might want to pay attention to all the lore. Lore wise Eorzea is in a state of calm. The guilds were formed to give all the armies, mercenaries, and tradesmen something to occupy their tome while keeping their skills on par. The intro story so far is about the strange occurrences that are leading up to something bigger. Which was how ffxi started also.
