Why are there no hospitals, power stations, fire stations or rubbish tips in Eorzea? Surely they need midwives & gynaecologists. Or maybe, just maybe, this is a *fantasy* game & not Sim City. Some things don't need to be replicated in game, they just don't.

Does Eorzea even have indoor plumbing?

Request: "/toilet" emote. We have toilets but can't use them!

Thanks, but I'm okay.

I don't know do you sit on the toilet some weird way when you pee? Lol I think the normal one would be fine.

I found a toilet once in a random house I went into.

You know someone, somewhere, will ask they include sound effects, a wiping animation, and a flushing animation and sound.
Someone will request it...

Can we get an animation if we logout in our house and have a toilet?

WoL doesn't poop. It's too risky. Otherwise an enemy may catch us with our pants down.

Can't have that. So the Echo deals with bodily functions by making them not required.

Man, the echo sounds nice. Do want the echo in real life. Goodbye expensive toilet paper. Goodbye nasty public restrooms.
Hellooooo, magic food disposing stomach.

I made one even though I don't RP. The bathroom seemed aesthetically unfinished without one.

So much nicer than the design I used... XD

On topic though, I just figured we pissed and shat in rivers cause of the lack of toilets everywhere.

Ugh, it's just like the stories my friend told me about his time deployed in the Philippines. If it looks like the place you're in wouldn't have a dedicated and well-kept water reservoir for showering, it's likely pulling the water from the river that everyone uses for every daily need (including drinking and pooping).

I like the realism in FFXIV and we have all kinds of things for house decoration but I've yet to see a toilet, be it a room or the fixture itself, we have showers and bathtubs so why can't we have toilets as well!?, it's not like Eorzeans don't have such needs!... :o

No. It's like Star Trek, there are no toilets, we just automagically relieve ourselves in an unseen manner.

Could we also add dusting, filth, raking leaves, timeworn rot, aging, nipples, dressing for temperature, sickness, permanent death, slipping, vandalism, and hunger?

Actually there are toilets... Gene Just didn't care to show it cause that's not the point of Star Trek!

Sometimes I start to think people mistakes this game with Sims 4.

"For the realism sake"
Final Fantasy XIV
"For the realism"
Final Fantasy
"Realism"
Fantasy

If we start listing all of the "unrealistic" things about this game and ask SE to change it... No, thanks. As for toilets, I'd rather SE to put the time and money they would invest on that to do something else regarding the housing system. Like making some sorce of aetherial fridge where we can store our food to save inventory space, that would be awesome. Or develop a wardrobe for housing where we can store and collect gear to be used at any time as glamour. Anything but a toilet, because we all know that at some point someone will demand a /toilet emote of something like that. Roleplaying that you're using a toilet isn't that important and I don't think the lack of it is that gamebreaking. Other people already used their creativity to make their own toilets for decoration's sake.

In the ship blue prints, yes (I have the original, original Original Series Technical Manual), but I don't remember seeing one on screen, so it's not entirely canon... ;)
