Chrono Fantasy XIV

The thing is, we don't travel to the future.

We're put in stasis in another dimension for the five years.

I don't think anything in XIV can travel forward and backward in time, more that it can take us to another dimension.

iirc the maws worked the same way in XI.

Where did they release this tidbit of information? The power of echo was certainly timetravel: when you interacted with people during the echo, they remembered in the present.

Gotta love these arbitrary definitions of what is and isn't time travel.

The most important thing I wanted to say in my post, is that I hope that Yoshi has a LONG story and make the game evolve and move into that line. I'm hoping to live the same story for years, not different stories with different characters each expansion pack, like FFXI or WoW expansion model, if we get expansions, I want them just empowering the same story and moving it forward.

The whole year dalamud event was even more epic because we could feel the development of the story in game, with the meteor growing in the sky, changes in the world, etc... I'd just like that but on a bigger scale, for 6 -7 years or more, and the Chrono Trigger way of story telling and to introduce new locations and such was really well tied, so I would like something similar with this game.

How about we get a DeLorean mount.

Where's that picture of Louisoix standing next to a DeLorean sayinf "Get in the car". We need that....

Realizing the end is nigh, Louisoix summons the last of his strength to call upon Althyk, the Keeper, god of space and time, to send those surviving heroes into an aetherial rift, where they are to remain untouched by the passing of the seasons until it is once again safe to emerge...and continue their struggle to forge Eorzea's future.
We await the return of FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn, and will look for you fellow adventurers in the dawn of a new Eorzea!

Would you say that someone who awoke from cryogenic sleep (if it were possible) would have time traveled?

It's also narrated in the first ARR trailer here:

The wording is quite specific in that we were sent into a place where we remained safely.

As for the power of the echo, we really don't know much about it. We could be reading and manipulating memories as far as we know.
