I'd argue against this little bit right here. I can agree that stuff like airships and fairys aren't for everyone, especially if you don't have the means for money, but given what we're shown within the world, there are Aetherytes everywhere. Even if in some areas they're not very close, you usually don't have to travel more than 5 minutes before you hit another one.
I'm not saying that those sort of traditional tribes shouldn't exist, but more that they would be extremely rare and I honestly think that there should be less of an emphasis on it within the RP community. Like, going back to my main example, when a lot of people new to the world of Eorzea and they think of Miqo'te, they usually think about this super traditional tribalism, despite on how low impact it would be on their culture. Eorzea's culture is communal; there's not really a lot of room for there to be these traditionalist pockets, especially not in the wake of a tragedy where the world is trying to put things back together. Some might retreat, but the vast majority would probably come together to make things right again, or at least resemble something normal.
