All the coolest people have FFXIV Wordpress blogs.

But no, it's actually a got a lot to do with the way the Lodestone filters blog posts as others have mentioned. For whatever reason it doesn't default to the language for your account. There actually is a decently-sized community that blogs on the English side of things. I made sure to filter them once (but for some reason it defaulted back the next time I logged in) and was actually pretty surprised at how much was actually going on for us.
