One of the only times the New World was previously in focus was the Blue Mage questline where an Eorzean merchant seeks to bring sacred Whalaqee land under his control because there's oil there, so the colonialist angle is kinda there.

But I'd love to see a story about the New World where it doesn't need to define itself against Eorzea in any fundamental way. I think it's nice if they're friends and trade and exchange ideas respectfully, a story that's kind of what could have been in our world as well. Or what might yet be.
