That's not a Tia! (moonfire spoilers)

I hate to burst your bubble (particularly as I was also pretty intrigued by the idea of the document as you originally described it), but this is just one person's speculation - and not very accurate.

The original poster even says "many of them don't have the same appearance that they did in the old days", and proposes it's because of using fantasias... when the very simple explanation is that they're not the 1.0 retainers at all, just completely separate characters who've also had their names drawn from the pool of NPC name options for that race.

Several of the characters listed don't make any sense to have been working as retainers five years ago - and it's pointed out in the comments on the original page. Ishgardian nobles? Gegeruju? That snobby Sharlayan Lalafell from the Eureka questline? And several others who would have been elsewhere and doing other things at that time.
