Quote:Babies in Eorzea:
The physical act in Eorzea causes the aether of two beings to combine and make ripples in the global stream which are then sensed by the Primal Stork who forms new life out of digested souls and delivers a baby to the couple the following night.
The aetheric ripples are read by the Primal Stork like sheet music, and they determine the gender, physical attributes, and mentality of the child. The parents can vary the ripples in specific patterns by changing speeds, positions, sounds, etc. Be ware, though, for if the mating dance is interrupted you might wind up with half a baby.
