Inter-species Procreation.


Recommended Posts

Hey all, long time no see. Zaia coming back with a genuine curiosity about this subject. 

 

Through all these forums posts ive read on google and such, i am curious.. Can other races procreate with one another? Like say.. Au Ra and Miqo'te? if so, would they have minor traits like eye color or hair color? or something a bit more?

 

I've been heavily searching but it seem's all i am running across is debates and such, could some one clarify this? if so, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks! Zaia Tesli.

We do have evidence that Midlanders and Elezen can produce offspring.

 

 

We also know that Garleans can have children with other races (even if perhaps only Hyur). As for other races? I assume the same applies, but given the rules of biology and the fact that we don't see many in game that we know of, it's probably rare.

As far as I am aware, there are no set restrictions on cross breeding.

 

Something to note though:

 

In Eorzea, interracial couples and VERY looked down upon. They are usually hated, or treated like garbage by the populace. Half-breeds would be even more so, religated to being second class citizens in most societies.

What's the basis for this, though? The only evidence I ever see people cite for this is that singular quest, which is pretty ambiguous, and I haven't run across any other lore supporting that any hatred for interracial couples is that strong/common.

There was a developer response to this at some point in which it was specifically stated that it is possible. That said, given how uncommon it appears to be within the non-PC game world (in other words, by a demographic statistic of NPCs representing the population proportions of the world), I would say with absolute certainty (and a tiny amount of snark) that anyone who wants to RP as a half-breed character should probably consider whether or not this detail will actually affect the character of their character in any non-superficial way, because in all likelihood most of the time all it will be is a pointless "look at what a special snowflake I am guys" detail and will be completely and utterly meaningless beyond trying to get attention.

I don't think it ever comes up outside of that one quest, which is why people go straight to that one when they need to cite that. I'm sure it varies based on location, not unlike real life. Those two from the quest mention being from some village that no one has ever heard of. Ishgard I am sure looks down on interracial relationships. Gridania too, maybe. Ul'dah and Limsa I feel would care less about it. Limsa even has a couple of hooker NPC trying to pick up customers of different races and there is even a Roegadyn male being mugged by a hyur and her friend after he presumably tried to pick them up at the bar.

 

As for viability of interracial children, they are possible. Rare, but possible with a high possibility of mutations, if I remember correctly.

 

I would honestly just urge roleplayers to stay away from it even if they decide to go with one of the combinations supported by in game appearance. 80% of the time it adds nothing to your character outside of giving them an abnormal appearance. You could achieve the same results as a normal looking character. I am not saying that everyone that roleplays a mixed race character did it for bad reasons. I am just saying that 80% of them have.

To my distinct knowledge, this is indeed possible, though I'd think that there would be standard complications based on biology. A Roegadyn child growing in a smaller race would likely lead to complications provided that Roe children are larger themselves. I'm not sure exactly, as we're not privy to that information. I would assume a Lalafell is incapable of carrying anything but a Lalafell child, though a Midlander might be possible, but don't quote me on that. Still wrapping my head around just how that would work. Au Ra may seem reptilian, but if they're anything like Miqo'te, who are basically just humans with cat ears and tails who evolved into such a form, it's likely they can crossbreed as well. As far as I'm aware they give live birth, though I have no natural comprehension of what a crossbreed would look like or what traits it would have.

 

given how uncommon it appears to be within the non-PC game world (in other words, by a demographic statistic of NPCs representing the population proportions of the world)

 

The thing there is, those are the NPCs we can see that are static in one place. And as large as the continents are, the NPCs we have are only a tiny fraction of the population proportions of the world. I understand that this is mostly due to space and programming constraints, mind. Too many NPCs in one place would be a mess, but I always assume that there are a lot more people walking around in capital cities than we can visibly see, because well. Capital cities are huge. I would also think it would be a little more common around Ul'dah or Limsa with its mercenary and pirate culture, and a lot more rare in say, Ishgard with clearly divided class lines and rules regarding marriage and relationships. But those are hypotheticals.

 

in all likelihood most of the time all it will be is a pointless "look at what a special snowflake I am guys" detail and will be completely and utterly meaningless beyond trying to get attention.

Bit of a generalization of reasoning there. Sometimes people just want to play something different to see where it goes, if even for its own sake, though unfortunately they're met with a similar intolerance. I see nothing wrong with playing such a thing whether it affects specifically character or not. Let's be honest. Interracial children happen in the real world too, though in our case it's more of a skin color/features situation as opposed to things like horns, ears, tails and the like. And while depending on the community it can and does affect some of those children of mixed heritage, others are never bothered by it, or for it, and they just are who they are. Myself for example, I look for the most part, white. But I have more Native American blood than I do caucasian, but the Irish in my background won out. I would assume that similar situations crop up with crossbreeds as well. Maybe the features of one parent are so muted as to barely be there. Who knows. That's what Roleplay is for.

