Hold up a 2yr olds fist.
Even if the 2yr old can punch with the same force and velocity that you can, it can only hit a relatively small portion of your face. Hit the baby in the face and you hit their skull, nose, eyes, chin, not to mention crush their forehead.
So even pound for pound, force for force, velocity for velocity, on equal terms, with equal power, the larger will win.
Another example if you will. Pretend there is a paper wall in front of you. Pick up a small mortar brick and throw it through the paper wall. Now do the same with a standard cement block. Which did the most damage?
And again, I understand that this is all based on a real life system, and FFXIV is a fantasy game, I'm not disputing that. I'm just saying that realistically, it's impossible if everything is even-stevens.
Assuming a lalafell fist and a highlander first both come at my face, I think I'd take the highlander one though.
Pressure = Force / Area. That lala fist is gonna hurt way more.
Because at that same force, a Highlander's bigger hand is going to give less pressure than a Lalafell's?
The classic debate was always an elephant stop vs a woman in high heels. Assuming a constant/equal force, it still has to be exerted on an area. With a small area to exert that force on, a Lalafell's hand is gonna do -that area- much more damage because it doesn't need to be spread out.
Perhaps I know nothing about fighting, but I also can't see how a single punch of a fist could get the jaw, eyes, and nose.
