there should be a time line / dungeon chart

Curious about that DRG one - is there anything after 2.4 but before 3.0 that references events from the DRG questline? I didn't think there was anything until you encountered Estinien in the early 3.0 cutscenes...

There's some minor differences in scenes from 2.55 (Before the Fall - Part II). Depending on whether you've started the DRG questline or completed it, you'll get alternate dialogue when Estinien walks into the intercessory during "The Wyrm's Roar." If you haven't started it he treats you as a stranger; if you've started but not completed it he acknowledges you; and if you've completed it, he will acknowledge you as a fellow Azure Dragoon.

It might be 2.5 instead of 2.4, but the first time you meet Estinian in the MSQ is definately before steps of faith. He is introduced by Aymeric at a meeting, and if you have beaten the DRG questline, he will acknowledge you as a fellow azure dragoon.

Edit: Nvm, Cilia explained it far better than me

Guess I was misremembering that scene as a 3.0 cutscene. I do remember being acknowledged by Estinien, but I thought it came later on.

I do wish there was a clear way in-game to know what order dungeons and quests are "supposed" to be done in. It's not really reasonable to ask newer players to pore over years' worth of patch notes to try to figure out the best order to do this sort of stuff in.

Just pick up and do quests/run dungeons as soon as they become available. This will, with very few exceptions, get things done in the "supposed" order. (Only exception I can think of is PotD which becomes available quite early.)
