Some youtube channels do cover the lore for the game for stuff before A Realm Reborn like the summary of version 1.0 which I highly recommend you watch before u go further

Tho a lot of stuff will unfold as you go on with the main story quests and sidequests,if you want an instantly accessible version summarizing everything you can get the Encyclopedia Eorzea book....but beware cuz it has a lot of spoilers

Also welcome to the world of Final Fantasy XIV.Hope u have fun and if u want some help let me know...I can tank a dungeon/boss or two for ya ^_^

EDIT:Also,while not lore related per se,I highly recommend watching the documentary on Final Fantasy XIV and how much it changed from the original 1.0 release to ARR and onward
