I'll probably make a few conjectures here, and I want to point out that it mostly relies on player interpretation.
So, we are told by SE lore team that Eorzea can be a harsh place to live. People have to deal with monsters out there, bad stuff, the Calamity, wars, bandits, pirates, slavers... Some of those which are explored in quests.Â
It's not either the middle ages, mind you. We seem to have many anachronistic contemporary projections that go right into the lore (gold saucer, etc). It also covers a huge real life timeframe, from late middle age (Ishgard), to classic piracy (Limsa), steampunk (Ishgard machinistry), timeless (Gridania), antiquity (Ul'dah/gladiators), machine age (Garlemald), SF (allag), etc.
What bugs me a bit is that you say she got fired cause she was minor... But here is the thing... Is there even a minor/major distinction in Eorzea? Wouldn't children already work alongside their parents in many cases or already have responsibilities for nobles (like, you know, Emmanellain page/squire, or even Emmanellain himself)? Why would even an inn tenant care about her age? We are not in our modern world here I think, it's exactly like the cops will show up or anything. I could expect something of that vein in a rigid and more modern society like Garlemald actually. But in Eorzea..?
Thing is though, that as I said it stems a lot from interpretation and personal logic here. It's a fantasy world, so whatever you roll with... It's up to you! Because, maybe I'm totally mistaken.
