Firearms have been around a while in Eorzea and Garlemald, yet despite that medieval style arms and armor are still widely used and shown to be effective at staving off a Garlean assault. In reality, Limsa and Garlemald would be the ultimate military powers in the world given their access to firearms.
In my own head-canon the only way I can reason why they are not is that aether allows people to put medieval arms and armor to use in a way that they can stand against firearms.
I don't expect we'll ever get a straight answer about it, but rule of cool is definitely being put to use here.
