What lore do you ignore?

[aveyond-dreams]

In order for me to be able to tolerate the actions of my character I have to pretend that the whole of Endwalker simply did not happen.

Nothing really. Sure there are parts of the lore I very much disagree with/wish where different, we all have, but if I decided to ignore or mentally twist any piece of lore I had issues with then I would never be able to enjoy a fictional world whole haha! For better or worse I like to experience these worlds the way writers and creatives crafted them as, though people are free to enjoy media however they want. Thats just a personal preference of mine and lore/story quality is always subjective.

I think the only thing that I may come close to ‘ignoring’ is how much time has passed since ARR and Endwalker. I seem to remember someone on the creative team saying its only been like a year or so, which just seems far to little a time scape (Especially if one considers the notion that we do every quest and story during the expansion/time its released) so until it officially said in-game (Which I do not think has happened yet?) then I like to believe its been a long time between adventures.

Yeah I don't buy the one year thing as we know in Stormblood there's at least two boat rides to Kugane. Which we get told is at least a few months. Unless we've all been confusing it with that being how long the trip would take without a secret ceruleum engine on one's ship with how long it actually took us. Either way I feel as though a year would be a tad short. I know they want people to have fun and give themselves some flexibility as to how long it all has taken, but it would be nice if there was more of an idea. Especially when you poke and NPC and they're all oh its been quite awhile since I saw you last yet you could in theory do two different patches back to back and thus not been months for you the player.
