Think of it more like the fountain of youth. It might exist but nobody has really made it yet, or if they have, they are not mass producing it.
I've seen some people rping this as an IC means to change races, sex, etc. What do the lore masters have to say?
I think the developers stating it's not lore would trump any 1.0 content. Personally, I dislike folk referencing 1.0 for lore guidance. The game sucked, flopped, and died. More importantly, we have no way to access any information in that game anymore, such as lines of dialogue. A quick search for "fantasia" on the lore finder website yields nothing.
1.0's lore wasn't retconned though. Its shitty battle system and server architecture was. The gameplay sucked. Not the MSQ, its quests or other content. And really, by the time Yoshi-P took over, it had fairly decent gameplay. But a bunch of bandaids could really only get so far.
On a side note, there are plenty of ways to access the information in the client. There's a 1.0 version of the FFXIV file Explorer. NPC scripts can be decompiled. (They're all lua). All text was stored client-side. There are a plethora of let's-play videos where people recorded all of the cutscenes. And that's not even touching the private server communities where you can replay all the cutscenes yourself. (Like how the cancelled Titan cutscene was found.)
