    Ishgard is purely a matter of status. The population is predominantly Elezen, and they are pretty much the ruling body of the region. That's a matter of status. Nobody wants to have children with a filthy hyur. Thankfully, we are just guests in that place. That place sucks, anyways. So, the Ishgard argument is pretty irrelevant. The lore states that mixed breeding does in fact happen elsewhere, but of course, it's not as common as remaining within the confines of one's own race. It was never said in lore to be difficult to have children of mixed heritage. The only limiting factor is the social stigma, which is much, much lighter elsewhere than it is in Ishgard.

    1 mixed race NPC out of hundreds indicates they are incredibly rare. Also, you don't really know whether there are other complications in having a mixed child, that would significantly reduce the chances of a successful pregnancy. Personally, I agree with Graeham and think it is a rather superfluous idea. There are much better things SE can focus on customisation-wise.

    Or should they begin throwing in half lalafell, half au ra, half roegadyn, half miqo'te and all permutations thereof? Why stop at half-elves? After all, we know that hyur and miqo'te can mix.
