Time jump between 1.0 and ARR - how long?

I searched and skimmed through several pages and apologize if this has already been asked/answered.

Has there been any statement about how much time is expected to lapse between the end of 1.0 and the start of A Realm Reborn? By this, I don't mean the time it takes to transfer the data to the new hardware, but rather the in-game passage of time that will take place after Meteor [presumably] falls, before we're unleashed into this new world. The trailer suggests that we'll be preserved as time passes, and the new screenshots suggest that there's been a notable passage of time for the land to kind of repair itself, but I haven't heard anything has been said about whether it will be a few months, a few years, decades, centuries, etc? :confused:

Many from the RP community on Balmung are particularly curious about this in order to help plan the transition of their characters' and their respective stories, but I can certainly see how anyone captivated by the story would be interested to know just how far into the future we're about to be thrust. :cool:

If this hasn't already been addressed, is it something that a community rep could inquire about for us? Thank you!!

Maybe 20 years after. You can rebuild many things in 20 years.

Not a broken heart :(

Maybe we'll find this out when.. you know.. it actually happens.

Literally, your real reaction to the jump would be the same as your character's because it would be unexpected and you would be doing a big "huh?"

And now we're all sad.

Yoshi-p said it's near future.
according to the town in screenshots, I think it can be like 1 year after meteor falls... some broken one, and partial already rebuilt.
whole meteor fall into the sea... bring flood and icy...
maybe cus the meteor, it shock our echo too much and we fall into coma, then we woke up months after.

As Eva said, it's mostly for our planning for roleplay. We know that the character's reaction would be, as you said, "huh?!" but.. there are people in the community who are debating aging their characters rather than going with the time jump in their RP (survivors), and they certainly couldn't do that if it turns out to be 100 years later.

I really hope someone from the Dev team can give us this little bitty spoiler!

The guy in the trailer certainly looks aged at points

Agreed. I would like to know because I've been considering playing my character's descendant if it's far enough in the future.

Since the majority of roleplayers play Miqo'tes, just roleplay that cat girls don't age! Crisis averted! :p

Naturally, I keed...

Maybe... ;)

Wrinkles on my taru, do not want.

I am wondering this as well for the same reasons mentioned above. I want to know how to plan out the RP on my characters for 2.0.

Here

This thread discusses in nauseating detail. Conclusion: no one knows.

edit: oh. RP thread. my bad X_X. Same conclusion tho... xD

count how many years will it take inside eorzea and figure it out
a year in erozea is 18 days 16 hours irl so i'd say around 1.5 year

well from what the dev originally said a while back, players finishing events in 1.0 will be recognized in 2.0 for what they did, this may not directly mean that they are legendary or famous but could just mean NPCs from 1.0 who survived recognize them in 2.0 eg, The Generals, Cid, ect.

Also i think some of the regular NPCs of the Lancer Guild are also shown standing around during the test vid that was released a week back so it may not be that long in the future. Personally i hope it is very long into the future cause i want to feel like my Char carries weight / is important in 2.0 :x

ermmm think you didn't read OP's post. Was not asking about rl time when will we have it in our hands to play, it was asking how much time passes in game from the events of 1.0 to 2.0.

the story is so similar to the manga/anime fairy tail that i bet any money, it's 7 years in the future.

I hope its longer instead of shorter. Say 25 years instead of 1-7. I am hoping its not years before we have to find out though, AM I RIGHT!? (Nyuk Nyuk, /em elbow nudge)

Thank you for the responses so far. It seems like there is no definite answer yet to this question, but a lot of interesting speculation about how long our characters may be in cryostasis (figuratively speaking of course).

There doesn't seem to be any evidence yet to support whether or not the various NPC's also get preserved and make that shift forward in time with us. If that's the case, it's entirely possible we all could make a leap 500 years into the future along with Cid and the others and just kind of pick up where we left off.

Another question that this presents would be whether new characters created after ARR expected to have been born in that realm's timeframe and ignorant to the events of 1.0 that led up to the fall of Dalamud and everything (apart from history lessons or what have you).

Personally I am indifferent to whether it's 5 months or 500 years and will be perfectly happy either way. But, as has been suggested by some of the other role-players who have responded, their plans post-ARR may hinge heavily on how long or short this span of time is. For myself, I've enjoyed following the story so far and I'm mostly just curious, and wondering such thing as whether we can expect to see some aged versions of some of the NPC's that may not have made the jump forward with us.

While it is fun to speculate on this and I certainly don't mind waiting for the release of ARR to find out, I do hope that the Devs can get an answer for us and give us a little spoiler here. ;)

I for one would like to know for backstory reasons. I have an extensive plot in the makings for my character post-2.0 based on events that occured during this unknown time skip. But the main reason I want to know is to plan out what happened to my character's friends and adoptive family. Heck, some of my character's younger friends (providing they survived Dalamud) may be old enough to actually create as alts by then.

Come on SE~! Tell us~! I'll give all of you cuddles if you do~ big snuggly cuddles! You all like cuddles, right?

Bump for interest

Thing is there is no direct answer at this point in time. It just says we're sent beyond the reach of time "Until now" there is no mention of how many years. Now going by looks isn't the best way to go either. Some people have the look of aging quicker than others example. IRL I'm a 31 years old but I look like I'm at best in my early to mid 20's (some people even go so far as to jokingly say I look like I'm 12) When I'm with my YOUNGER brother I get carded for alcohol beverages while he doesn't (Even when my grey hair isn't colored). So I'd say wait it out by the time a Realm Reborn starts up we'll know how many years have past since Dalamud fell and collided with the world.

so from what i read in a another thread that the time jump is 5 years.


first of all, damn that was fast for 5 years.
