Why does no one remember Dalamud?

Because there's only so much text writers can put in quests and dialogs, and they'd rather use that place for stuff relevant to this expansion rather than content from over 10 years ago.
You probably realize what you see on screen isn't the full extent of our interactions with NPCs we would have this conversation with. But it would be kinda weird to speak to a new NPC and he casually drops "wow btw the moon was super big for a time, crazy huh?".

Good thing this thread isn't about people not talking about when Dalamud fell. But some people here seem to think Dalamud sprang into existence only to then immediately fall out of the sky.

I'm talking about stuff like how the Xaela have an extensive sun god/moon goddess myth but with no mention of the other moon that was in the sky for thousands of years. No casual remarks about how timekeeping may have changed with there being only one moon in the sky. MikkoAkure mentions astrologians taking Dalamud's projected location into account, and that's an excellent example of a little thing that makes sense in the setting! It was also way back in Heavensward (if not ARR; I don't actually recall seeing it myself).
