I think your right Anonymoose but this event kind of makes me wish they moved the timeline forward a bit. It starts to feel silly otherwise. Its going to feel more so as time goes on. I mean imagine in 5.0. By that stage we would have become the WoL from a no name adventurer, defeated the Black Wolf and the Ultima Weapon, Formed a company of soldiers, Been betrayed by that company of soldiers, killed probably about 2 dozen primals, gone into exile in Ishgard, gotten exonerated, travelled across Dravania, ended the dragonsong war, seen two settlements built from either ruins or from scratch, watched Ishgard go through major political restructuring, fought the WoD, fought a war with the Garleans, Liberated Ala Mhigo, sailed to Othard, Liberated Doma, tracked down omega, gone to where ever Ivalice is, and god knows what else, all in the space of one year?

Becomes a little unbelievable unless Hydealyn has really long years.
