EEII solves this with ruthless precision. The book acts as a "hard reboot" of your memory. It canonizes the timeline of the Heavensward post-patches, clarifying exactly how long the Scions were scattered, and the exact political chain of succession in Ishgard post-reformation. For Stormblood , it lays out the logistics of the Ala Mhigan resistance that the game’s rushed 4.0 MSQ often glossed over. The first volume was famous for its "Tales from the Calamity" short stories.
