It's one trope I've liked about a lot of adventure anime. The heroes are often, hungry and poor. Sometimes that's why they're adventuring, trying to get some food in their bellies.
Good examples are things like Cowboy Bebop, Gintama, or Slayers. Most RPers I know (including mine, to be fair) have no issues finding food, money, or safe housing. However in a world like Eorzea, and especially in RP hotspot Ul'dah, that sort of security would be rare.
This is one of my favorite things to throw into RP, honestly. I agree that I'd like to see it more, but I'd also especially like to not have my character's money-woes be immediately remedied at the turn of a dime by another character who seems capable of manifesting money from thin air. I don't have any problem with people who choose to play rich characters, but it seems the financially well-to-do tend to outnumber the average joe (much less the actively impoverished) in a lot of RP communities.Â
I love my struggling mercenary types who go from town to town trying to scrounge up enough money to even eat... Only to then make a spectacle of himself chowing down at some local restaurant. (Or, alternatively, blowing what little he has on booze only to go pass out in some dingy, back-alley gutter somewhere because he can't afford an inn. 'Dat class.)
