Sex between the Races Lore?

[MikkoAkure]

Explain why we literally have “evolution” mentioned in the Dunesfolk Lala creation screen then (i.e, “Perhaps the most unique characteristic of the Dunesfolk is their luminous eyes - a result of a glossy, protective layer which covers the pupil, an evolutionary response to their homeland's glaring sunlight”). :V

Just because Zodiark put new lifeforms in doesn’t mean he made them that way. It’s perfectly plausible since he and Ascians are in a completely separate dimension that he just tossed in the “base materials” so to speak and fast-forwarded to where everything is already going. They just didn’t turn out like the Ascians wanted.

Because that as well as many other things were written in 1.0 before anything regarding the current story was made or thought up. It’s part of why I wish they deleted the game at the end of 1.0 and started fresh without baggage or retcons.

For example, dunesfolk were said to be from a desert island to the south where they evolved their special eyes and settled Thanalan because it’s like their old home. Yet post-calamity now we know that before Ul’dah, they came from Mchach, which was never a desert. Elezen were supposed to be the only natives to Eorzea, which caused strife pre-Gelmorra but now we know that hyur and the other races have been in Eorzea for a long while before the current era.

But on the other hand, duskwights somehow got their blue skin and white hair after only living in caves for a few hundred years so it could be that small changes like that happen fast on Hydaelyn.
