    In short: there is no in-game model reflection for being any kind of multi-racial character, no.

    We know, in lore, that at least Hyur-Elezen and now Hyur-Ra are possible; it seems likely that Hyur-Miqo'te should also be possible (given the relative compatibility of body sizes) but it's never been addressed directly. Hyur-Roegadyn should also be somewhat possible, though it's unaddressed and this is a case where there may be a question of birth weight and in-utero development. Compatibility of any other Spoken with Lalafells is, unsurprisingly, left completely unaddressed. So if you want to say that your character is a half-Elezen like Hilda and you just note to compatriots that ear options for your game model are limited, you'd still be perfectly within the bounds of the lore.

    (It's also relatively safe to assume that the various examples of Hyur compatibility above are also compatible with each other for the same reason.)

    Anything more "exotic" than this, however? No. There is, currently, no lore basis for it, and if you are trying to RP in the bounds of the established XIV lore, there's no example for it.

    Ferne has long since confirmed the races can inter-breed, without giving any restrictions to boot. How the offspring looks however is a different topic altogether.

    No he's not. He did confuse many people at first, with his Roegadyn frame and Hyur-like nose/face. But (I can't pull up the quote right now) the staff actually did clarify that he is a) an Othard Roegadyn (closer to Hellsguard than Sea Wolf), and b) an important NPC who as such was afforded unique modelling.

    I may be wrong but isn't Arenvald, the Scion-Adventurer, a Half-Roe, Half-Midlander? He stated in the MSQ that he is a mixed race, when he met Conrad, but I don't recall if he said which two.

    he's the result of a (probably non-consensual?) union between a Hyuran mother and Garlean father. He brings it up when meeting Conrad because.. well it's awkward, considering his heritage and the opinions that resistance members might have about that.

    I have a Lala friend who wears the Cait Sith ears and insists he's just a very short Mi'qote.

    This is fine.

    Basically, pretend whatever you want!

    RP wise? You're whatever the heck you want to be.

    in model wise? You're limited to the six races.
