Is it possible to be a crossbreed?

Hey so just a quick question my friend wondered. Is it possible to be a crossbreed like the Au'ra Fox in yanxia for Roleplay purposes?

She's not a crossbreed.

Being the vessel of a legendary fox spirit apparently just gives you fox ears (Which you can buy if you collect enough stones from the Outfoxed and Foxy Lady FATEs).

Alphinaud looks like they cross bred an elf and a gnome.

Hilda is half-Elezen half-Hyur, so, yes.

The fox Au Ra, however, is just possessed, iirc.

The lore in Sui-no-sato mentions a half Au'ra, half Hyur hybrid that apparently had hardly any scales.

I saw Priscilla running around the Limsa.

It's because the Limsa is a peaceful place, its inhabitants kind.

That makes me wonder, is everyone around me wearing those ears possessed by a fox spirit? Are they now foxy ladies and foxy men? I say we meet upon the fields of battle, poke each other until a fox spirit comes out.

The fox ears you can get are literally a hairband.

That's even worse! If fighting Susano and Kojin has taught me anything is that a Kami rest in all things, you are literally wearing a spirit on your head! That so many would fall to this elaborate ploy of fluffy top ears, this must be the work of an enemy sta... I mean ascian.

In short: there is no in-game model reflection for being any kind of multi-racial character, no.

We know, in lore, that at least Hyur-Elezen and now Hyur-Ra are possible; it seems likely that Hyur-Miqo'te should also be possible (given the relative compatibility of body sizes) but it's never been addressed directly. Hyur-Roegadyn should also be somewhat possible, though it's unaddressed and this is a case where there may be a question of birth weight and in-utero development. Compatibility of any other Spoken with Lalafells is, unsurprisingly, left completely unaddressed. So if you want to say that your character is a half-Elezen like Hilda and you just note to compatriots that ear options for your game model are limited, you'd still be perfectly within the bounds of the lore.

(It's also relatively safe to assume that the various examples of Hyur compatibility above are also compatible with each other for the same reason.)

Anything more "exotic" than this, however? No. There is, currently, no lore basis for it, and if you are trying to RP in the bounds of the established XIV lore, there's no example for it.

Ferne has long since confirmed the races can inter-breed, without giving any restrictions to boot. How the offspring looks however is a different topic altogether.

Gosetsu is half Roe and half hyur.

No he's not. He did confuse many people at first, with his Roegadyn frame and Hyur-like nose/face. But (I can't pull up the quote right now) the staff actually did clarify that he is a) an Othard Roegadyn (closer to Hellsguard than Sea Wolf), and b) an important NPC who as such was afforded unique modelling.

I may be wrong but isn't Arenvald, the Scion-Adventurer, a Half-Roe, Half-Midlander? He stated in the MSQ that he is a mixed race, when he met Conrad, but I don't recall if he said which two.

he's the result of a (probably non-consensual?) union between a Hyuran mother and Garlean father. He brings it up when meeting Conrad because.. well it's awkward, considering his heritage and the opinions that resistance members might have about that.

I have a Lala friend who wears the Cait Sith ears and insists he's just a very short Mi'qote.

This is fine.

Basically, pretend whatever you want!

RP wise? You're whatever the heck you want to be.

in model wise? You're limited to the six races.
