Three of my eight characters would even be affected by it. One is an ex-Flames veteran and from Ul'dah, so obviously he's going to be greatly affected by the events, especially when the Syndicate is starting to drive smaller businesses into the ground since that means they're going to be coming after his employer/love interest. And that's not going to end well for whatever Syndicate lackey and his mook troop of Blades shows up to close her down.
Another character has no care at all for Ul'dah, but is keenly interested in the Dragonsong War because his father-figure mentor is a guard captain of House Fortemps, and was originally slated to die at the Steps of Faith until I played it and realized it wasn't the massive defeat I was expecting it to be. Still working on tweaking that story.
My only other character that would be 'affected' is only really going to be 'affected' by it in that it won't take her long to add up the numbers and realize that the Syndicate has either done in or flat usurped the sultanate and is attempting to seize control of Ul'dah. But she doesn't care and it doesn't truly have an affect on her because she's got her hands full dealing with Garlean assassins. And is going, "Huh, glad I decided to move out when I did."
The other five? They'd be hard-pressed to even notice shady shit going on in the Desert Jewel, as they're all in plots in Limsa or Gridania.
