A question about lalafells in ARR

[Kinseykinz]

I hope lala's get boobs... maybe it'll finally end this 'but they are children nonsense'. (Again, we are NOT chidren, but rather a highly intelligent, slow-aging race) Real life 'little people' women have boobies, and no one thinks that is strange. I know this is hard for some of you but you CAN have boobies and not immediately look sexy. Lala's with a full chest would look more like a cartoon-hobbit or something of the sort I imagine.

But you can have boobies and immediately look creepy !!! o_o;

I know the Lalafell aren't supposed to be children, but the fact to the matter is they have purposely been made to look like infants, and still long after FFXIV:ARR is no more, everyone will regard them as such, creepy Lala-boobs or not.

This is your personal opinion.

For example:To many others, Miqo'te Girls and Hume Female Midlanders look like jailbait as well, but no one whines about that and they ARE allowed to have a skimpy clothes and 'augmentations'. They even have flirty and suggestive emotes. Even the males of these races are teenage looking. The only races that look more mature (for both sexes) are Highlander Humes, and Roegadyns...maybe some Elezen (but again you can make a young, short Elezen).

Yes, it is absolutely true that lala's tend to have the 'cute' expressions, and that ALL characters in this game were drawn with a more 'cutsy' ideal (even the tougher characters have some cute charactistics). But again, cute does not=young...it simply is more a 'non-sexy' class. Boobs don't automatically= sexiness and to be very frank, as a girl I'm disgusted by men who think that the only thing that can possibly define my sexual desirable-ness is my 'boobs' and their size.

The fact is this is the Final Fantasy franchise and a Japanese developed game. Almost ALL their characters have looked young. Even in most console versions, the average age for the characters is about 21 with one main character being 'old' (Think Auron). This is the Anime culture...youth is big.

And just to be clear, to me your avatar looks about 14... in my head, his voice hasn't even matured yet...but if you decided you wanted a 'large package' and a full beard, I wouldn't limit your choices.

Woah :O where did this come from? o_O

I'm not trying to limit anyone's choices. By all means, if they would want to add that option, let them. Certainly not going to petition against it or anything. As you said, it's just my personal opinion. In particular because of the stereotyping (or whatever we may call it) in anime. The so called "norm" and the abundance of young characters is exactly why people don't even pay that much attention to other youthful looking female characters, whereas a female character of a childlike physique with boobs would stand out, to me at least.

Trust me, no issue finding the flattest of the flat chested girls appealing if their character is alluring (actually goes for both genders).

I find it funny how, lately, several people have commented on my avatar, when I myself after 2 years still have no connection to that forum picture. It's like 2 completely different characters to me, forum VS ingame, and I hated my forum pic from day one on the forums :/

My opinion still stands that they'd look weird, but in reality my attitude is what do I care /shrug
Was just voicing an opinion >.<

There's simply the matter of physical build.
I just can't picture it...looking right.

[Altena]

Just give them a "booty" size adjustment.

I found this it's Princess Sara from FFIII and I think that the body type matches closely to the lalafells so it isn't impossible to do or to make it look good. I just don't know if this is something they will be doing with FFXIV:ARR imho this doesn't look creepy. Either way I'm not sure if they would do a booty size but it would be interesting and something definitely worth waiting to see.

Hahaha... So you want to see Lalafells with boobs? Male Lalafells would be happy.

Its okay to be Pedo toward animation. Everyone knows that.
