What are some advantages to being a short race in RPGs?

Smaller target (whether that means higher dodge chance or literally smaller hitboxes) fit in tight quarters, usually the carry weight doesn't drop lonesrly with chracter weight so you can carry provisions that last longer, and often comes with ranged weapon/throwing proficiency.

Why are short races the best choice in games where you have that option?

Are large physical differences being reflected in gameplay an interesting way to make content novel?
What are some advantages short races have in video games? Would having disadvantages in those same games be fair?

by all accounts armor and weapons for a small race should be cheaper/easier to get because of proportionality

in FFXIV's case their animations are hilarious and they ruin cutscenes but in a good way

For me, it's a trivial reason. I just like how they feel faster when moving. All races move at the same speed, but being so small creates the illusion of moving faster. While there is absolutely no actual difference, being big makes me feel so fucking slow, and I hate it.

Everything is huge, you feel like running faster

I hope you'll all behave and post correctly this time so the Knights of Yoshida don't have to spam report the thread to protect his reputation.
