Okay first off if this bothers anyone I apologize in advance. So let's get into it.
Eorzea is a realm with mixed technology levels, everything from low grade fantasy to Steam Punk to high grade Sci-Fi. That said I have two questions and again I really apologize if this bothers anyone, but it's kind of important for a story point I'm thinking about building and maybe something for others to consider for their own characters.
How do you think the races handle menstruation cycles, like what resources are available do they have disposables for hygiene products? I mean I know we have no hard fact, but theory crafted. Do you think it would be more like medieval times were they were thought just use wads of cotton (There's actually a really interesting article I ran into doing research for this talking about the theorized hygine products used because there is so little documented.), or do you think there have been advances in technology to the point where they would have developed a disposable product?
Okay so that ball of awkward was part one, now lets get to part 2 The main real reason I made this post.
What do you think the psychological effects the hormones of menstruation cycle would have on some of the classes such as Warrior or Dark Knight, being that both have a lot to do with mental state of mind?
This is the main reason I'm writing this would it cause a Warrior or Dark Knight to become more aggressive during their cycles, would it be harder to keep the Inner Beast or Darkside in check?
Again I really apologize if this subject made anyone feel uncomfortable, but I thought it was a discussion worth having and could benefit quite a few RPers.
CLARIFICATION EDIT: On the topic of emotions, I don't mean the average woman. I mean someone that is already under a ton of duress from such things as a Warriors Inner Beast, A Dark Knights Darkside etc. I'm also not looking for how to behave but more for fellow RPers to theory craft how this time period would affect the brave women who take up these arts. Remember These arts are not easy to master and would likely put a considerable strain on the mental state of their users to master.
EDIT #2: Let's also throw Men's IMS (yes this is a thing.) which is the mental equivalent of PMS due to testosterone dropping causing moods swings in men.

Playing some character, maybe on Balmung, maybe not.
