NPCs like Severian (Alchemy Guild Master) have confirmed that inter-racial couples are a thing, but no children to my knowledge. I'd imagine things like Hyur/Elezen or Hyur/Miqo'te would happen from time to time, but I'm not super confident on my FF14 lore yet. I mean, my experience mostly comes from Warcraft where you can't walk 5 feet without bumping into a half-elf/human, and that's a game where races routinely commit genocide against one another. Surely a society as tolerant as Eorzea has to have some of that going on?Â

TL;DR: Lominsan sailor fancies himself a cat girl, she gets knocked up. Am I ruining everything?

I can't remember if it was a live letter or something from E3 but I remember very specifically it being stated that the races of Eorzea were all the same species. They are different races. Like Asians, Blacks, Whites, etc.

This being the case, it would be completely feesable for there to be inter-mixed children. HOWEVER (you knew it was coming)

In my humble opinion, something as extreme as an Elezen/Lala hybrid needs some in game chops behind it first before I would roleplay it as a PC. We don't even know what it would look like.

Hyur/Elezen, Hyur/Miqo, all seem fairly easy to pass visually but anything more extreme is a little immersion breaking for me simply because there is no visual or lore precedent for it. I would advise against until Squeenix gives us a little more to work with.

Question for people more lore-knowledgeable than I
