Tuning in because I just remembered of another clear case in which culture makes cross-clan breeding a rare and frowned upon thing.
According to the Elezen naming conventions, no elezen last name will be found to be shared between both clans. This is a great sign of the disdain and general scorn that flows between the two clans (and that they give themselves names such as "Gray" and "Green" is a pretty obvious one too). If a Duskwight and a Wilwood were to mate, the last name of one of the parents would be passed down to the offspring, which in either case would be seen in the wrong because of its mixed heritage, thus unable to receive either last name and still claim to belong to its "right clan" (since it'd be of both and none of the clans at the same time).
Personally I RP both my Elezen being very aware of the differences between the two clans, and try to keep away from characters of the opposed clan (with my female Duskwight being certainly the more aggressive about it, since my male Wildwood is more kind-hearted. He however still keeps a general defensive behavior when a Duskwight is nearby.).
As for the new Keeper lore coming from the Moogle mail quests... well, waaay to go SE. Destroyed my whole one-year old plot with information that should've come much much sooner. I think I'll stick to my own point of view because I don't feel like retconning one year worth of story. Time to put a huge disclaimer on Jet'a and Kujh'a's wikis!

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
"What makes a strong character is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, their turmoils, their troubles that get in the way. That's what makes them relatable." -- N.C.
