>silver wolf describing him as a "little guy with a pacifier", jade's art of him with the others in game and the trailer showing off his design
Doesn't matter, they can easily change him into an adult and say/reveal that this is his real form.
We already saw Cyrene being a hebe, having a model and all, but they changed her anyway.

>no need to make a new model when they can just alter the existing loli model or just use the loli model and give it short hair
Still more effort than just using the already available models.
>why waste time making an adult model when the design is already there for a kid version?
What design? There's only a silhouette of him in your image while pic related is absolutely generic and is easily replaceable.
Not to mention that young guy or older man model has a wider appeal than a shota model.
