Disclosure: I'm not sure what parts of the memory are foggy or lost entirely, so this might be off-character. Also, I keep getting the name wrong but Franz is how I'm used to it so fuck your H's!
Franz laid his head down and tried to let go of the day. It had been one of those trying ones where all he'd wanted to do was keep to himself and have some peace and quiet but like all things in his life, it was never to be that easy. His breakfast had been interrupted by cannon fire and his lunch delayed by a brigand, and he'd never gotten to dinner seeing as how when he returned to their - his - place in the Goblet there was a swarm of Flames and Sworn still trying to figure out how such heavy ordinance had been allowed to collect in one place.
He'd immediately detoured away when he identified the authorities. Part habit, part common sense, Franz didn't see a point in risking detection when there was no need. He'd made off on the more off-beaten paths the Goblet had to offer, touring the high rises that offered a view of Thanalan. The sun was setting off on the horizon, slipping gradually behind the mountains and Franz paused a moment to take it in. It was not Garlemald, and in his heart he felt nothing could ever compare to the sweeping vistas his homeland had to offer, but it was something to behold nonetheless.
The Garlean recounted his steps as his mind drifted off to sleep, his last conscious thoughts being a silent prayer to nobody that he not be woken up by explosions. Once he had drifted, however, he was welcomed back by the loving arms and faces of those most important to him. He wouldn't remember them when the bubble of sleep burst, but for a brief moment in the realm of slumber, a man could dream.
Another great clip as always.

Things about Memories/Name
For the Franz vs Frhanz thing, they're different characters, so Warren would only have known "Franz". Long story short, bad things happened involving Unnamed Mercenary and Frhanz (the character known as Frhanz'ir Kirche), and after the fact, Unnamed Mercenary took the name, since he couldn't exactly get by in daily life saying he has no name. One of these days, he'll get around to remember his real name.
Put differently,
Franz = Merc = the Unnamed Mercenary: Grew up in Garlemald as a proud, pure-blooded Garlean. Backstory maybe one day. Joined the Garlean military where he eventually met the woman he married, Lydia. After the battle at Silvertear Lake, he couldn't fight any more. It prompted things and stuff happened, and that's how he ended up a broken man in Eorzea, with anything that could lead back gone.
Frhanz = Frhanz'ir Kirche: Was a Duskwight Elezen from a very eccentric Ishgardian family. Lots of snooty education on things. Fhranz sucked at combat, but made up for it by delving into lots of crafts. He was most skilled at alchemy and scholarly endeavors. He and Kage knew each other and were good friends. He also somewhat sacrificed himself to save Merc.
And for memories, that's pretty close. Pretty much anything not related to him personally is still there. (Education, politics, events, etc). If it was related to his life directly, it's gone. (Friends, family, childhood, etc). A few things have been coming back here and there, at a pace of "when RP says he gets it back". Currently, those memories include: military life, his wife, and the fact that he has a daughter, but he doesn't know any thing about her. On top of that, all the elezen Frhanz's memories are floating around too, which is where the Ishgardian comes from. (And pretty much anything else related to Eorzea)