 

And let's also be honest; in a world of adventurers, barmaids, pirates,  drunkards, ne'er-do-wells and so on, sometimes drunken trysts or one night stands happen. And sometimes things come out of those incidents. Just because someone wants to play a mixed character doesn't mean they're doing it for attention. Sometimes they're just doing it to be different, and unfortunately for a great deal of community, these things often get confused. I'll admit yes, it will likely be rare. But I'd rather not be the person that says 'you just want to be a special snowflake' just because they want to do something someone else hasn't or isn't widely done. If someone wants to play a crossbreed, give them a chance before you stamp them with 'bad'.

Well, there is some racial tension (Duskwights and Wildwoods), and I would imagine some interracial couples would certainly be an oddity to some races. The only active racial discrimination I've seen in regards to halfbreeds or the like is in Ishgard. But you know how those Ishgardians are.

 

I would honestly just urge roleplayers to stay away from it even if they decide to go with one of the combinations supported by in game appearance.

I would urge the opposite. If someone is inspired by such a concept for their character, I think it would be exclusionary to urge roleplayers to not do something. Telling a roleplayer not to do something is not a way to breed creativity and diversity in roleplay. Just because other people are scared of certain possibilities and concepts doesn't mean they're inherently bad. Just that some people think they are, and they transfer their bad experiences onto others by trying to prevent them from enjoying their experience. If the lore supports it at all, then it is possible. I urge the roleplayer who wants to do it to question why, yes, but not to not do it at all.

 

I am not saying that everyone that roleplays a mixed race character did it for bad reasons. I am just saying that 80% of them have.

 

73.6% of all statistics are made up.

It's not only that, it's the rampant racism that is depicted and lore-canon everywhere. It was clearly stated by the writers that races live with each other because they have to, but in reality they just co-exist, while mistrust and racial slurs are common occurence, not just in Ishgard but almost everywhere.

 

With that in mind, it would seem weird to see hybrids and cross race couples not to be seen as an abomination by most.

 

Now, then, nuances, everywhere. Because the mainstream says that it's disgusting doesn't mean that it never happens, at the contrary.

Where exactly is "everywhere?" Gridania is pretty xenophobic (race doesn't necessarily have much to do with it, just an aversion to "outsiders"), we're told Duskwights are generally disliked, and Ishgard is pretty darn racist, but aside from this, where do we see racism, particularly in the form of cross-species couples? You say it's "rampant," but I haven't really seen it much in game, if at all. It this point it just largely seems like the headcanon of role-players who've decided they want racial tension in their RP.

The official answer from Fernehalwes can be found here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/32685-Questions-related-to-Lore?p=490835&viewfull=1#post490835 

It's not super fleshed out but it does give a gist of it. If it were to happen within RP I'd expect it to be highlighted as rare/unusual, and focus on pondering over how that may affect them long-term, such as how to fit into society.  

 

"2. Can different races crossbreed? 

 

Answer: Yes, but it is rare...and often difficult due to cultural differences, etc. which is why you don't see it often. The lore team has informed me that there will be future quests/events that touch on this and other issues, such as love and marriage."

It was a dev comment a while back ago, if I remember correctly. I'm having trouble finding the exact post, but I do remember specifically when it first came up. It's been hinted at a few times in-game, but we haven't been shown anything absolutely blatant.

 

The Wanderer's Palace (hard) quest alludes to it, thought it could be argued they were referring to homosexuality (which, at the very least, is common enough in Limsa that one NPC speaks of it openly).

 

My dearest and I know their pain all too well. We both had to leave our birthplace. Why, you ask? Simply because we were different. No, we will not sit idly by and let the tonberries be subjected to such terrible treatment!

 

And of course, the case of Hilda, which again, is more classist than racist, I'd say.

Link to comment

I hate this, but it is possible.

 

G'raha Tia was miqo'te/hyur and Hilda is elezen/hyur. Currently it is unknown if non-hyur races can procreate with each other.

 

I thought G'raha's line was just gifted that blood after the fact and that's why he had it- I don't think he's literally the product of a miqo'te and a hyur union, unless I really missed something

Well unfortunately I don't happen to keep bookmarks for everything so I will have to ask someone else to come with what the writers/devs wrote on that, but I clearly remember it to be about how racial segregation and how every races tend to be wary and xenophobic to each other is pretty central to the depiction of the universe they are trying to sell us.

