#yes it is included because it gave us the travesty of a WoH paralogue but seen through Larva's eyes

I seriously doubt KT's statement that Fódlan has 10000 years of lore, or at least in the way that piece of information was portrayed in the interview; they might have 10000 years' worth of worldbuilding that was cut from the game because it was either irrelevant to the story and characters or unfinished and contradictory to the lore in the final product, maybe even both, but the idea that they actually had an unimaginable amount of good and deep worldbuilding for the entirety of Fódlan but chose to only portray a fraction of that worldview for the game, especially when what lore is portrayed in Three Houses is very often an inconsistent and illogical mess, sounds utterly ridiculous to me and more like a hype tactic to try and capitalize off 3H's reputation as the “deep and serious war game with unparalled worldbuilding, story and characters”.

because it was either irrelevant to the story and characters or unfinished and contradictory to the lore in the final product

That's part of the issue, anon lol

I've been joking about it with friends, but if the 10k years of lore reveal, somehow, that humans have always vyed for power and created society where some people are treated like trash, regardless of lizard blood and Sothis's intervention - a certain someone's spiel will suddenly become completely meaningless, just like someone's route and ending.

The lore that is portrayed in the Fodlan games is purposedly obtuse and illogical, as you noticed!, because of CF and Supreme Leader - we cannot know the ins and outs of the Insurrection of the Seven, we cannot realistically know what happens to Anselma/Patricia, the WoH will never be portrayed from the Empire's POV, etc etc.

It definitely is a "hype" or rather, some sort of aftersale service boast tactic to pretend the world is large and has a lot of lore and is Very Deep (tm) - because if the games didn't have to dance around Hresvelg Grey, we could get the final word on the Insurrection, whatever happened in Ordelia, why Loog broke up with Adrestia, why Adrestia tried to conquer Dagda'n'Brigid, why people who sided with Nemesis ultimately sided with Willy'n'Rhea, etc etc.

I know the devs were lazy and one of them even forgot the plot of Houses when playing Nopes, but imo the 10k years of lore, bar being a giant joke, reeks of the "we didn't want to invalidate one particular route and one specific character by revealing too much about the world works" argument, even if by combing the script here and there, we can still guess that Supreme Leader's utopia is a mix between what Willy first wanted for Adrestia (and it fell apart the second he left) and what Nemesis/the Agarthans planned for Fodlan (ruling by strength) which isn't supposed to be seen in a positive light.
