    minimum from where? where exactly are you pulling this from? time bubbles are actually very common when you have expansions that take place over an extended period of time (in game).
    Well, SE managed 5 Expansions and 6 mini-expansions over 13 years for their last game and didn't make continuity errors like this. Making a continuity mistake and trying to hand-wave it away with some weird time-travel logic (seriously? flash-backs, time-bubbles? wtf) is just a lazy way of saying "We didn't think of continuity or we did, but we didn't care". I just hold the dev team to a higher standard than most of you guys it seems.

    Keep settling for less and less it what you will get.

    FFXI avoided continuity errors by not including characters whose status quo ever changed in sidequests. (Or, in the case of the Shantotto expansion, having exceedingly lame excuses for NPCs remaining in place when they shouldn't.) It would be a waste of effort to account for every possibility, so if you want continuity, it means that any character that appears in any non-MSQ quest can never, ever die or have their status significantly changed. I'm willing to accept story contradictions to avoid that.
