Been a while since I did my lore homework but I think I recall some of these points...

We do actually teleport but it's apparently super rare. They do it in Endwalker. A role quest in Dawntrail pokes fun at our use of this rare magic that we use when we ask for a quest giver to "cover our teleportation costs" and they then look at you with utmost confusion then reply with "Excuse me but... what's Teleportation?"

Phoenix Down's don't bring back the dead they bring you back from the brink of death or from unconsciousness. Same thing for Raise, really. In game lore if we wipe in a dungeon it means we're all knocked out and it's assumed the enemy would then just finish us off, slit the characters throats or eat them etc... Thankfully we have the Echo so any wipe in game is us seeing a failure before it happens. lol
