The actual physical events of the canon? No, not so much. I classify significant events as either story-specific or meta-significant. Nothing really happened in the FE III rewrite to change specific meta-significant events that would impact other works. That was never the goal. The meta-narrative remains unchanged. Most of the details about how it happened might have transpired and some backstories changed, but the meta-narrative was left intact, aside from one small change to Spectre's backstory that might bleed into Crossroads.

The hard part from a consistency standpoint was writing the characters in a manner consistent with where they're at in the storyline. The last time I wrote Selu, Sarth, Cassi, and Milya, they were considerably older, with a lifetime of experiences, kids, and even grandkids. But fifty-odd years earlier, they were a lot younger, with different insecurities, flaws, and temperaments. Writing them in a way that made sense for where they were at in FE III compared to where their story arc left them in FE VI was a real challenge.
