  1. So – important to note as it apparently didn't come off clear in the video. The examples of mixed race children often take after their mother is a statement about the ones we have seen thus far in game (which may be subject to just straight up not wanting to make custom head models). It is NOT a hard rule. This came about in-part from this video being hard to keep a in-universe point of view when viewed by others.

    For a good summation of everything shown in game as well as statements from the developers – we highly recommend everyone check out MirkeMenagerie's blog here: https://mirkemenagerie.tumblr.com/post/177360426969/hello-i-found-your-blog-from-a-forum-because

  2. Another example I'd bring up is the cute little Miqo'te girl that you meet in 5.3 who wants to be a WoL healer as she clearly shows traits of both Seeker of the Sun/Keeper of the Moon tribes. However, I will hold that until we see definitive proof of it in the game that many races may not be able to procreate with each other even if they SOMEHOW found a way to copulate despite their drastic differences. The genetic differences may simply be too great for it to happen very easily or at all which added to the difficulty accomplishing the later probably explains in a broad sense why it's not seen in the world.

  3. It would be so cool if mixed races become playable at some point. I like the idea of possibly being a short au ra male since they're normally so damn tall. Same with viera. As an irl short person, it feels weird to play a character that is so tall. That's why I'm miqo'te lol. (well, not the only reason. I love being a catboy)

  4. This is everything you could want from a ff 14 content maker! I LOVE the use of in game, in cannon, and IN lore information. It's VERY in character and I've waited for somebody to go this route for a long time!

  6. Brother Archon! I might offer an extra take on this 'traits of the mother' business.

    Might I turn your attention to none other than Detective Hildibrand, and his parents: Godbert (a Highlander), and Julyan (a Midlander). Now this is a more notable situation, as not just eyes and teeth change, but entire physiology. Hildibrand carries with him the vast majority of his father's traits, including his race, bearing the notion that the rule of the mother may apply exclusively in circumstances where races mix, and not clans.

  7. Hi, I was having a debate with a friend about garleans using magic, and to prove him wrong, I was wondering where the lore says they can use magic, or if that was just inferring

  8. What I love about this is it's a take on Earth's notion of Pride Month, with the focus on what romantic prejudices exist in Etheryis. It's a really great adaptation!

  9. I feel like hyur would prob be the best race to mix with kinda like how it is in dnd? esp since most races are relatively the same size and I don't think physiologically different? like how Gallifrians have 2 hearts or something like that. I don't think Elezen or Roe would be any different from Hyur to a major extent?
