Portents and Prophecy... for next Sunday??

[Rutelor]

It's been an interesting couple of weeks in the continent of Eorzea... Perceptive players noticed it unaided, but for the less sharp-eyed among us, the game development team made sure it didn't go undetected: Mysterious PC characters appearing both in cities and in camps around the continent, and letting forth much to say about the bizarre events of late; some amateur reporter's write-up from the Black Shroud ending up on the Lodestone; and all of this matching the blurry outline of that mysterious poem Yoshida quoted on his New Year salute to the player base.

Basically it boils down to this: One of the two mysterious characters appearing randomly around the world announced ominously that before the sunset, on the 6th sun of the 7h moon (one presumes of the current Hydaelyn year), the seventh purification of the Mezaya (pronounced Messiah?) prophecy of old will come to pass. This will usher the 7th umbral era. The sixth purification, the Dusty Tomes say, was by water: torrential rains that flooded the world. The seventh, one gathers from the words of the stranger, will be by fire. However, the second of the two mysterious characters, appearing in cities, warns the peoples of Eorzea about false prophets come to the land.

Now, if the prophecy is true, the date that the sixth sun of the seventh Hydaelyn moon will correspond to, on our Earth Calendar, is Sunday, May 15th... As of this writing (close to midnight on Sunday, May 8 EDT) the in-game clock informs us that this hour corresponds to the afternoon of the 6th sun in the 2nd moon, leaving almost exactly 5 moons to the day of the prophesy.

5 moons = 5 x 8 x 4 suns =160 suns = 160 hours = 6.6 days = Next Sunday afternoon.

This would also make it next Monday, May 16th, on the afternoon, in Japan: Right in the middle of a month in which Yoshida has already announced no update was forthcoming.

So... How many of you think there will be something special/terrible happening that day, and how many think it is a false prophecy?

Is this the vague indication of an update to come on Monday the 15th/16th? Or is it something that has already been added in patch 1.17a?

Or should we listen to Alfgar, the second stranger, and ignore all this, which could very well be pseudo-prophetic muck?

Your thoughts, please...
