    It should be pretty obvious why SE doesnt allow us to make children-characters... There are people out there who'd do nasty things with those and I'm pretty sure SE doesnt want to see that in their game (for pretty good reasons). Lalafells are already a stretch and they're rather careful not to sexualize them to much

    This is exactly the reasoning Yoshi-P gave when asked.

    He said Lalas don't count because they're a "Dwarf-like Race".

    ...Have you never spoken to a single Lalafell NPC or something? So, so many of them are sexualized somehow.

    Best examples off the top of my head are the male Lala in Drybone having a sexy dream about Raubahn, and the one in Costa trying to charm a Miqo'te into bed by telling her how he's got 55 years of experience with women...

    Source? I'm not at home to look it up, but I'm pretty sure we've been told precisely the opposite of that in the lore forum? I might be misremembering, but I could swear the official line was that crossbreads were perfectly possible, but rare.

    Eorzea probably does have decently advanced birth control, anyway; with three kinds of magic-based healers running around, there's gotta be a spell for that, if not several.

    Uh.....Hilda is a hyur/elezen hybrid.

    http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Hilda_the_Mongrel

    That aside, interspecies relationships are HEAVILY looked down upon in Eorzea.

    Well, there is that nice gay couple living with the Tonberrys. Miq and Roe or Hyur...I can't remember. Maybe that's why they're living with the Tonberrys.

    They left their home village because they were in a mixed-species relationship. They stayed with the Tonberries because the Tonberries patched them back up after stabbing them like, just a BUNCH at the start of the dungeon once we cleared Wanderer's Palace the first time.

    I was meaning besides Half-Elezen (believing Elezen and Hyur the only ones able to create mixed race individuals), i truly wish they were a third option to Elezen in game as a playable race (Hyur frame, Elezen movement/ emotes, scalable ears, ect...).

    I read it from an old post but turn out I was wrong: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...l=1#post490835

    But that's old (1.0 lore), so perhaps was change, I don't know. I will keep looking and edit this post anyway.

    I'd like to know this as well. Given the race poll they gave out before 2.0 came out listed hybrid races as one of the options, it seems to me this hasn't been explicitly stated one way or the other in lore.

    Their lack of presence in game is the same reason we never saw a half Elezen till Hilda or a Mi'qitten till the one in Mor'dona. It's not important enough until the need arises to show them. Until they are ready, the model isn't in game so there is nothing to sprinkle them around with.



    As for people worrying about adding childlike races to the game. Please, stop projecting. ERPer's exist and will always exist and nothing you, me, or anyone does is going to stop them from their ERPing. They are a very small fraction of the community and as such design decisions should not be made around them.

    Look I'll be frank. Being 100% unrepentantly judgemental here, ERPer's are fricking weird, their ERP is full of cringe, and I wouldn't mind at all if they all suddenly vanished. However, they are not hard to ignore/block and their actions don't actually hurt anyone. So why bend over backwards to mildly inconvenience them?
