What lore do you ignore?

"Gu" for the G tribe is just part of how spelling foreign words in Japanese tends to work. Their syllable-based alphabet often requires extra vowels to end up in the middle of words, but then they tend to skim over "u" sound and not emphasise it. In any case it's not an indication of the true pronunciation; they just can't get any closer. (For another FFXIV example there's Grynewaht – in Japanese, グリーンワート "Guriinwaat" – but again that's just the closest they can get to the European-based Roegadyn language.)

Meanwhile, Y'mhitra is "Ya'mitora" which again is extra vowels sneaking in for necessity, but we can gather that "Meetra" is the intended pronunciation.

Also, "Mi'quote" is an incorrect spelling that implies an incorrect pronunciation. It's Miqo'te, or Mikotte in Japanese – the "qo" is a "ko" sound so it shouldn't have a U in there, and the apostrophe is there to indicate that the "te" is a separate syllable.

the whole MSQ supposedly only being a year long canonically and the simpsons aging the twins have. it hurts my brain thinking about it so i've been headcanoning each expac takes around a year give or take (ARR being one year, HW being 6 months to a year, and StB being a year, i haven't gotten to ShB or EW yet so my thoughts on those are incomplete)

The amount of lore I either slightly alter or ignore entirely is impressive to be honest, even my more fitting characters for the plot don't fit enough for the story to go how it does with them.

The major ones ignored though are the 1 year time bubble (ARR to EW is AT LEAST 5 years in my mind), and nobody ever aging (or bringing up the soul being older than the body for the Scions again for that matter). Also some smaller gripes like Au Ra limbal rings being artificial and their extreme dimorphism being universal for all clans.

All of dawntrails it didnt exist

Even tho there is a 2 year gap on dawntrail and even shadowbringers
