I generally tend to say that the MSQ is happening, but not to my character(s). I usually don't incorporate anything from the most recent patch until another one has come in, sort of like the RPC spoiler policy. But at the same time time, Franz is probably only about as informed on most events as your average town person. Maybe adventurer/mercenary if it's something -big-.
Since he typically stays within 2.0 maps, news beyond Ishgard isn't likely to happen. He'd have no reason to worry about Primals or Azy Lla or such things, although one could say he stays updated on Garlean news because that is something that matters to him.
