Square Enix itself did everything possible to demonstrate that Ala'Mhigo is a racially diverse state with Miqo'te, Roegadyn, Lalafells, and maybe even Elezen. Not just as token minorities either, but as significant portions of the population. Yet we still have this idea persisting among the community that Ala'Mhigans are exclusively Highlanders. So now I'm wondering, if Ishgard opens up and we find a bunch of lalafells inside, are people just going to pretend they don't exist? I don't think it's likely to happen, but I think you get my point.
They certainly did not do everything possible. The demographics of Little Ala Mhigo NPCs of being entirely Highlander (with an elderly Midlander here or there) with a Hellsguard couple does not tell me it is a racially diverse state, but has that usual "majority with select minority". Random smatterings of NPCs from 1.0 might say one thing, but Little Ala Mhigo being predominantly Highlander says something else entirely.
