Playable kids in FFXIV

I wouldn't say you are wrong but on the other end saying he is, isn't quite right either.

My interpretation of this would be that the time pass but not the year. As stupid as it may sound.

(He is no dev btw).

Wasnt sure if he was or not, so I kinda did a catch all. Im not saying some of the story takes place within a year, or even most of what weve seen thus far. It's plausible. My point is as time goes on and more content gets jammed in, that plausibility is gonna get really ridiculous. Honestly, I thin that answer makes things more difficult than easy. I get that its a "Dont think about it" answer, but its one of those answers that just makes it all even more confusing.

snip.

That would work...kinda, except that time would still be progressing forward. Like I get if they need to insert content into an 'earlier phase'. Its like a wierd little adendum/retcon. Its minor in that regards. But the overall MSQ is where things get hung up. Even if you break down each section into time bubbles, time still progresses. As an example, if arr is 4 months, hw is 4 months, and SB is 4 months, an entire year has just passed. And that means ShB cannot be in the same year as ARR, but the following year at that point. Its plausible some of the MSQ happens in one year, but as more gets added, that being probable starts to fall apart. Itd eventually become the example I was trying to illustrate : You wouldnt say the entirety of ARR and HW happens in 3 days. That short of a time frame is rediculous. A year for ARR and HW makes sense, possibly even ShB. But theres gonna be a point where this wont work anymore.
