so I guess I was rubbed the wrong way by your tone in the first place. I'm sorry for returning the treatment.

Anyways, no need to pay for the twitch video. It should be all here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvdirJehCnA

I haven't rewatched this since the festival so I don't know at what point they bring up children in the first place. But if you don't feel like watching it all, the answer is here:


Other races children might appear in the incoming expansion.

For now, they're all hidden behind those "No Entry" doors you can find everywhere in Eorzea.

IIRC they did the same thing in FFXI too where the only children shown were hume and elf.

I always just assumed they were too uncreative to design a child mithra/taru/etc.

[Nestama]

Remembering incorrectly, Sekhmet. All five races in FFXI have children littered all over the place (of course I mean in cities and some towns).

Mithra


Galka (Gumbah is a very important Galka)


Tarutaru (art because I guess people tagged Tarutaru as children or something in Google Image search)

I can already hear some White Mages wishing they could have a hood/hat like that.
