We haven't seen anything to suggest women have vaginas in Eorzea.Eorzea would have no need of emmenagogues if women didn't have periods, then.
Emmenagogue: an herb or medicine that promotes mensturation
So we know that women menstruate, but how do we know that menstruation doesn't happen different in Eorzea? From the eyes, perhaps?
(and especially, but not exclusively, in cases of taboo, lack of evidence is not itself evidence, since writers may be avoiding those subjects out of politeness/them being squeamish.)
If we didn't look at it this way, how would anything even?
