The first to things that come to mind when I read this are the fate in Costa Del Sol where you are helping a guy have a romp with his favorite lady of the night (which is only explained in his dialogue as the fate begins and ends- he ends up taking her into a nearby shack....) and the fact that the B rank hunt in Northern Thanalan is the angry spirit of a boss from 1.0, and only the Huntmaster explains this to you if you ask.

You have to kind of pay attention to the little things to see bits and pieces of lore that isn't the big picture of the main storyline, but it definitely is there. Just like in Gridania near the Lancer's Guild where a Wildwood is making racist remarks against a Duskwight, since the two elezen races have a deep-seeded hatred for each other.
