Yeah I was also thinking about the time travel part..if he's able to send people through time and space, why not send us back in time to stop all of this from happening rather than sending us into a future which is even worse than the present?:x
At least right now, Eorzea can still be saved...

If I had to guess I'd say it's because Eorzea currently cannot be saved from Dalamud. As we see in the trailer the sky is indeed falling and a small moon is targeting us. From my understanding we're some of the only survivors because of his actions. If he doesn't send us forward to after the impact we'd likely just die anyway.

Yeah like what all the other peeps said. Traveling back in time would cause a Paradox or an alternate timeline which either changes nothing or screws everything over. Halting our age and sending us into the future, basically cryogenically freezing us and thawing us later if you want to think about it that way, since time is relative makes a lot more sense. It's a space time sort of thing. Maybe he cast teleport, threw us in a gravity chamber (since the more gravity is placed on you, the faster time goes by around you) and had a timer on when it teleports back. Look into Einstein's relativity.

I had a hard time understanding that. My brain is only so strong. XD

On-Topic: ITS ABOUT F-ING TIME THAT WE GOT HELP IN GAME! In most games, We would've died there, Then the NPCS would be like. "Oh. This adventurer Died... We shouldve helped.. But didnt. Teehee!"

Because going back in time isnt possible. And shouldnt be in this specific world.

Mainly because that would be boring. I like what they're doing. Time travel into the future is actually possible.


Edit: I just want to know how the new races come into play from all this.

Actually, the narrator says "Yet the bravest of us were spared. Sent beyond the reach of time, where we remained... Until now".
That does not actually indicates being tossed into the future for me!
Actually what it looks like is "Dalamud's about to hit- You adventurers, go chill in the X-Zone for a while, we need you alive after it crashes".

It's not like he managed to throw people into the future, he just tossed them 'elsewhere' for a bit.
