At least as far as the in-game models go. ^^; *continues to imagine her character(s) in desert-appropriate wear*
In a world where potions and the like can restore someone from the brink of death, exposure to the elements is possibly the least-serious thing someone can worry about. Realism need not apply in any setting where magical healing is present.
Tangent: Given what we know about magic and what we fluff for healing, it's entirely plausible that our characters never need to eat or sleep. Ever. Any damage done by malnutrition would theoretically be restored any time we're healed and any effects of not sleeping would be similarly rejuvenated. You could, in theory, play a completely nude, completely-pale Duskwight elezen who fasts in the hottest parts of the Sagoli, sustaining yourself only on ethers, and still return to your lands without so much as a tan provided you keep yourself refreshed.
All canonical, if you decide it.
This argument is dumb.
