It's an aspect of this game's storytelling that I've seen a lot of complaints about, yeah. To their credit, in most cases it can be easily glossed over if you're not paying attention because they usually just imply it, but it's definitely there. A lot.
This game definitely has a lot of darker themes. It was actually a lot darker in 1.0. ARR is toned down quite a bit. It's all still there, but the game's a lot less in your face about it now, which I'm not always a fan of, but I think is a good thing in regards to certain themes.
...But yeah... prepare to see the aftermath of Garlean incursion in 4.0. This topic will likely come up sporadically.
