So, why isn't this a thing yet?

[Kurogaea]

In my opinion though, this character looks too young to be doing anything especially since, unlike lalafells, children are not strong or capable for combat.

I'd like to know exactly what makes the build of a lalafell differ from that of a childs and how it would effect them in a world where monsters shoot red cones that flash where they are gonna attack you, you can't die but seem to faint whenever some meter over our head depletes that either requests you to respawn somewhere or await someone to cast a spell to revive you, some sort of number showing how powerful you are in some strange magical menu, and weapons and armor that seem to change size depending on the person or race. If your talking about morality of children in this game, well just look at Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, and Kingdom Hearts, and Legend of Zelda, and Ape Escape, shall I continue?

There have been some downright disgusting posts.

Pray tell your thoughts on Rydia and Relmn who are like 8 and 6?
You against that too?
I'm honestly curious how people are up in arms when they literally have had children in plenty of FF games.
Relm is the youngest female playable character in the FF series.

Edit: Correction: Rydia is the youngest, she was 7 in the beginning of FF4.
Relm was 10.
CORRECTION AGAIN: Polom and Parom are 5.

Rydia grows up, and the last time I checked neither of them as children have the possibility of removing all their clothes or equipping them with something offensive.

Let's not add to the sexualisation of children.. I mean, Lalafells wearing skimpy clothing is really pushing it and the levels of uncomfortable people feel should be a sign that adding children into the game so creeps can mess around with them is probably not the best idea.

She was still a child and Relm doesn't grow up.
Hope is like 14? I'm just saying it's not rare for a kid to be in games like this.
The fix for the children thing is alter they undressed clothing so it doesn't look gross.
Other gear would need to modified. I think they won't do it because there would be too much alterations for the children 'race'.
All I want is a race that ACTUALLY isn't a human look alike...again you're dealing with too much alterations.
If people really want kid races, they need to make them like teenagers. Elin was cute to me, but people were absolutely sickening about them.
I don't wanna see that here too so...I'm more concerned on how people treat the kids than the fighting aspect.

Aren't Palom & Porum like... 5?

I corrected it.
But as Shiro and I said, Teenagers such as Alp and his twin would be the best choice.
Or the Twin WHM's.
So if we do see kids, expect them to be around 16 in physical stature.
Hell, even that CNJ leader dude is around his height and he's like a billion years old lol.

And you can't complain about teenagers in combat. Alphinauds gotten his ass tossed about a couple times in the story, even for a book mage he can hold his own.

[DarkStar]

I dunno about children as playable characters, but if we ever get legit personal housing, I could see being able to hire children from various races to take care of things like managing your garden when you're gone or something.

And he's also an NPC. There's a difference between PC and NPC.

This.

People don't realize that children being IN games isn't a problem. It's making them playable that is. You can't dress Rydia or Alphie up in slutty clothes and start roleplaying them as sex workers. Something that WOULD happen if children became playable.
