    New era

    Anyone think the three GC commanders declaring a new era was kinda weird?
    Previous eras went on for thousands of years, and were ended by some big event.
    And what about now? An era that lasted 5 years? After ee killed ONE enemy commander and three of his generals? Cmon...

    Probably more akin to a new political figure declaring a new era. Any major change, like toppling some powerful figures, would inspire grandiose comments like this.

    This is very true. Also Ultima and the Primals were defeated as well as the enemy commander and his generals. Everything lumped together would equal one very large threat defeated. Thus, the political figures are throwing out their grandiose comments! Well said Sadana!

    Though I do agree that 5 years is a tad short for an "era". Again, maybe just the vocabulary used by the leaders.

    Lol...i don't think there is a set rule to declare an era change, i guess a moon falling from the sky subsequently with an elder primal coming out it and laying waste to parts of eorzea wasn't big enough of an event?, well i guess the 3 leaders didn't think so either and they had to wait on your character to get rid of the invading army leaders first.

    Oh, Dalamud falling was what ended the previous 1500+ year era.

    I just wonder if in previous eras, they only came upon things like 1 enemy general and a handful of primals once a few thousand years?
    Because sure... primals were bad, but hardly to the scale of a MOON FALLING!

    We are still in the Umbral Era, Dalamud was only the beginning of the troubles.

    I'm pretty sure umbral eras are marked by a swing of destruction, and astral eras are marked by the realm recovering from said destruction, iirc

    The previous umbral events were natural disasters. Dalamud was a men-made disaster.
