The Game Needs Bathrooms (and Toilets)

[DWolfwood]

Now I know people do the world a service by making bathrooms in their houses, but seriously, where are all the bathrooms!? I wanna walk around Eorzea and overhear awkward conversation text when I pass by a bathroom, ala FF7 and just about every game with a sense of humor.

I constantly look inside houses and wonder where these people go to the bathroom at and take showers. It's horrible!

Basically, this trope is in effect here.

Besides, Eorzea is an early-Industrial Era/post-Medieval setting - few people if any are going to have indoor plumbing. What amounts for a toilet would be little more than a chamberpot under their bed, and bathing would be 'dunk yourself in the nearest pond or river'.

The game even states this with the FATE 'Downwind' where it's mentioned how the inhabitants of Little Ala Mhigo have to dig latrines outside of town just to prevent the stench... lingering in town... which inevitably attracts wildlife.

Goddess I can't believe I'm talking about this....

They don't have to be inside! I respect the lore, show us them outhouses!

Now I'm terrified to ask what you savages have been using.

So I guess this water just magically forms out of the void?
I guess we'll have to do it just as skyrim:

Us having a showerhead available for use in personal/FC houses doesn't invalidate the statement that you quoted, though. We're special people. We're adventurers, and those housing wards are set aside especially for us to attract us to stay within the three city states so of course they'd be luxurious. We're also very rich as compared to the average Eorzean. I'm not talking about Ul'dahan merchants and the like, but your average fisherman or guardsman or what have you. Most people aren't going to have indoor plumbing. We, however, have that luxury by virtue of who and what we are.

The only way this would be worth it is if using the toilet gave something akin to a food buff.

But that's the last thing we need, having to ask everyone before each fight "Now, did everyone remember to go to the bathroom?"

We did those 3 things at river(or sea as well).

Perhaps the Eorzean magics work like they did in this episode of family guy:
