Right? Which I know will bring me at odds against my belief that taking down Titan or Garuda would be a much more Herculean effort than taking down Ifrit. I actually don't know yet how I'll handle someone showing me Titan-egi or Garuda-egi, -_-.
That's part of why I reserve the right to not RP if I think someone's pushing the canon too far (for my personal tastes). The lore is there, yes, and people will choose to follow it to varying degrees. We all have our little headcanons of how things related to our characters actually work - one summoner's take on canon may be different from the next, so it would boil down to incompatible RP.
If you play a SMN who would, logically, keep track of when Titan and Garuda show up, and then suddenly another RPer comes up and their character makes contradictory claims to that knowledge, providing IC proof (in this case the egi)... you can just choose to disregard that particular interaction.
When joining a group with a joint storyline, though, these things should probably be discussed beforehand so everyone is on the same page. It wouldn't do for the group to have established that their particular headcanon is that Titan and Garuda have been out of reach for decades, and then a 20 year old SMN joins the group with both egi and starts showing them off, disregarding what was previously agreed on.
For me it's similar to like... someone's character having the Echo and proving it by knowing things that you've revealed about your own character OOC, but not IC. Yes, someone with the Echo *could* find out, but if you don't want that to happen, nobody can force it on your character just because it's doable in-game.
