That right there is the issue though.Â
By blowing up Ul'dah, you would effectively split people into two groups: those that accept your storyline into theirs, and those who do not. And that isn't supposed to be a consented choice.Â
By using a large, public area as the setting, it creates a split in the community. Just like the previous Askier-run event where the water was poisoned, it made a MASSIVE split in the community and even players who do not use the RPC, but RP were talking about it and it was clear that some were uncomfortable with it.Â
It's basically telling someone they would need to accept your story's injection into their own, and not everyone would want to deal with that. Especially if there is no way for it to be stopped, reduced or otherwise adjusted for the entire community. (And even then, trying to blow something up will 'blow up the community')

If this is supposed to only exist in FC-canon, I would say that it cannot also exist in open-world canon, where there cannot be such changes made. At the end of the day/night/scene/whatever, each of the cities' stories is still going to have to be wherever SE has put them, and the kind of changes such an event would have is not within the scope that a RPer could modify.
This isn't saying "don't do it", but it is saying "do it carefully, or do it only for your FC". If a scene I had last night with just two other people is any indication, violence in a city will make other people react, and you cannot ask that they just politely do not interfere with a pre-planned story.
