I am an extremely big fan of roleplaying, lore and setting fluff, and FFXIV has a lot of that (obviously; we've got two Encyclopedia Eorzeas and that doesn't even cover it all)! I want to know what people's favorite pieces of that are that not everyone necessarily knows!
Personally, my favorites come from Eureka. One of them is never outright stated, but is pretty obvious if you pay attention to the Baldesion Arsenal: the nation of Mhach almost definitely had control over, and used, the creation magic primal Eureka. Not only is Proto-Ozma the final boss of the Arsenal (only so many ways to explain that one), but one of the first bosses, Art the Black Spear, uses several of Scathach's attacks.
My other favorite is only mentioned in one optional text box at the end of the Eureka Hydatos questline: The reason that the island itself disappeared back in 2.x is because the Students of Baldesion ripped it apart and shoved it into the Lifestream to kill an Ascian. They killed Emmerololth with it sometime between Krile's departure and arrival in Eorzea, and it only came back years later because the primal Eureka was still on it.
