If you can prove that 100 days have passed, it will still act as if it's 1 7AE.

All content that came out in a patch "happened" in that patch, even if you didn't do it. All patches are in chronological order.[INDENT]e.g. All job quests up to LV50 happened before the Praetorium. The Binding Coil of Bahamut was explored after the Praetorium and before the arrival of Elidibus. 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, which itself happened around the same time Syrcus Tower was explored. Etc. Etc. Etc.
The problem is that the game is trying to do both of these at the same time, and everything just ends up being more confusing because of it. You can't have it both ways.
