I like to try and make sure my characters have enough leeway to be basically anywhere they're needed. Chachan is a Free Paladin, so he could conceivably be found anywhere under that pretense or just visiting friends and whatnot. He does frequent Ul'dah and Limsa more than Gridania, though, mostly due to the former being his former home (and semi-base of operations for his errand-running) and the latter being his current one.
Judge, likewise, goes wherever his services are needed.
That said, I'll still somehow find ways to limit myself from going to places. I missed out on a little beach party because I couldn't rationalize suddenly being out at Costa on Chachan. And his current arc more or less has him sticking around Mor Dhona, though I manage to justify his attendance at events as him still wanting to help out regardless of his situation.
Someone else offered "fast forwarding" and the like as well. Basically, remove the linearity of the events and have whatever thing you're attending (random RP or event or whatever) be before or after whatever would keep your character from being there. Which, I suppose could work for some people?
