Something else I found is that the FATE format lets you stumble across different parts of the event story in progress, but it seems glitched - no blue marker on the map, and no option to level sync. I didn't know the event had started, just happened to be running the unlock quest for Wanderer's Palace, and came across the last battle for the event. You can hear all of Iroha's lines and you can join in the battle if you've got a class in the right level range, but there's nothing from the game to explain that it is part of a special event and you're not supposed to be here yet.

(Thankfully it didn't stop me from playing the quest normally later, but the initial quest marker didn't show up when I first warped to Limsa and I was a bit worried I'd broken it!)
