This is ARR if ARR was us following around the chocobo carriage NPC while he spoke to the scions, did everything, and then at the end of that version of ARR he defeated all the Ascians and Zodiark and endsinger.
Stormblood didn't really have a whole lot left to turn into magic. It wasn't till 4.1 they started laying the seeds for what would be SHB. I think the main point of the expac might have been to give the WoL ties to tural, and establish a new character for future plot lines. In an interview with Jesse cox, Yoshi P acknowledged they don't have any Concrete story plans yet and are going to gauge how the player base responds to Dawntrail MSQ. Getting the setting established Seemed to be the priority rather than giving players loose plot threads to speculate on.
