Prostitution in Eorzea

Sengoku era would be the in-universe Age of Blood that's been mentioned once or twice, particularly during the SAM questline. Doma is based on Nara era Japan, Kugane is representative of the clash between Western and Japanese culture during the Meiji Restoration, and the rest of Hingashi is based upon the Edo era based on the available information.

I stand corrected. You'll have to forgive me; Japanese history is... not my forté, to say the least.

This is pedantic and off-topic, but I'm intrigued - what makes you place Kugane as Meiji, and not Edo like the rest of Hingashi? The country being closed save for a single southern port for trade with the rest of the world is pretty much in line with Edo-era Japan, and the setting lacks the more overt signifiers of the Meiji era (adoption of Western clothing, military reform and subsequent imperialist expansion, sword bans and elimination of the samurai, opening of the entire country to foreigners, etc).
