Modern vs Medieval, what time is it?

So much delicious, delicious insight. Thank you.

I forgot all about Vesper Bay (Pray return to the Waking Sa- I mean Rising Stones) and how politics run the world stronger than the magic itself. Which is rad. Yeah, I suppose it does make perfect sense in that regard.

I always consider Adventurers/other players to be apart of the world, causing a ruckus with their outlandish outfits and clotting up the chocobo stables with all the non magic mounts. The WoL is always the exception, yes, but in the instance of, say, Concerted Works- it doesn't work without a mass of other people. So to me, they exist, and are actively affecting the world wherever they go. Which is why I'm eager for more insight. Thank you.

Also keep in mind that Eorzea has magic, and that it is much more prevalent then tech is. Why go through all the bother of designing the equivalent of a refrigerator when a bunch of ice crystals will do the job?

Now this makes me wish for an ice box furniture item that can store exclusively food ingredients. Nothing Allag level fancy, just a plain lacquered wood box. And I'm also wishing to see a fully furnished, average peasant house.

ARR houses are usually a table/chairs, bed, some counters and the front door. It looks more like a place you can enter, and not really complete because of how spacious they are. But hey, if those cabinets are laced with ice crystals and there's some communal outhouse we never see, I'd believe it. Dwarf house on the First is more fleshed out... but it's on the First.
