Done, no question removed. These are the questions I personally answered as Jet'a. True, most of Eorzeans are illiterate, and that is why an education (or owning books) is a privilege and adds a point. I think that's the point of the question. In the third world, the 98% of population is illiterate (1 out of 5 people on Earth, and Eorzea is not Hydaelyn), so yes, even on Earth being literate is a privilege.
Also regarding wealth, I'll say what I've stated in the gil thread. The gil we make with in-game mechanics, and the prices in the Market Board (or in housing, since those prices depend on the Market Board prices) are OOC. I always look at the price of food ingredients to determine the true value of gil, and use it to picture how much my character would actually own. I think only those born and raised by nobles in Ul'dah can seriously claim to have millions, personally.

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
