Lore Timeline?

But if it were 2 7A, then we'd be at 26 years since Doma fell, and 21 years since the fall of Ala Mhigo. That's what's bugging Moose, and now me.

Perhaps that's the real reason the Encyclopaedia Eorzea timeline cuts off at 1572...

Thank you, lol.

Important Note #1 Yes, it is the inconsistency that gives me pause. This is the only example of a concrete year of time movement (usually it's vague to preserve some semblance of normalcy) and it appears alongside other dates that did not move with it.

Important Note #2 Yes, it's entirely conceivable that more than a year of time has passed in the main scenario, but that's not the same thing as the open world experiencing a movement of time. Based on what we know, no matter what happens, even if you were to cram 5,000 days into the main scenario, the world shouldn't age into 2 Seventh Astral Era. It's a Simpsons-like "time-stoppage" to keep the text in order. If that changes, we need to know as soon as possible so we can start <winces at the thought> being ready to calculate what year things happened based on where the NPC is and when they were last updated when they say how long ago it was.
