Getting out of hand

Was under the impression that all the raids are canon, just that theyre more side content (unlike lets say seasonal).

I mean other than CT, Omega Weapon and Alexander are directly relevant to the MSQ as without Alex or Omega weapon, there is no way for CT to have traveled to the first as the data collected from both those raids allowed Cid and the ironworks to create the thing in the bottom of CT.

Beyond that, voidark, rabanastar and the like is tangentially related to the MSQ through passing. So its all canon. Just it never was required moving forward in the MSQ.

In regards to that though, this just feels like a non issue in the end. It's not like every single raid is a "must" now, just the single one that is directly and inextricably related to the MSQ for ShB

Oh certainly. But it's not a main plot point for an entire expansion like CT is now. It too was side story content but is now main story content due to certain reveals in ShB. That's why I don't see the others becoming MSQ or mandatory like CT. I'm calling them canon but I really meant Main Canon. Where the others are side content.

Raids are becoming less optional because there is only one dungeon per patch now

Ever since coming back to ff14 I have not had any negative issues with the community besides gold selling bots...but what mmo doesn't have those. Then again I was playing WoW and well that community....oofh...I am also on goblin and Goblin apparently is famous for having a pretty nice community.
