(Spoilers) Official timeline for the main story events?

[nekroturkey]

Regarding the multiple main story events in the game (RotZ, CoP, etc) I was wondering if there was some sort of official timeline outlining what events happen before others.

For instance, I'm playing through CoP now and it seems that the story takes place before the events of RotZ, even though RotZ was released first.

Wings of the Goddess (Past)

CoP takes place after RotZ, because the Duke is replaced in CoP but our lovely new Trust, but the events of RoV take place before Apoc. Nigh from what I gather thus far.

there are Different versions of the CSs in RoV depending on your progress. I've been playing them on my mule to see the difference, while wasting time.

I've only seen 2 different CSs so far, are there any more than that?

CoP happens right after Rotz and WotG happens before all of them, that is for sure. I can't say exactly where ToAU and SoA sits in the timeline, but they are at least 20 years after the Crystal War for sure, like RotZ. Abyssea is an alternative reality dimension where Promathia had won the final battle at the end of CoP. RoV is I think before CoP because no one, including the player, seem to be familiar with emptiness.

The starting point of the first chapter is emptiness but the emphasis is on the mothercrystals and NPCs from RotZ storyline for now. Also considering that no CoP NPC appeared in the first chapter, I think we will be seeing some in the second chapter and the story will be more intertwined with CoP. There was also question to the devs in the Famitsu interview about NPCs who are to appear in RoV and they evaded the question about Nag'moloda, who is originally a CoP NPC.
