What the 2nd Sundering did was allow a lot of older material to be functionally compatible with only minor adjustments, verse the massive ones needed to make anything work in the SP era. For example, most of Dragon Heist would play effectively the same if you subbed Mirt for Larael and ignored the statue changes (they are both fairly minor elements of DH). Compare that to using the Myth Drannor box set in the SP, which you can't because THERE IS A LIVING CITY WHERE THE RUINS ONCE STOOD. I mean sure, there are still some changes; the 4e version is not ignored utterly and I actually like some of the 4e elements like Tymanther, but I'm not naive enough to see that what 5e did was try to push the reset button while keeping choice elements of the 4e run, (just like bringing back Bhaal and Myrkul from their prior-to-2e deaths is a retcon without reset). Honestly, its probably the best version of FR we've had if only for the fact its not overly tied to metaplot-hand-holding and much of the setting is partially backwards compatible.</blockquote>
