That's False.

Lightning Strikes and Burgeoning Dread, I can understand being explained away by the Dissidia Multiverse. The Breaking Brick Mountains comes direct from Dragon Quest, which has absolutely zero precedent setting foot in Final Fantasy lands. Not only that, but DQ was initially an Enix title. For XIV to assimilate DQ lore would open up the possibility of not only Enix's entire roster entering FFXIV, but also Eidos.

That means that, if it weren't lorebreaking and anyone could come in using the multiverse theory, we'd start seeing Gabriel Celeste, the Ten Wise Men, Lara Croft, Adam Jensen, and a host of other really really out-of-place characters.

I mean, do I mind that it's lorebreaking that any of these characters could come in at any time? A few of them yeah (Especially the Eidos characters), but not all of them. Doesn't mean they're not lorebreaking.

...and think about it. I mean really THINK. Look at Ifrit. He doesn't even take orders from the Amal'jaa. What in the name of the Twelve are you thinking that he'll somehow miraculously bend his knee to a bunch of humans? There is just no way whatsoever that could happen with the lore as it stands right now.
