Firearms were not an effective force multiplier until the 1800s. Their slow rate of reloading and general inaccuracies ensured that they were simply not effective counters to traditional, native weaponry. This was not restricted to North America, but Africa as well. Portuguese invaders found their weaponry unable to suppress native populations and force them to cooperate in order to institute their slave trade, an issue that was ongoing, again, into the 1800s when advances in technology allowed for quicker reloading and greater accuracy.
I feel FFXIV is a similar situation if traditional bows and weaponry can combat Garlean firearms.
