Only Lalafells may enter this area

Yes yes very funny SE. Can I humbly request that we skip this feature for the next few expansions? We barely get any interiors in the overworld as is.

Or instead of taking away a fun feature for some players just add more regular interiors for everyone else.

Ideally both. But it won't surprise me if there is a resource/budget limit for these things.
Maybe SE could add a crouching status instead for non Lalafells.

I thought this was about the Dwarf homes on the First and then got very confused when seeing the actual screenshot.

It does make me wonder if Square-Enix is savvy about "no Lalafell allowed" social spaces, so them making "Lalafell only allowed" spots is their way of poking fun at that, lol.

I'm sure the devs were ready for some bitterness from races that aren't lalafells trying to enter their spaces. It's all by design.

At least make the doors so small that a max height Roe can't reasonably enter by ducking.

I wouldn't doubt that since the Lalafell discrimination (that's a strong word but it's all I got to describe it) really isn't a thing in the casual JP community or at least is anything like the English speaking one.

Also, there really isn't much in these buildings for other races to really feel like they're missing out. It's just a silly easter egg for our only short race.

Yoshi-P mains a Lalafell Black Mage. It's fine, you're not actually missing out.

You sound jealous

I can understand feeling a little bad when the game has consistently stopped giving us nice interiors like we had everywhere in ARR—expansion maps have been such a downgrade on everything overall and we have yet to catch onto the level building quality of ARR from 12 years ago...

And when they finally decide to add back some of those, only to discover that they're barred to all race choices but lala? I think it's definitely a design choice of poor taste, no matter how you'd like to ad hominem the OP for it...
