Playable kids in FFXIV

[Spratchet]

Idk when Lala's don't have their clothes on and you see their proportions they kinda look like babies not "dwarves" as some people are putting it.

The problem here is that you're comparing them to fantasy dwarves and not real people of that size. When people say they are "dwarves" they mean they're short. That's all.

Dunno if true or not, can't find much on it.

Might as well try to ask, as I'm curious.

it's "kid", not "kids".

haha???.... i think the op wants to play as teenagers like sora and riku from kingdom hearts. no one actually wants to play as a 5 year old. our only option for young guys are the cats. The rest are old rough and ready to retire

The sea voyage between Eorzea and Hingashi is stated to last about 3 months (but I don't have the quote on that at the moment, sorry) yet we do the same trip both ways several times during 4.0 alone, even if the WoL can canonically teleport, but the other characters can not. But, as stated before, we're in a time bubble or Comic Book Time where it's always "now" even if there are quests that tell you "Go to bed and then talk to me tomorrow" or "Take some time while I do x" or "It's been weeks since we heard from X," mostly because a new player can breeze through the MSQ in a few days if they rush and have friends to help with the queues.

Also, I believe this was just a joke post, no need to read too much into it.

Teleport and Return do exist in-story, as they are occasionally referenced. Iceheart uses Teleport in the cut scene after Snowcloak, Thancred is stated to no longer be able to use either spell after his possession by Lahabrea, and Yugiri mentions that only a small fraction of the Doman troops can teleport to reinforce the Alliance at the Ghimlyt Dark and the rest will have to travel by sea. The implication is that not everyone has enough personal aether reserves to use them safely, but they do exist.

Err, should've been more specific: only the WoL can travel such long distances repeatedly. Alphinaud mentions that repairing the aetheryte at the House of the Fierce is really only for people with large amounts of Anima (the teleport resource in 1.0) like the WoL. While other characters can indeed teleport, they can't do it as many times as the WoL is implied to. (Also, Thancred can't teleport anymore because of his time in the aetherial sea after Y'Shtola's Flow spell, not after Lahabrea)

Yeah going to need a source on this 6 month claim. To think that we overthrew the Archbishop then ended the Dragon Song War and afterwards watched Ishgard reform its government while they brokered peace with said dragons. Afterwards, liberated 2 countries on opposite sides of the world, not to mention the Enclave being rebuilt from a heap of rubble. There's also that small bit of MSQ where the Sultana is working to get Ala Mhigo economically back on it's feet starting with the salt fields. If all that happened in six months Eorzea's calendars have a lot of missing days in the Character Creator lol.

Thats actually stated in lore books and in the lore part of the forum here. It's actually well known that ARR is taken within a time bubble. Hell there are interviews with Koji that explain just that. Yes.. ALL of the events we did up to 5.0 have only taken 6 months. Think of it like a nonstop action adventure. Just because we the player have large amounts of luls and years behind thegame doesn't reflect actual incanon time. Just like comic books plots can have world crashes one issue and in the same day on a different issue have monsters ripping thur time space.

"Six months" and "in a time bubble" are conflicting claims, not both facts.

If it's six months, time has passed.

If it's a time bubble (which it is), there's no need to insist on a heavily condensed timeline to fit it all in, because we have infinite time in which to do that.

I have the first lorebook and, while I can't claim to have read every word, it's written from an in-world perspective so it isn't going to see the time bubble, and the detailed plot synopsis avoids giving any hard dates as far as I can see.

"It's true because it was claimed somewhere in this large, hard-to-review amount of information" isn't solid enough to prove that something actually is true.
