Speaking of Lalafells.... Children please??

[Yrusama]

I think at least for Roegadyn the lack of children was due to a lack of women to bear them. Most of them were still on their home continent (in the northern seas, iirc.) The same goes for Manqo'te.

As for Lalafell not aging physically... are we to assume all Eorzean races are mammals and give live birth? How does one Lalafell fit inside another Lalafell during pregnancy if they're the same size? Maybe they do a full-body split, like single-cell organisms.

Edit: Saw someone above had the same idea about Mitosis. Punainen's idea of shedding the parent is funny, too, but that goes in line with the Galka process of reincarnation in XI. It would be too difficult to increase in numbers if one dies every time another is born.

Maybe they grow from baby to adult-size within 24hours?
