Current Eorzean Timeline

[Daemius]

6AE 1577 was the year 1.0 took place in.
All of 2.0 took place in the fifth year of the Seventh Umbral Era (7UE 5).
Post-2.0 takes place in the Seventh Umbral Era - year 1, or year 0 perhaps.

Dialogue will still refer to the Calamity as having taken place 5 years ago, so that they don't have to rewrite all the game's dialogue every year, and so that the story still makes sense for new players joining.

I'd encourage you to headcanon your own date based on how long you feel like the MSQ and other quests should have taken. Realtime works pretty well for me - as far as I'm concerned, my Warrior of Light has been in Ishgard for a bit over a year now.

I think you mean astral there but thanks for this. I thought 1.0 was 6AE 1572 not 1577. Your list makes sense. So yeah, technically we're in 7AE 0 or 1 and will be for as long as the time bubble exists. Most logical headcannon places it closer to 7AE 2-3 imo.

Fixed, thank you.
