Au Ra children height questions

[Iscah]

Thank you for your replies! So we can just assume they somehow are like normal humans only that the boys just start growing extremely fast about when they reach puberty? It must be stressful for them having to get new clothes like every other month or so. ;D

Maybe that's why the "traditional" Auri men's clothing (ie. starter gear) has a midriff-baring shirt and three-quarter pants....

Hmmm, somehow weird that Francel is only 22 but already that tall. I would have thought that Elezen would still be much smaller at 22 because Emmanellain seems more like an almost-adult-teenager at 26.

The exact quote from the lorebook (p83): "It is not uncommon for Wildwood children to look up to their Hyuran friends in their early teens, only to rapidly outstrip them around the age of twenty." (it's in the section specifically about Wildwoods which I assume is why they've written that instead of 'Elezen', but it probably applies to other clans as well.)

So, possibly starting to grow taller sometime before that point, but not guaranteed.

And I think Emmanellain is just really immature, so he seems younger than he is. (Though he's getting better by the end of Dragonsong.) And he's got the young-looking face which adds to that.

I'd put together a list of the Garland Tools character data for all the High House members I could find (and a few 'maybes'), so you can flick through that and see the different height settings they've used for the characters. 50-75 is common. All the Haillenarte siblings (but not their father) are height 100, and so are the two definite members of House Dzemael. At the other end is Jannequinard de Durendaire, who is height zero and... an uncertain age, but definitely over thirty, so full height.

(Let me know if that link doesn't work, by the way. I haven't tried sharing a list from that site before.)

I thought that too. The only Xaela clothing that got introduced in Stormblood was the Bardam's Mettle gear (which shares its design with the crafting/gathering lvl 65 gear). Everything else is just things that already existed like somehow tribal-looking PVP gear, recolored dungeon gear and so on. I thought it was also kind of weird that a lot of Xaela just wear the same coat just in "their" tribe color. It seems so extremely lazy. Their starter gear seems to be made more for Xaela than Raen, but still none of them wear similar clothes, not even parts of it.

I had a look around the different tribes last night (and also grabbed the chance to *finally* do the Dataqi Chronicles FATE chain). There's a lot of Thavnairian gear pieces and the Lv68 crafted gearsets, and even the ramie ponchos. Plus the Shisui gear that the Buduga tribe wear, which at least does come from an Au Ra palace, come to think of it...

I don't mind having multiple tribes in the "Nomad" gearsets since that's based on Mongolian cultural dress in the first place. Different colours seem like a 'game-design-friendly' version of each tribe having its own variation on the design.

On the other hand what does bug me is that the Mol tribe wear red, but Cirina has pink instead.

Hahaha, now I can totally imagine how they get their new clothes at some age and have to wear them until they are fully grown and the clothes are way too short and tattered by then.

The exact quote from the lorebook (p83): "It is not uncommon for Wildwood children to look up to their Hyuran friends in their early teens, only to rapidly outstrip them around the age of twenty." (it's in the section specifically about Wildwoods which I assume is why they've written that instead of 'Elezen', but it probably applies to other clans as well.)

Ah, that's interesting to know (unfortunately I don't have the lorebook... it's way too expensive here and you can't buy it anywhere anyway). So they actually grow extremely fast in like 4 years or so? So when they are about 17-18 they probably have to begin buying new clothes every few weeks for the next years.

Somehow the list you made doesn't work. I never shared lists from there until now too, but the ones I made usually work for me if I save them. Weird. But I would have thought that when an Elezen reaches about height 0 (which is over 190 cm) they would be considered about fully grown anyway or at least almost fully grown, because as children they are much, much smaller. So while you can probably play a Miqo'te or Hyur that is suppossed to be like 15-16 years old, you can't play an Elezen who is not an adult yet.

Yes, but only one single gearset that was made specifically for them, if you don't count the starter gear that no one wears.

I thought that it doesn't look enough like their cultural clothing. Similar in some ways, but still somehow distinctively different. I would have liked more variations that look more like a deel. While my characters' tribe left the Steppe some hundred(?) years ago, they probably would still want to dress traditionally for festivals. And there is only the nomad gearset for that. I wanted to make traditional festive outfits for them, but there's not much to choose from.

On the other hand what does bug me is that the Mol tribe wear red, but Cirina has pink instead.

Exactly! And Magnai doesn't wear yellow like every other Oronir. I think it's to make them stand out so that the player knows that they are important characters. But then Sadu wears the Dotharli clothing like others of her tribe.
