The Labyrinth of the Ancients was explored between the arrival of Elidibus and the summoning of Leviathan. The Second Coil of Bahamut was explored around the same time as Leviathan appeared, but before the Ramuh debacle, around the same time Syrcus Tower was explored. Etc. Etc. Etc.
I think there's some evidence of this. Went back to hit Coil of Bahamut after MSQ everyone-is-in-a-coma situation. Besides the fact that various characters were present when technically they should have been totally unconscious, the way dynamics and references play out indicates that while the player is messing with order the event technically took place way earlier.

I don't mind playing out of order one bit, and some wiggle room is cool. But it would be nice if there was a bit of clarification imo haha.

Also, disclaimer--I don't have the lore books. I googled around to check but not much clarity.
