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

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

    No, though some people might argue for Rip Van Winkle, which is widely considered a time-travel narrative. However, how does being "sent beyond the reach of time" equate to cryogenic sleep? It seems like you're handily conflating the two.

    As far as what's been shown to us, the characters are moving between two different points in time, unaffected by time's passage relative to Eorzea. See time dilation.
