When I was leveling my first character I was rather taken aback at the amount of rape and implied rape there is in this game in quests. What shocked me even more was when I brought it up to my FC no one else seemed to remember it. 
Think about that one.
I really disliked the way Squeenix used rape to drive it quests in FF14. (Ala Migo and Ishgard and two places that come to mind that had these quests.) It massively destroyed my immersion. Here I am, playing this awesome strong female character. She's this warrior of light collecting these crystals and defeating the Garleans and....oh. Rape. Great. Always against females too.
I get the feeling that Squeenix wants to have the convenience of placing woman in strong roles while at the same time subtly reminding us that they are physically weaker. Or the "majority" are weaker. MMO's like WoW head this off at the pass by blatantly saying in the game manual that there is no difference between males and females stat-wise in Azeroth. As far as I am aware, FF14 makes no such distinction.
