The sultanate falling apart, Dravanians nearly destroying Ishgard (again), and the sudden recurrence of Primals thanks to Urianger: that sack of shit who knew too much. Also the fact even bystanders would be like "Why the fuck is the Flame General in prison and the Blades are on high alert"
This essentially.Â
The ripple-effect is big enough to fondle at least a little bit with most characters that RP a lot in Ul'dah, as I see it.Â
From what I can tell, most people's own story-lines are not deeply connected with the MSQ, not to an extend of involving the big story characters in it or to say that they indirectly caused something that happened in it.Â
You could compare it to say, if there was an orbital nuke on an entire zone. People would have to figure out where their characters would have been at that time to ensure they didn't get nuked, and for some it might have been a zone where they had placed some of their story stuff as taking place, such as "this is where my family lives".
