Unless ARR specifically says otherwise, I take all 1.0 lore as continuing to be canon. For instance, Greenwrath used to be a huuuuuuuuuuge part of 1.0 Grid storyline, but ARR specifically states that the Elementals have been weakened by the destruction of the forest, so Greenwrath and Woodsin aren't as prevalent in the current storyline.Â
The only example of lore retconning I've personally seen has taken place in Ul'dah. They completely wiped out the lore behind the 1.0 classes Pugilist and Thaumaturge, which I was hugely disappointed in. However, they didn't give a lot of new lore to fill in the gap, so because I greatly preferred the 1.0 class lore to the ARR class lore, I still consider the 1.0 definitions of the classes canon. I just say the Guilds have gone through a bit of restructuring because of the calamity or something.
