... It's this little bit that gets me. Mostly because I saw someone talking casually of just "going back and forth" between Gyr Albania and Kugane. The trip from Limsa to Kugane is already two months... plus whatever the travel time is from there to the Fringes (or, heck, to Ala Mhigo proper). It's like... that's not something you can just do, aetherytes notwithstanding. And even then... wouldn't it take quite a lot of personal anima (not to mention the teleportation fees) to be just jumping back and forth?
But more on the point of the topic (and less my own personal whinings), I definitely think that a decent amount of time needs to have passed from the beginning of Stormblood to the end. Not just for the travel times to Kugane and back again... but the on-foot travel and - perhaps more importantly - the amassing of forces for the various events. Getting everyone together for Doma Castle isn't something that happens in just a day, right?
I mean, we're talking about gathering together troops and executing operations that lead to the liberation of not one, but two nations. That's not something that happens in a matter of days. As such, I definitely wouldn't mind seeing whatever rough time-frame you have there, Sounsyy. Figuring that all out just on its own might be a fun discourse.
