It would be a fair assumption many were sent out of the city proper to cover the misdeeds of certain persons.
    Sure, there could be more halfbreeds out there. I am not saying that’s not possible.

    Its rare as is.

    Also real world crossbreeds? What are you talking about? The different “races” of eorzea is more like different species, with some interbreeding possible. I am aware theres tigers and lions being interbred but that’s not natural nor common.

    Lalafells are like toddlers. Big bulky people who breed with toddlers are not ok. Lalafells in lore might be “able” but just by going with real life morals it is not something that should be in a video game.
    People who suffer from dwarfism still retain proper adult proportions to a certain degree.
    Lalafells are shaped like toddlers.

    I rest my case.

    I shall not argue this further as no good will come of it.

    I fully agree. Despite me playing one, i am against the ability for lalafells to equip the more raunchy equipment. This might sound weird, but i dont like toddlers in lingerie. When comparing them to their spiritual ancestors, the Taru Taru, (note: I Have never touched FFXI. Dont accuse me of nostalgia) they do appear more like real children as opposed to small orange plops. Using google as an expample, when searching "taru taru" in google pictures there will just be pictures of the race stumbling about. Comparing that to lalafell, where if you google "Lalafell" you will start seeing more sexualized pictures of them, clad in underwear, drawn, etc. I dont know if it is a generational thing, but i dont like it one bit.

    It seems like Squeenix themselves would beg to differ here, since Lalafell are pretty sexualized in-game as it is. They may not wear skimpy clothing (Because they'd just look like a popoto in a bikini anyway) but Lala NPCs are some of the dirtiest you'll find in the game. Almost every single one you meet is either evil, horny, or evil and horny, and they certainly don't restrict their attentions to members of their own race, as Gegeruju's army of dancing girls of every race can clearly attest.

    They've put a lot of effort into reminding everyone that Lalafell ARE NOT CHILDREN.

    Sigh, i know this will end badly yet i continue.

    Mentally, they are adults. They act like adults. Speak like adults. But none of them, as presented by SE, is sexualized in a manner where you are meant to find them the appealing part. They are all obsessing over some miqo'te or hyur.

    Designwise, are you going to tell me they dont have a child like appearance?
    They are quite obviously designed with a cute child in mind. If not for the large round head then for the plumb body with stumpy legs and arms.

    Not to mention that their animations are rather toddler-ish
    As far as I've noticed, the only Prominent Lalafells to be in a position of leadership are Nanamo and Papashaun, and the latter actually earned his place while Nanamo is leader by birth, aside from them and the wealthy merchants, Lalafell are not taken seriously in both story and within the playerbase
    (I could be wrong, I don't exactly pay a whole lot of attention to Lalafell)
