Revelations from Patch 5.5 (Part 2)

[Iscah]

Well, while traveling back we could be in Mide kind of situation. Where today exists because we went to the past.

Certainly that would be the route to take if we did any travel to the past: have our historians identify a patch of history where there are no clear records of what happened, so you can't accidentally contradict facts known in the present.

I'm just not sure that I want to see the story go there, and especially after they made a big deal of just how difficult it was to achieve the first time - and the commitment required of G'raha, besides.

The meaning behind a certain lyric in Locus- a theme reused for The Twinning.

The very boring answer is that 7-3-2 is the access code for the Gordias entry hatch, though you can still debate the significance of that.

The Fourth Astral Era is famously bare of history, allegedly due to the anti-intellectualism after the fall of the Allagan Empire. I admit it would be a massive troll if the story does go there and have us "fix" history during that time, since as far as I can tell nothing interesting actually happened, other than the common Eorzean alphabet being standardized. (The Miqo'te migration happened afterwards, in the Fifth Umbral Era.)
