I think it's an inevitable part of any setting with equally-human-minded races in a range of body shapes that someone is going to fall in love with a person who isn't 'physically compatible' with them. I don't see anything wrong with that, and I don't think it has to lead straight to the "how is that physically going to work?" question, because they might not even be wanting to do so.


It could also explain the general lack of mixed races. Zhai'a Nelhah and Lalai could end up a couple, but that doesn't mean we're getting half-Miqo'te-half-Lalafell kids out of it.

The few mixed-race characters we know are all from close-to-human races - Hyur, Elezen, Garlean and, according to legend, Au Ra. (Possibly one instance of male Hyur/female Roegadyn, as there's a Hellsguard in the Peaks who mentions that his grandfather's name was Byron. Could be adopted, though.)
to add to this mix race children do happen but they are stupidly rare to happen, Hilda in HW is the only mixed race npc we have come across, we were also told of a legend of a hyur/au ra child being born with almost no scales in Sui no Sato. Could any race combination have a child yes chances of happening near 0
