So, why isn't this a thing yet?

Here's what I think SE should do:
-Add more facial features like larger eyes, rounder jawlines, bigger ears for Miqo'te, smaller horns for Au'Ra, etc., so players can have a more youthful/baby-faced look without being actual children. More character customization is always a plus and I'm surprise SE hasn't add more facial features since launch.
-Add a more youthful looking race. Heal showed a good example with that Viera concept art. So long as they don't get a hyper-sexualized and/or deformed as the Elin in Tera Online...Because that's creepy.

I don't know about you guys, but I found Elins adorable in TERA.

Especially with how cute some of the armors were, specifically the Armored maid outfit they got (tier 14 Stately/Regal set to be exact)

Damn I was waiting to get out of work to reply to this thread. but awww so cute <3 I hope they include male miqote kid later on.

I think we should have the option to play as young characters if we want. A nice alternative would be giving characters a teen body option similar to Alphinauds.

I'm also okay with the cute Viera options also..

I don't mind their cuteness but they get a lot of fanservice, fetish-like, and stripperific clothing for a race that is suppose to look like children.
I mean the original Korean version has them running around in g-strings.
You essentially have to pay real money to NOT be over sexualized.

The game is rated M.

The game is Korean.

Also; They're akin to forest spirits than little girls. ('-' )

I think this would be a good middle ground. Add some younger and older looking facial features and the options for slightly more youthful and older "builds". Not necessarily children, or elderly, but a little younger and older than what we have.

I would also probably change my race to that Viera-esque race if they ever implemented it. Those are really cute and classy looking.

More age variety among PCs and NPCs would be really cool to see, I think.

You folks have Auri women and Lalafell, why do you want children/young teens so badly whenever you can already play races that look just like them?

I don't necessarily agree with the "You can't have children in violent situations" argument.. As the Shonen genre is based upon younger/teen characters generally doing a lot of action orientated things. The actual issue chances are people are going to get creepy with child characters and it's going to attract a very bad sort of crowd, the same sort of crowd that's kinda caused a lot of awful stuff to come out of the anime industry and influences the devs of TERA make a lot of outfits for the Elin. By the way, everyone talking about how folks in fantasies with pseudo-medieval times themes (And actual medieval time periods) married young girls aren't helping the whole "Let's add them, only creeps and weirdos would sexualize them!" deal >.>

We don't want to play another game! We love XIV! We just want something cuter than a miquote and has more appeal than a potato!

This sound like a female Au Ra ^^
