This episode dives into the instances of time travel we’ve seen so far in Final Fantasy XIV, and how those events have shaped the world in game. What does the timeline look like after Endwalker? How does Yoshi-P’s answer fit in with what actually happens in-game? And what ever became of the 8th Umbral Calamity Timeline? We dive into all of this and more, so prepare for a headache because we’re diving into the temporal mechanics of FFXIV.
Special Bonus: Ayumi rant about time travel.
Special thanks and huge shout out to The Lorerunner for laying out types of time travel so well in his Loriums.

I'm hesitant to discuss time until we know more about the twelve one of which has dominion over time however there's some weird mysteries. Venat seemed to of been waiting for us combined with the later reveal that azem may be able to see into the future
Azem the (Time) traveler
This talk of "Paradoxes" makes me think,
Have Black Mage ability names been foreshadowing themes of the next expansion?
Stormblood's: Between the Lines & Polyglot – Between the Lines – In ShB we cross the rift/line between shards;
Polyglot – could refer to the fey & ancient languages we encounter, alongside simply the difference in Norvrandt's language compared to the source's.
Shadowbringers: Despair, Umbral Soul, & Xenoglossy
Despair – obvious theme to EW
Umbral Soul – Hydaelyn, that's all i got
Xenoglossy – can refer to the song of obilvion, and also alien civilization
Endwalker: Amplifier, Paradox
Even within Endwalker itself:
Amplifier – Dynamis blah blah
Paradox – The time travel described in this video
So perhaps next expansion will expound on time travel related consequences brought up, and with regards to Amplifier, perhaps there'll be some kind of upscaling via the G-warrior or dynamis.
