So, why isn't this a thing yet?

[Shiro-Koizumi]

Maybe SE will cave in like they did for Male miqote and the other genders being added...We just have to keep at it for 9+ years XD (Personally I think that helped the game a lot )

But lets ask ourselves this: Would adding playable kids really hurt the game much? (Or at least teenagers, so the Tumblr SJW's won't throw a tizzy)

and If so, how and why?

I think a better question would be whether or not the pros outweigh the cons.

Cons: SE is inevitably hurled into a blazing firestorm of controversy for allowing children to be maimed, mauled, and sexualized.

Pros: Some people get to play as a child, for whatever reason.

Seems pretty obvious.

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.

I think SE would be fine, 1.0's failure of a launch couldn't kill them I don't think a bunch of pissed off moms and dads will either XD.

I still think teenagers around Alphinaud's age is a perfect middle ground. Everyone wins that way.

Also kid's aren't these precious angels that need protecting and shielding all the time, Most kids nowadays are rotten little punks who swear worse than a drunken sailor hooked on crystal meth.

But what does SE get out of suffering through all the bad press? What does introducing this playable child race do for them? They get nothing positive out of it.

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

Teenagers or at least Alphinauds body type then? I haven't heard anyone really complain about him other then him being a bossy punk XD

Just seems like a good middle ground. No backlash and It'd be an optional thing to fantasia to.

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.
