When can we make lalaqotes?

Ah, morality policing at its finest. If they aren't hurting anyone directly or indirectly, why not let people do what they want?

Because being associated with anything even closely to children pornographie or violating children isnt such a good thing for a buisness? What do you think would happen if people started posting pics and videos of clearly underaged characters in certain poses etc. (the male lalafell dead-emote was a real surprise to me - I can only explain it as terrible oversight)? So, people WOULD harm someone - SE - directly if they were allowed to play children.
Imagine the whole Haurchefaunt stuff with a child - or the flirtation with Aymeric (no one is going to convince me its something else!). Bäm! Just turned two heros into pedophiles!

And beside the whole sexual thing: a lot of countries tend to have a problem with violence against children aswell - and even when there is no blood in this game, it might be troubling for some of those to have a child as maincharacter, getting hurt and commit acts of violence.
As silly as that sounds as first glance: There is a reason you cant hurt children in most games. Funfact even: In the german version of one of the first Fallout games the children got simply removed because you could kill them and that would have proven to be a problem. Dont know where you're from, but germany is taking this stuff serious and I'm pretty sure SE would like to keep their 12 label.

And beside all the arguments to specifically NOT to introduce children as playable characters: It would require remodelling and we all know how motivated SE is to revisit the character creation and give us more options that arent hairstyles.

So, sorry, if you want to play child... go play Pokemon. Maybe you can get cat-ears as headwear by now?

I don't see any reason to sexualize a lalaqote.

Give it Lalafell ears and a Miqo'te tail. Or it is just a little Miqo'te and not a bit Lalafell. And little Miqo'tes are forbidden to left the starter city for adventures.

I kind of wish they'd explore interspecies relationships in-game a bit more then they do.

The only thing that's really known is that children born being from mixed couples is a big taboo, but marriage between them is evidently not considered an issue. They must have some secret form of birth control in play for there to not be more half-breeds then there are, considering how much some of Eorzea's inhabitants get around.

Outside Elezen and Hyurs all other races are not compatible, even if they try nothing happens.

Except that isn't what people mean when they say they want a Lalaqote. It may be what you would want, but most are looking for essentially what would result in a child Miqote, yet they want to use the excuse that "she's not a child, she's just short/underdeveloped because she's half Lalafell".

This.

Elezen and Hyur were mildly acceptable because of half-elves. But Roe or Miquote or Lalafell and any other race just doesn't work.

Aren't Highlander the result of Hyurs and Roegadyns? Or is this just a rumor? ^^

Rumor. That's never been stated by any official source.

Heh...

All in good fun...
Edit: Guys, i think they are just using an in game joke. At least i hope...

[Averax]

For the love of all things good in this world, no. It will only be okay if they're lalafells with miqo'te ears/tail glued on.

All official sources say that Highlanders are just more muscular Hyurs from the highlands, and even then it's not even 100% true all the time. Some highlander NPCs use the midlander model, and vice versa.
