If they do, I'm going to laugh because it serves a large portion of the community right.
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
