Linkshells?
Depends if they're OOC or IC really, I mean I have three OOC linkshells but I guess technically, Logan is a bit of a forever aloner.
:c
Plumbing?
I think it depends on how rich the area is, if it's a city or just an outpost. However, I think it's definitely plausible, I mean even the Romans had some type of plumbing and Eorzea is of a much higher technology in some parts (At least steam level judging by some of the contraptions around, at least from the Goblins).
As for bathrooms? Well I've noticed a lot of buildings have inaccessible doors... occupied?
Travelling?
I think to the common people, you've got Chocobos, carts, boats and possibly in the future, steam trains (which I think Yoshi-P mentioned in an interview), low cost but arduous means of travel. For the rich, I'd say Airships and the Aethernet, both of which are apparently quite expensive (and in the case of the Aethernet, put some serious temporary stress on the body).
But I'd reckon next to walking, chocobo porters are most popular, after all they're everywhere so business must be good! (At least, that's what I'd say IC).
Electricity
I think it exists, it's just not available to everyone and in some cases (I'm looking at you Gridania), might not be wanted. I kind of envision it similar to FFVI, steam technology is starting to be taken advantage of overall, but there's some cases of electricity being generated by either steam or magitek.
I mean really, electricity is generated by moving magnets around wires, it's quite simple and all you need is something to generate that motion, be it the wind, water or steam power.
For example, nuclear reactors are basically just furnaces that heat up water to create steam to push turbines to make electricity.
So although it's not widespread and there's no infrastructure for it, at least in Eorzea, I definitely think it exists and is probably mostly seen in Garlemalde, I mean from little I've seen of their architecture, you have electric lights and an electronic sounding speaker for public announcements.
As for those Lightning cores? They're actually really hot and are used in furnaces, along with Bombs, according to the Lominsa quests. But again, a lot of electricity generation starts with heat + water, and even if that's not your aim, you've still got steam power.
