I, on the other hand, want to see a Miqo'te/Lalafell hybrid as that would be the perfect race for my purposes.
Lalafell are too short and rotund and Miqo'te are too... average, so that mix hits all of my buttons (but only if they finally add a freakin' muscle slider dammit).
For reference, this is what I imagine a Lala/Miqo hybrid to look like:
It's kind of like dogs. The cross-breeds are actually some of the most interesting animals you'll ever see:
Hmmmm, the Corgi is really like the Lalafell of the dog world, isn't it? Heh. Hehe.
Anyway, the issue of birth complications is kind of a silly one to assume until we actually have knowledge of how the hell Lalafell birth their own children. And don't forget things like conjury and arcanima exist in this world. Birthing deaths and infant mortality is likely lower than it was in the real world during an equivalent period of our history (late 1700s/early 1800s).
Also, before I forget, the Lalafell, Miqo'te, Hyur, Elezen, Roegadyn and even Au Ra are all the same species, all considered under the banner of the "Races of Man". There's no reason to assume fantasy 'one side is always dominant' rules apply here. That kind of kills the whole appeal of it anyway. How could you even tell if someone is a halfbreed if they always look (mostly) the same as normal members?
