Yes. Everyone is well aware ARR wouldn't have happened if 1.0 wasn't such an disaster.

The problem is while so much of 1.0's story remained canon, every bit as much was retconned, removed, and cannibalized for 2.0 onwards.

Unless you have the direct lore book references and hard confirmation from CURRENT 2.0 and onwards information, it's unreasonable to say, "Yes, this absolutely still applies to the world and story."

There has not been one mention of Greenwrath in 2.0 and on, yet that was at the core of Grid's early story line.

Honestly, if you look at things now, you can clearly see 1.0 details that started after Yoshi-P took charge remained, while everything prior is a vague mess of "is this still canon?"
