Then what's the overall point of it? lol. In the end it's still up to the community to actually spread themselves out, in FFXI the main storyline lead you to Jeuno, yet people still spread themselves out because each city had it's own benefit, i.e low level gear/prices in nations, Dunes being the XP spot and it was always much much quicker to get to from cities etc.

The storyline may send you to ul'dah, but that doesn't mean you need to STAY there for the rest of your game career, you can easily go to Gridania and Limsa, people just choose not to and SE can't fix this.
