  1. You do understand Minions in FFXIV are dolls and after images created to replicate real things? There is a whole main story quest surrounding how they are made. Some are mechanical while some are living. Using your logic, the Fafnir minion, which is the same height as the Bean minion, is replicating Fafnir which is mythologically said to be 20 meters tall.

  2. ffxiv cross overs are inherently non cannon to the ffxiv universe.

    This was prevalent information during the Neir 24-man cross over being non cannon to ffxiv, but cannon to Neir.

  3. You are operating under an incorrect and deliberate misconception. When you create your character you are given the equivalent real world height in inches. What you are doing is trying to get lore from Fall Guys and inject it into FFXIV — that is not how colabs work. The lore with XIV's collab is adjusted to fit the narrative of XIV instead of having XIV adapt to the collab's lore. A max height lalafell is approximately 38.2inches, a max height elezen male is approximately 82.6inches — Whatever the official fall guys lore says has no bearing in the collab — what matters is how the lore is handled in XIV, not outside XIV.

  4. FF14 will (hopefully) us fall guys game strategy in most of their dungeons, raids and ultimate. FF14 would be able fundamentally discontinue their circle bosses.

  5. The concept is great, but I'm gonna have to agree with @omegaschatterbox8366 on this one. Taking into comparison the measurements we are given in the game for character creation and the lorebooks themselves, the measurements are the same as irl measurements with just a touch of wiggle room for the sake of suspension of disbelief; what with some of the various insanely varied body shapes and sizes across the races. An example in the first Encyclopedia Eorzea for measurements is 1 ilm. It is described in the book as the size of an average adult Hyuran thumb, or a ripe rolanberry. Said rolanberry being quite literally just a funny in-game name for a strawberry.

    Also it's been more or less confirmed that the developers just used the US Metric system instead of Imperial for the English game client, but as someone on Reddit pointed out (their account is deleted), quote: "In the Japanese client it actually uses meters for the ability distances instead of yalms, the exact distance changes based on region. I think they did that on purpose to reflect the archaic measurement systems where a foot was literally described as "the length of the king's foot". Like they have ilm as the "the width of an Elezen thumb" and yalm is "the height of an adult Lalafell". But yeah the ilm/yalm/malm system is based on the imperial measurement system for the English client." End Quote.

    Also who's to say the little minion following you around isn't just a child, or the race became horribly shrunken during their random arrival in Eorzea? Nothing to confirm or deny that they are still 6 feet tall or so in Eorzea. Also even in the lorebook it's stated that the Admiral of Limsa got so pissed with the lack of consistancy in measurements that they cut off some bloke's thumb for using the inconsistant measurments to rip someone off financially, so that severed thumb became the standard unit of measurement.

    But I'm gonna stop sounding like a total Lore police now 😛 Still a good video though!

  6. I've heard that full grown tall male Lalafell is an ilm or something like that. And I do recall when setting the character height in character creation, they are in centimeters. I think we have a good guess is to how much is an ilm from there.
