Probably paranoid. After 2.0, the amount of "recons" in FFXIV is practically zero. Like, you have to go very far out of your way to find inconsistencies and even then, a lot of it is that we, the players, have less information then the devs do.

One of the strengths of FFXIV's storytelling is that we get information very organically (see FFXIII for the reverse, curse you Dataloge). There aren't very many info-dumps for the sake of info-dumps. Instead we usually get the basic information on a subject and only when that subject becomes more important do we get the nity-grity details. Like, we'd known that Hydaleyn and Zodiark were opposing each other in 2.0, but it wasn't until 3.4 that we figured out the exact cosmology concerning them. There was no need for that information to come up earlier in the game, so it didn't.

Honestly, one of the best parts about reading the First Lore Book was seeing how much information the devs plan out "behind the scenes" never makes it into the game. However, none of that "missing" information contradicts the game or is necessary for understanding what is going on in the game. If anything, the extra information adds a lot of consistency to what we already knew. It's kinda like seeing what the inside of a clock looks like.

So yeah, most people wanted a 2nd Lore Book as soon as the first one came out because there was barely any recons.
