When you get into the 50s-60s range, it starts to get a little eyebrow raising to see these guys out adventuring. So unless they're just side characters or the adventuring is OOC you probably won't see it.
I would say that limiting your characters IC main history and/or actions to the 'official ARR story' is severely limiting as to the kind of character that can be created and RPed. Not saying that it can't work for a lot of RP characters, but in a lot of cases, it should be taken with a grain of salt. While the events/characters seen and in the 'official story' factor in the world and its lore. Using them as a primary baseline for characters to be created from really limits the scope and extent to which Eorzea may be fleshed out. Not to mention that it kind of whacks out timelines and character interaction to rely on it for RP purpouses.
Personally, I've always taken MMOs official stories as lore/current events. Its PvE and backdrop for me. My RP characters rarely, if at all interact with it on a immediate/personal basis.
