Eorzea is a modern civilization, though; there's plumbing, some form of centralized power likely via aether manipulation (because let's be honest, I sincerely doubt the likes of Ul'dah has a candle maiden relighting the city in the wee hours of the morning), all forms of various mechanical contraptions from fold-out composite longbows to massive airships and that's without even stepping into magitek territory.
Bottom line: fantasy does not necessarily mean 'dark ages'. If we want to talk a subject like age of consent, it has to be done from a more recent perspective. Sixteen would be the figure I'd go with as it's a fairly reasonable average imo. It's bound to vary from person-to-person, though, simply due to the vast array of cultural backgrounds the player based is formed from.
Where on Earth did this information come from? O_o To my understanding the age at which Padjal cease to physically age varies from child to child, hence why we have the older Kan-E-Senna versus, say, her younger siblings.

The length of the Padjal's horns is their only indicator of age. The only reason Kan-E looks older is because she's altered her appearance so the leaders of other nations take her seriously. Kan-E is in her early twenties.