 

To clarify, I never said that hatred or disgust for cross race breeding is rampant lore wise, I said that lore and writers says that racism is rampant throughout Eorzea. That's lore, but don't quote me on that until someone comes to prove me right or wrong with the correct sources... It would not be the first time I misread something!

 

So with that in mind, and if that's true, my point is just that if the mainstream (especially institutionalized like in Ishgard, or out of traditions in Gridania) entertains the idea of racism strong enough, it seems only logical that for those same ideas, the concept of cross race breeding is abject.

 

To be clearer, the examples of racism ingame are legion. The examples of hatred specifically targeted at hybrid offsprings, not so much indeed. However the first premise to me makes the second one pretty much a given, or else it doesn't make much sense.

Yeah, that's the quest I mentioned earlier that everyone cites. As you said, it could also be the fact it's homosexuality (or just the combination of a relationship that's both homosexual and cross-species being just "too much"), which is why I said it was ambiguous, on top of that fact is that all we know is that they came from their home to Camp Bronze Lake where they are apparently more accepted. There's no mention on whether their home is inside or outside of Eorzea.

 

Some people have mentioned Hilda as evidence, as well, but I'd also agree it's more to do with classism and the fact she was born of an affair out of wedlock.

Cross-breeds are confirmed canonically possible. However, consider that there's no way to represent this in your actual representative avatar. You'd be relying on people examining you, noting your search comment and then acting accordingly.

 

Generally speaking, you can expect a large number of people you might interact with to just ignore it and treat you like your base species. If that's worth the hassle of having to constantly remind people, and the potential stigma of people just avoiding you (since Au Ra are supposed to be "new" to Eorzea, meaning your parents are also a super rare meeting and romance) then go for it.

I work around this with Edgar by intentionally making his Keeper attributes dominant and the differences brought on by his Seeker blood very subtle, so when the inevitable explanation time comes, I can play it off as them simply not noticing because they were hard to spot to begin with.

This is an acceptable way to skip around it, but it does lend itself to two other potential hang-ups: The first is that you're telling someone their character isn't attentive enough to catch this in the first place, and the second is that if it never comes up, it's a worthless trait in 95% of your RP. That ties back to what someone else said about examining why you'd want to do it in the first place.

 

Universal "you" in this paragraph, not calling anyone out specifically. I just want to highlight that even the solutions offer potential problems.

Another comment from Koji Fox was at Fanfest. There was a question about it at the lore panel or the live stream afterwards.

 

Here, he also spoke with Gamerescape.

 

A: Some of the lore makes it sounds like the conflict between the Hyur and Elezen got pretty heated while others make it sound like a long standing tension. What was the extent of those hostilities?

 

MCKF: I touched on this a little bit today in the live stream and there was a question about relationships between the races and crossbreeding. A lot of it doesn’t happen because while we have all these races living together in Eorzea, there’s this tension between them. That’s there because they have these histories of fighting for a long time and then not really making up, but agreeing to disagree and living together because it’s better than living by our self and being more susceptible to Garlean attacks or whatever. We work together because we have a common enemy type of thing. Most of the races don’t really like each other and it”s gone on through multiple Eras. There are times when Eorzea has been more populated by one race over another and there will be conflict there. With the Hyur and Elezen, that’s very recent. In the sixth astral era, Elezen migrated in and in that era they were like “we’re the first ones here!” even though they weren’t, but they were the first at the beginning of the sixth astral era and they settled and of course the pesky Hyur who are everywhere come in and the Elezen are like “oh my god we left you that whole continent up there why are you here!” and the Lalafell come in and you have these cycles of clashing and moving part and that gets ingrained in their society and their racial cultures. There’s always these power struggles, you’ll have times when the Lalafell rise for whatever reason and they’l side with one group and then turn on another group and that’s one of the reasons there’s not a lot of interracial relationships because even though they’re living in the same towns it’s like well yeah… but you’re an Elezen.

 

F: I can just imagine some young Elezen bringing home a Hyur woman and the Grandma going “Why couldn’t you have found a nice Elezen girl!”

 

MCKF: There’s a lot of that going on. Like i mentioned in the stream, in the future we’ll have some characters that are half one race and half another and we’ll see how they’re treated in society and quests with that.

 

Here are Sounsyy's notes on the additional stream that is not available unless you pay to subscribe to their Twitch iirc now:

 

Cross-racial?

-adventurers come from different land. From places slightly more “progressive.” Live together but separate. Hyur and elezen had wars. A lot of bad blood between races. Recently races to come together in single nations. Cross Racial is possible, but it doesn’t happen a lot. It’s a cultural thing. 3.0 there will be a cross-racial union.

