This is most prominent within Heavensward (though I'll avoid exact examples to avoid spoilers) as well as the scheming that led to the events in the latter portion of the ARR content.
The inspiration is taken from Tactics Ogre, as is many of the gearsets, a setting where they actually have heaps of lore and backstory to support why the various factions and nationalities hate each other down to their very blood.
Unlike in FFXIV, where you'll see people want to lynch all Au Ra because.. ???
