The developer comment re: Lalafells was an aside in reference to how certain people, roleplayers included, choose to play Lalafells as substitutes for character models of children. "Their heads are too big to use them as kids," essentially.I, for one, choose to interpret the "please look forward to future development" on a question about whether or not we will be able to choose such a character as a new race in the future as "this is in the cards", and the Lalafell comment was just too far out of left field to not be relevant to the character.
I don't see "Lalafell-Miqo'te hybrid" anywhere in that dev comment.
Plus, she's in Idyllshire unaccompanied by a guardian (look at the place! That is no place for children!) wearing a robe for DoM and has noticeably Lalafell-shaped eyes.
The kid in Mor Dhona, on the other hand, is wearing typical peasant clothing and actually has her mother present in-game (and also has unusual eyes and fangs that lead me to believe she may be a Keeper-Seeker hybrid):
Edit: And don't forget this poll showing a huge interest for playable hybrids (with it being the most wanted option in Japan and second highest everywhere else): http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/46936
