NPC recognition in Endwalker

[Iscah]

I said certain ones, not all of them. Most of them are like this but I remember a small amount still played out without the WoL but they skip details about what happened but I don't remember which one since there are so many side stories now.

The only one I can think of is the 30-50 DRG storyline, and even then only because it's said or implied that Nidhogg possessed Estinien once before fully taking over at the end of Heavensward.

As a rule, it isn't how they've handled optional storylines in years and I can't see them selectively starting it now.
