TIME PARADOX IMMINENT!

In FFXI the storyline was that we did not die by the shadow lord and the 3 city with jeuno save us all . But what really happen was that altana love us to much she send us to other dimension because we really did die by shadow lord. Get it? the joke was it be funny if SE pull that again and 6+year later we found out we really did die by bahamut but louisoix love us so much that he send us to a fake world and only seem like 5year have gone by.

I guess not a lot of people would get the FFXI reference if they have not play ffxiv in the last 3years lol. i found that out by a friend who told me the story and i thought that was bullshit what they came up with and i'm happy i left before that.

Actually it was the Abyssea storyline In the Abyssea realm, we died trying to kill Promathia, so he absorbed Sel'teus and became Shinryu (spoilers, the boss of Abyssea)

In Wings of the Goddess, we don't necessarily die, but yeah there is an alternate Vana'diel where the Shadow Lord DOES win (spoilers: Lilisette's doppelganger Lilith comes from this realm). Who's is the REAL Vana'diel? Ask Lilisette or Lilith!

I really don't want XIV to go through another Wings of the Goddess/Abyssea thing..while it's fun "peeking into the past", I wouldn't touch that with a 39 1/2 foot pole with the lore XIV has...especially with..y'know..Bahamut asploding everything <_<

This is exactly why I stopped playing XI midway through the WOTG expansion. That all sounds awful.

Yeah the main scenario story was just...LOLWUT?

But the nation storylines, especially Windurst, were what made that expansion worth it.

WoTG was the best storyline based expansion imo.

Untouched by the passing of the seasons obviously means we are not aging.... So as far as we are concerned ...it's time travel.

Not necessarily it could also mean, us being tuck away between space and time for 5 years, then the spell wears off and we come back. That's not time travel but hibernation. That would also make us "untouched by the seasons that past (or the years that pass) Also not affected by whats going on during those 5 years.


If you all watched DoctorWho more often, you wouldn't be so confused with actual time travel and being placed in a rift between time&space.

So... where's the confirmation that we weren't sent directly to the future and that we're simply in some sorta frozen state outside of time?
From all I've read it could be either/or. Everyone is acting as if there's something that says one way or the other 100%. I'm curious as to why.

There is still another half to the trailer, that SE is saving for opening sequence for 2.0, it should explain more & how we get out of the rift.

That sounds like flowery language for time travel to me... -_-


'cause, there's no functional difference between being untouched by time and emerging 5 years later and simply being sent directly 5 years into the future.
So, can someone explain to me how this is any different than time travel into the future based on what is written there?

If you where hibernating, then there would be a difference. eg. When an animal hibernates for the winter, do they time skip to 'Spring' or do they hibernate for a set period of time, and emerge from their dwelling place.

Same concept here.

We will be placed into a place outside of time, but we will be travelling into the future at a rate of one second per second. Then when everything is gravy again, we'll get pulled back into Eorzea.

I wouldn't really call it at a rate of one second per one second since the full game will be about by the summer. Maybe 1.5 seconds per second.

Time travel gets complicated after post #10...

Think sleeping beauty, but with Roegaedyn, Moogles and giant ass Bahamut that just rained unholy fire down upon us
