The set that Curious George wears is actually (he admits it himself in one of the quests) a replica and holds no magic. The magic of the armor focuses the Warrior wearing it and enhances their abilities. But only a true Warrior can wear the armor and conquer the Inner Beast without the Beast taking over and enthralling him/her.
One hundred years ago, during the Autumn War, there were many many Warriors roaming around  Eorzea. Afterwards, during the relative peace time that settled, there was little need of "Warriors" so what few were left returned to their native homelands of Abalathia's Spine. The set the Player Character obtains in the Warrior storyline is likely one of many lost to the decades. (Probably more common to find the further north you travel.) How you choose to find the set is up to you, but just know lore-wise it is possible.
Hope this helps! ^^
Yes, this helps a lot!! This is the sort of information I hoped was out there somewhere, but my and my friend's lore knowledge still has a lot of holes. Something to either suggest there are more inscribed sets out there, or confirm for sure there was only one set, in which case we would have had to find an alternative or keep it strictly in the FC. Autumn War, huh? Something else to read up on!
There is also still the matter of explaining how exactly he finds it, but this bit of knowledge opens up a lot of possibilities. The other suggestions are greatly appreciated too. :D thanks, all!
