RyuRoots is right.
Also, information like that isn't just available from quests, you have to talk to NPCs around the area or involved NPCs that don't have the quest progress mark during quests if you want a better picture, reading the dungeon, trial or other duty description, etc.
There's also levequests, guildhests descriptions etc. that give a bit of neat info about practices in Eorzea.
The information from 1.0 also exists, it might be good to search about that, too.
