Why is race and nationality ignored so much in the lore? (why does the lore fail)

[Kilta_Firelotus]

well first off everyone is on equal terms for the most part. in ffxi the three nations did have wars between each other and each race had its own starting city.

And also just a lil fyi.... on gardinia there is a pool of water north west from the arther crystal that you learn about the keeper of the moon miqote, the duskwight and wildwood elezen. But pretty much there isn;t much difference between the races this time. Only in appearence. Because it isn;t really set up how ffxi was. And the main story isn't really about each city it is mostly about those people with those funky tattoo's on there necks. But each city does have a different story. Likr gridania your trying to get rid of the woodsin while learn about moogles elementals and widlings. Ul'dah you learn that the human who died in the goobbue rampage had info from ala about the empire and that a secrete sociaty may have planed the rampage to begin with.
LL you leaen of the fish backs and how the musketeers and the pirate have a rivalry.
