Having read all this back-and-forth, I gotta say I'm WAY more on-board with Iscah's interpretation than Edwin's Block thingy.

To me, it's simple: the moment your character steps into the first quest of Heavensward, she has canonically done EVERYTHING THAT IT'S POSSIBLE TO DO in ARR. CT? Done. Coil? Done. Leveled every job? Done. Crafted/gathered all the things? Done. Relicked all the weapons? Done.

Note: the CHARACTER has done all these things, even if the player has not. For things the PLAYER has not yet done, the game is coy, and works the dialog to avoid giving too much away, just in case the player wants to go back and do them later. But it's still the case that these things are part of the character's history. They are not added in retroactively as the player does them - they are already done. The player doing them after the fact is, at best, a flashback, or maybe an Echo vision.

Same goes for the first step into Stormblood. Void Ark? Done. Alexander. Done. Etc. First step into Shadowbringers? You get the idea.
