    pretty sure there is no unknown hero and if there was they'd epically fail and we'd have to clean up their mess just like with the ivalice raid or the warriors of light of the first

    As I said, we only see the world through events of our character and most likely we are not the only Heroes in the world nor the only Hero that can succeed in saving the world. However, that does not mean they follow the same life we have nor are the expect to become just as famous as WoL.

    Story is all about perspective of events in the world the story is set in. To believe that WoL is the only Hero, the only Hero who can get anything done, and the only Hero dealing with world doom level threat is the perspective given to us because we only see the world from WoL point of view.

    There are no doubt probably many Heroes in the world of FF14 with their own story and preventing their own world ending threat. Whether we learn about it or not is up to the perspective we are given through the story. As Emet said, we know very little about the world from only our little space in Eorzea and this comment is meant for both WoL and us players as our perspective about the world is very limited by only what we experienced through 1.0 to 6.0.

    SE has deal with this type of storytelling before as well mostly in their mobile game Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. There is always some world ending threat happening that Rain's group is unaware about, become aware about after events already happened, or become aware near the end but these events are prevented because there is always another group of heroes willing to step up to stop these dooms from happening. As for these Heroes becoming famous or not, it is up to them but most of the time they don't due various reasons.

    SE is also taking this storytelling again in War of the Vision through the Main Story focusing on the world ending events of the War of the Vision and their new Main Story that happens through Events called Warriors of the Crystal. The Warriors of the Crystal group are dealing with a world ending event of equal or greater threat but they are unlikely going to become famous as Mont's group due to how their events of the story unfolds despite saving the world from a threat equal or greater than Mont's antagonist threat.
