Oh I agree that they're all rare!
What I'm saying is even if they're common among player characters, that doesn't make them common in the game world, because player characters are a minority in the "reality" of Eorzea to bgin with (which cannot be realistically represented in a video game) and player characters have a tendency ,as a minority, to represent the rarest inhabitants of the game world.
It's like how the Star Wars books, movies, comics, games and cartoons (aside from the episode 4-5-6 movies) seem to have a lot of jedis in them considering they're supposed to be rare... but that's only because the stories revolve around them as opposed to the billions of non-jedi people on each planet.
