    I haven't read Feren's post about interbreeding but from what I recall about genetics while going through school, I remember hearing something along the lines of recessive and dominate genes, such as Brown Eyes vs Blue Eyes and one being more dominate than the other results in one appears more often than the other in offspring between two parents. Obviously I have no proof since this was something I had learned over 10-15 years ago in a classroom mind you, and I'm too lazy to look it up online atm. However if this is true, might be it holds true for interbreeding in Eorzea as well? Not sure exactly how it'd work though with 5 different races being physically built quite differently. May even be that over the course of time, the new offspring begin mating with 1 or 2 specific races, Unei and Doga may be the result after a few generations after Xande only mating with more Hyurs, having the two of them ending up being Hyur, at least in appearance, and after them at some point, the royal family started mating with Miqo'tes more often, and over the course of time, diluting the royal bloodline until it gets to G'raha Tia and he appears as a Miqo'te with only 1 Allagan Eye, indicating dilution of the royal bloodline. Speculation and sounds a bit crazy even to me, but its the idea that popped into my head.

    True. I suppose the entire storyline is centered around the PC being the "special snowflake" so it fits.

    This is common in all MMO's I believe. Thought I think heterochronic eyes are a rare thing in MMOs

    Speaking of which. there IS one NPC with heterochonea. G'raham Tia (Who is already part of the topic subject). And he is a special case.

    You know, Morningstar, I never thought about that. I can't think of another MMO that allows for odd eyes in the character creation process. Certainly not WoW, Rift, Terra, nor SWTOR.

The facial structure is much more rounded than that of a sun seeker. With no pronounced cheek or chin which with eliminates roe, highlander and elzeen as options.
    I am going to assume you mean G'Raha here. Looking at him, there is nothing about him that isn't a part of the standard miqo'te character creation. The face, the tail, the heterochromia. It's all pretty normal for a Sunseeker. The only thing that's weird about him is this "Allagan eye" of his.
