Revelations from Patch 5.3

[RyuDragnier]

Well he should do better to get people invested from the beginning, because a plot twist at the end won't matter if I'm so uninterested before then that I'm skipping cutscenes.

This story so far has absolutely nothing to do with Norvrandt or Eorzea. It's all extremely out of place and they're not even slightly attempting to mesh it with XIV's setting. I don't see why I should care about anything that's going on.

His games draw you in during the beginning due to their unique gameplay and bizarre world. Look up the starting part of Nier Automata to get a good look at his MO. As for how it meshes...I have a sneaking suspicion they're going to reference Ending D of Nier Automata in the finale. And if that is what they use, those of us who have finished the game already have a thought on how they're going to do it.
