I have to second Valic on this one. The absolute best place to get a feel for the world and its lore is to actually play the game and really read its story. Do every side quest, talk to random NPCs about each town. In each town there's at least one NPC who tells you who they or their faction are and a little about the history of the town. (The 1.0 version of the game did a much much better job with world building lore, but to find that you'll have to go digging, unless I've already covered the topic.) There's also a lore book that is sold on the Square Enix Online Store, however, do note that there are several factual errors as it's still the 1st Edition draft.
Valic also mentioned Ethys Asher's videos, and while I'm a pretty big fan of his work I should also say that - for the sake of the video's time - certain topics are condensed and occasionally have misinformation. Ethys is pretty good about going back in his comments and correcting mistakes though!
But avoid finalfantasy.wikia (Final Fantasy Wiki) like the plague. It has a huge problem with not sourcing its information and there's a lot of misinformation swirling around the site's pages.
I guess last I should throw in my own resource. If you're looking to sit down and read sourced lore on various topics without having to search through a bunch of different online websites like chrysaliswiki and gamerescape or in game, then check out my own index of lore compilations which can be found here or in my sig on any of my posts. As well as the compilations in that thread, I've also linked additional posts and compilations that I've written in other places on the RPC and on my tumblr in the drop down (spoiler) menus.
Hope that helps! ^^ And if you have any questions, feel free to ask here on the forums!
