I want to know how many years lore wise has gone by.
None in fact, lore wise the story exists in a kind of time bubble where even though the player might seemingly grow with the passage of time gameplay wise, barely any time has passed storywise.
As an example, the development team confirmed that the time between the end of ARR patch 2.55's story and the start of Heavensward was merely a few days to a few weeks at most, and apparently barely more time than that passed between

So most likely by Stormblood it's likely to have been barely six to eight months if that since the end of the Seventh Umbral Era. One of the loremasters would be able to clarify this further though, as I'm terrible with exact dates and times.
