スレッド: Current Timeline of Events from 2.0 On

The lore book itself says from Limsa Lominsa it’s 2 months to Doma and 2 weeks to Old Sharlayan.

Carvallain said he could make it a bit faster, but Hingashi is also further away than Doma and our ship got dragged off its original course.

Yugiri was at sea for “many moons” before making it to Eorzea.




There’s nothing in-game that says it’s smaller. If the planet was smaller and also had less mass, that would affect things from how objects move and the size and shape of mountains.

It’s easier to assume that the planet is the same size as Earth and that writers have no sense of scale than the alternative.

That poses a problem for the Doman troops reaching Ghimlyt then doesn't it? Are we supposed to be fending off the Garleans for months?

The writers obviously just ignored it for the sake of the narrative. The writers also make it out to be that we're all in a time bubble so they're not paying exact attention to the lore at all times and as frustrating as it is to people super into lore, they will ignore it for the story. For better or worse, FFXIV isn't that type of story where everything is chained by the lore. They can, will, and have ignore or just make up lore to keep the story going.

But the lore book itself states that it's 2 months from Doma and that's the highest authority we have on the matter. If you REALLY want to look at everything that happens in the game under a magnifying glass, then I guess they did hold the Garleans off for months. If you're writing RP or fan fiction and are serious about the lore, it's going to be 2 months.

It makes no sense to ignore or write off what little we do have of lore to propose off-the-wall ideas such as "the world is tiny but somehow still has the same mass as Earth" when there's nothing to suggest that except that parts of the writing don't line up.


And if you're looking at the twins as a measuring stick and are super serious about calculating time despite the fact that the writers aren't, then they can never be older than their teens because there's an Elezen who is confirmed 20 years old and uses the adult Elezen model.

Ultimately nothing in the game is going to match exactly to timelines suggested in dialogue because the writers aren't writing the story that way. It's nice for a bit of fun of trying to figure stuff out but if you spend any more thought on it, it's going to make your head hurt.

dont forget our little deture with the evil demon kraken thingy. also we have to take into account how much the wood the ship is made of can handle so that would impact the speed to an extent.

My memory wants to place the Carvallain mentioning it around the time Tataru is blackmailing him. When there's talk about how you're supposed to report everything you get from a ship you pirated to the Yellow Jackets, but on occasion when it comes to having pirated Garlean ships someone might not notice you not mentioning a whole engine. Speaking of wooden ships are we all assuming that they are all late 1700s if not mid 1800 wooden ships? As early wooden ship models would have needed to take longer.

Coming at me or anyone really with a, "You're taking it too seriously bro." Is more or less a reductive insult.

I’m not coming at you with anything nor was that directed at you and I think you misunderstood the text of my post.

It was a general “this is an exercise in futility”.


What I was trying to say was:

For everything else (as in the rest of the thread’s main topic and not just ships), you can dig as much as you want, but when it’s with something that the writers deliberately did not give us enough information on, you’re not going to find any satisfying answers and not everyone’s going to agree with it.
