It wasn't that long ago in actual human history that violence and abuse was truly rampant (unlike today where we merely believe it is). Â The odds of facing a violent death was exceptionally high during the middle ages, for instance. Â You would have known someone, probably a close family member who was violently killed. Â These things happen today, of course, but during the middle ages, almost every family would have some direct experience.
For FFXIV, I think that anyone leaving the city or some other organized shelter would know they were taking their life into their hands - that there was a damn good chance they'd never come home.
This is all just my opinion tho. Â For all I know, Eorzea is perfectly safe. Â But considering how often something tries to kill my character, it doesn't feel safe at all. I do realize that's a game mechanic but still, Eorzea is almost certainly many, many times more dangerous than our world.
