What lore do you ignore?

[Cleretic]

If you could choose between ending up a random person in the modern FF14 world or the Ancient world, which would you choose? I'd choose the place where the number one cause of death is the decision to reroll out of boredom.

I've hated the question of 'where in FFXIV's world do you want to live' ever since Shadowbringers, because I feel it always needs the corollary of 'aside from Amaurot or the Crystarium'. They're the obvious answers to the point of being the boring answers that say nothing about you, because they're the ones written without surface-level, 'first paragraph of the wiki entry' (if not first sentence) flaws, so if they're admitted into the conversation then the entire discussion becomes either picking the boring obvious answers, or finding a stone to throw at them so the conversation can be interesting.

And for the Ancient world, yeah, Dorito is right: the main one is the fact that it burns to the ground. It's not the only flaw, I actually think the Ancient world sounds like sort of a horrifying place to live and 'but nobody fears death' is a thin comfort, but that's some secondary evidence.

Personally, my answer even with those two in contention is 'either Sharlayan or Radz-at-Han', because I have a long-term medical condition that I can't picture not existing in XIV's world, so I'm going to pick one of the two places that I'm fairly confident have fairly strong medical care. (The decider is 'which of these two cuisines do I feel the most willing to live with', which honestly does change every so often.) But I feel like, if I were to say this without preemptively shooting down Amaurot, the immediate followup would be 'why not Amaurot' despite Amaurot not having anything at all to say about my primary deciding factor.
