when the game first started, and through the original worlds to dragonspyre, we were supposed to be kids. Little kids. And we saved the world. Great.
The game has changed a lot since level 50 was the highest level you could reach.
And the clothes that our characters can wear now, as well as the makeup females can choose, is anything BUT little kid stuff.
Yet here we are, level 100, still short and looking like we're supposed to be little kids.
As we level, our charcters should "age" and get taller, become more adult in our entire appearnce. Males should get beard and mustach options. Females should get various adult hair and make up options.
We start the game as the same height as Merle as well as the majority of the Wizard City guards, only marginally smaller. Our size is comparable to many of the humanoids in the game (Olyphants in Zafaria, dogs in Marleybone, and Celestians, for example). Sure, the cows in MooShu, the Draconians, and the Gorillas are bigger than us... but shouldn't they be? Especially with mounts and hats, our characters often feel just as large if not larger than the enemies we face.
Adding cosmetic options to facial hair and "adult makeup" (weird phrase) that are level locked is a really strange way to think of time in the game- as we can see in the second arc, Merle was already old before he even founded Ravenwood, which is obviously implied to be a fairly long-standing institution (reified by the Catacombs). We know "centuries" occurred between Morganthe's original war on Celestia and her return in the second arc- long enough to have the rest of the Spiral give up on finding survivors, but we also know that Qyburn Stellargaze is still alive from before he left Celestia. Time passes strangely in the Spiral, especially while world-hopping, and we really have no idea how much time has passed between our arrival in Ravenwood and Lemuria.
TL;DR time is weird in the Spiral, and adding puberty options are weird. Also, I'm fairly certain someone tromping around the Spiral isn't going to take time in the morning to put on "adult makeup" (still a weird phrase).
That'd be a neat feature. I remember Mabinogi had a feature where you would age and grow stronger over time, with I think each week was 1 year. It was quite something and would be cool if a similar aspect was in wiz.
