Yoshida Recommends Beating Final Fantasy 14's Bahamut, Alexander, And Omega Raids Bef

[Brightamethyst]

We have a LOT of optional content that is done in its own time bubble with characters acting like they had their memories of us or later events wiped. They made CT mandatory so that people could feel any emotional impact for later ShB msq moments.

It's not a time bubble. It's more like skipping around in a book. If you open a book and read chapter 1, then skip to chapter 5, and then go back to chapter 4, it doesn't mean that chapter 4 happened last, or that chapter 3 doesn't exist. The story still happens in a set order even if you don't read the book that way. Estinien doesn't forget about you if you do the DRG quests after HW. You're just going back to an earlier chapter where you hadn't met yet.
