How much time has gone by...

If you want to go by patch 2.0-2.1 (112 days interval or 1 story year = 1 major patch), it's been 15 years. At the end of 2.0, Minfillia still referred all events of 2.0 as '5 years ago', but it was just before 7th astral era started (at patch 2.1), so we can assume a new calendar year had started.

15 years seems WAY too long. I'd guess that game event time has been more or less following real time, and about five years worth of events have happened between 2.0 and now.

I like to think ingame-clock year as an episode. There's roughly 20 episodes (20 ingame eorzean year), per real year or season. So yeah it's roughly 5 tv seasons.
