I Math'd Out Some Useless Numbers And Found Some Very Amusing ... "facts"

Recently I got asked how old the Warrior of Light would be if ffxiv didn't take place in a time bubble, and days actually passed time in game. So being the curious little bug I am, I math'd it out.

DISCLAIMER: For the purpose of this, I'm not accounting for any 24 hr maintenance, and I'm going to call a year in ffxiv as 365 in game days on the grounds that I want to.


To begin, every day in Eorzea lasts 70 minutes in real time, which means every 24 hours, 20.57 in-game days pass. To be more scientifically accurate, 20.572 Rough Eorzean Days. (RED for short)

According to 5 seconds in google, 1.0's official launch was August 27th, 2013. That brings us to 2748 days since launch at the time of typing this.

If we apply our RED conversion to that, we come to 56531.856 in-game days since 1.0 official launch not accounting for any maintenance time. OR in more common terms...

6 lominsan AFKs

If we go ahead and say, based on no actual evidence anywhere other than that I want to make this more interesting, that an Eorzean year is approximately 365 days long, then we come to ...

154.882 years!

And then we subtract 5 in-game years due to Louisoix time shenanigans sending the WoL 5 years in the future, we NOW come to....

149.882 years!! Woah!

What does this information mean?? The warrior of light is INCREDIBLE at moisturizing. but also that we have a 150th birthday coming up VERY SOON apparently!

Happy birthday WoLs! Its been 150 years apparently !


Now, I know what you're thinking. And yes I have that covered.

Since we're now at 149.882 years, that means that we're just under 12% of an Eorean Year away from the 150th anniversary of Journey's begin.

12% of a year would be 43.8 days, which means.................. We're two days away.

So in conclusion, about 2 days from today is the 150th anniversary of our journey start, so long as we consider an Eorzean year 365 in game days

So basically march 8th is the big 150.

I could also research how many times the game has gone down for 24hr mait. but i only have so much attention span, so im choosing to die on this hill.

Thank you for reading.

Also this was typed just before midnight on 3/6, so actually it's one day. TOODLES!
