Welcome! Hurray WoW-players!
I think a lot of people aren't 100 percent on the lore yet; I'm not and I've been hanging around, reading like a crazy person for a while. I -have- played other FF games, but rest assured that the only one(s) that have anything in common with this are FFXI and FFXIV 1.0 (And FFXI isn't really connected, lore wise, but all the character races were pretty much the same).
Nothing from the older FFs are really connected to one another, with a few exceptions. You'll still see the Cactuar and the Chocobos and the inevitable Cid but otherwise each is unique so that should make things a lot easier.
If you have any questions people here are happy to help. Rolling a Hyur that's young and possibly inexperienced is a great idea on how to discover the lore OOCly as you do ICly or in game, IMO.
So, again, welcome~
