Well... actually, that's sort of a good point. Â The characters, almost universally (except the Roegadyn) are ALREADY lithe and skinny. Â And the faces, unless you intentionally choose one that looks older or slap a beard on it, already look like they're fifteen.
I mean, I had to go out of my way to make Ignacius look grown-up-but-not-middle-aged. Â FFXIV and, if nobody minds me being a little stereotypical, Japanese games in general make the characters look exceptionally young and lean. Â Your other option is... well.... Roegadyn. Â You'd think there'd be a middle-ground.
Honestly, you could just shrink your character, go unmuscled, pick a young face and eyes, and look like a twelve year old. Â No female model required.
I guess it kind of feels like you'd be going out of your way to use the female model. Â Males in this game already look a little fae and effeminate as a matter of course. Â It isn't like in WoW where you have a choice for men between running back and defensive linesman.
