What lore do you ignore?

[Lousis]

Everything, mostly because all of FFXIV's setting + Lore would drastically improve had it been set in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. Evil Emperor Zurg > All FFXIV antagonists.

Also solves the Sundering debate by having it as a result of the Heed 'infecting' the Star's very Aether core with Profane rituals, forcing the surviving Ancients off to another planet(guideded by Hades) while Venat sunders the planet to prevent the Star from falling into Heed hands. Zodiark was conceived to fight off the Heed(which worked) but was unfortunately semi-compromised by the machinations of the Invaders once the Heed were fully driven off from the world. Hermes while excited to meet his first alien species/race, was unfortunately the first to be killed by Guzelian himself.

Meanwhile the Meteions basically continue to find new species to meet whilist documenting other stars to understand each culture, not knowing the first alien species that they introduce to Etheyris would also be their last for several millennias. On the plus side, thanks to the Little Green Men(LGM)s the Meteions could manage their Dynamis alot better.
