Thread: Time jump between 1.0 and ARR - how long?

I am wondering this as well for the same reasons mentioned above. I want to know how to plan out the RP on my characters for 2.0.

edit: oh. RP thread. my bad X_X. Same conclusion tho... xD

ermmm think you didn't read OP's post. Was not asking about rl time when will we have it in our hands to play, it was asking how much time passes in game from the events of 1.0 to 2.0.

the story is so similar to the manga/anime fairy tail that i bet any money, it's 7 years in the future.

Thank you for the responses so far. It seems like there is no definite answer yet to this question, but a lot of interesting speculation about how long our characters may be in cryostasis (figuratively speaking of course).

There doesn't seem to be any evidence yet to support whether or not the various NPC's also get preserved and make that shift forward in time with us. If that's the case, it's entirely possible we all could make a leap 500 years into the future along with Cid and the others and just kind of pick up where we left off.

Another question that this presents would be whether new characters created after ARR expected to have been born in that realm's timeframe and ignorant to the events of 1.0 that led up to the fall of Dalamud and everything (apart from history lessons or what have you).

Personally I am indifferent to whether it's 5 months or 500 years and will be perfectly happy either way. But, as has been suggested by some of the other role-players who have responded, their plans post-ARR may hinge heavily on how long or short this span of time is. For myself, I've enjoyed following the story so far and I'm mostly just curious, and wondering such thing as whether we can expect to see some aged versions of some of the NPC's that may not have made the jump forward with us.

While it is fun to speculate on this and I certainly don't mind waiting for the release of ARR to find out, I do hope that the Devs can get an answer for us and give us a little spoiler here.

I for one would like to know for backstory reasons. I have an extensive plot in the makings for my character post-2.0 based on events that occured during this unknown time skip. But the main reason I want to know is to plan out what happened to my character's friends and adoptive family. Heck, some of my character's younger friends (providing they survived Dalamud) may be old enough to actually create as alts by then.
