Hmmmmm...

Then you have to explain why their chocobos are so tiny (and I don't think "they're ALSO more dense!" is really an acceptable answer).
I prefer an explanation that doesn't require a complete restructuring of my entire understanding of the game universe's physics. Aether's much simpler in that regard.
Edit: Think of it like this. Throwing in aether is more of an X+1. Much easier to understand. "Lalafells are more dense!", on the other hand, is like completely restructuring the very fundamentals of mathematics and science to produce a more equitable end result. It's too much work for something so, erm, little.

We make up our own canon, of course, but the official byline is that every PC is one of Hydaelyn's Chosen. Yes, this can be kind of nonsensical given how the story is told (i.e. with your PC as the center of it all), but it is what it is.