I don't think anyone has ever had their character or even OOCly become offended by a potential implication that they may not be attentive in interactions with Edgar. If anything, they seem to roll with it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It gets even better, though, because the first point in that conversation went like this:

 

In general, how open-minded is the average Eorzean? (ex. Accept same-sex couples? Those who do not believe in the Twelve?)

 

Answer: Though many of the races experienced rocky pasts, currently, tolerance is, for the most part, the norm in Eorzea. The main reason behind this being that the region is a veritable melting pot of races who have worked together throughout recent history to survive the hardships thrust upon them. This does not mean that there are do not exist groups which are significantly more closed-minded. For example, while Gridania and Limsa Lominsa are fairly open about having dealings with the some of the more amicable beast tribes (such as the sylphs, goblins, and Qiqirn), the sultanate of Ul'dah are wary of the tribes, in part due to their prolonged conflict with the Amalj'aa.

 

The same can be said regarding religion. Each city-state has a patron (matron) deity, and most people in that city-state will follow the teachings of that god or goddess. There are, for the most part, however, no strict religious codes that must be followed. Some Eorzeans will choose to worship a deity connected to their profession (for example, weavers often follow Nymeia the Spinner). Some follow the deity associated with their nameday. There are even some Eorzeans who choose not to follow the teachings of the Twelve, but they are few and far between...and often will not admit it. The exception to this rule can be seen in Ishgard, where they take the teachings of Halone very seriously...to the point that the church and state have become inseparable. They go as far as calling those who do not follow the Fury 'unbelievers,' and those who are found to have communicated with the dragons of Dravania (the mortal enemies of Ishgard), are branded as heretics and in some cases executed.

 

It's yet one more circumstance of the game showing one thing and the official commentary being contradictory to both what we're shown and in this case, directly what we're told.

 

So, cross-breeds can happen, but it is exceedingly rare. Tolerance is the norm, but everyone's racist. Same-sex is okay, but cross-race is not. And then there's the static NPC cross-race relationships we're shown (specifically the miqo'te arguing with her hyur lover over eating oysters so they can bang) not to mention Alphinaud being hot for teacher.

 

Shit's ambiguous, and can be argued both ways forever.

ffxiv_03022016_104004_zpsegrzioez.png

Every time I hear the oysters I see these two xD

 

 

 

I rp'd a half-breed before, and it was as Edgar mentioned, one trait more prominent then the other. It wasn't hiding the fact they were a half-breed, as they'd often show this trait due to a bad habit, it's that sometimes people won't pick up subtle notes/things in RP. Which is 100% fine.

 

 

 

Through all these forums posts ive read on google and such, i am curious.. Can other races procreate with one another? Like say.. Au Ra and Miqo'te? if so, would they have minor traits like eye color or hair color? or something a bit more?

 

Inter-racial breeding can happen.

 

If you're wishing to play as a cross-breed, I suggest taking traits from each side as our only real example of a half-breed is Hilda. She takes traits from both her hyur mother and elezen father.

ffxiv_03082016_092812_zps8yobv6ud.png

 

 

 

Even though it can happen as all the races are humanoid (Hyuroid?) in nature, it rarely does because of each races views, etc. Doesn't mean it can't, just that it's rare as has been stated before...

Hey all, long time no see. Zaia coming back with a genuine curiosity about this subject. 

 

Through all these forums posts ive read on google and such, i am curious.. Can other races procreate with one another? Like say.. Au Ra and Miqo'te? if so, would they have minor traits like eye color or hair color? or something a bit more?

 

I've been heavily searching but it seem's all i am running across is debates and such, could some one clarify this? if so, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks! Zaia Tesli.

 

No one can give you anything concrete because there isn't anything. The product of this particular union has not been depicted.

 

I've wondered if Au Ra/Miqo crossbreeds would come out with a boney-furry tail and one horn and a fuzzy ear. I'm afraid to say I can't really think of a way to make it attractive. Then again, I'm not SE's art department.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if any upcoming crossbreeds we see are of a more....subdued nature I.E. more Elezen/Hyur or Seeker/Keeper mixes. I don't think you'll see anything outlandish - mainly because they aren't going to want to create the character model for it if they don't have to. The majority of the playerbase doesn't worry about this sort of thing.

 

My 2 cents.

This is a constant struggle I have seeing that my Lalafell is with a Xaela. Its just like... Will it come out a scaly-horned Lalafell? An exceptionally youthful looking Auri with less scales and biggo lalafell ears? Or Lalafell ear-shaped horns? WHAT'S GOING TO COME OUT. DEAR GODS.
