So, I finally re-read over some of the latest posts on the Lodestone, and I had previously overlooked that they actually gave us the year FFXIV is currently in.
It states that the Garlean Empire conquered Ala Mhigo in 1557, thirty-six years after the empire's founding. So, it's safe to say the empire came into existence in 1521, and the current year is 1572 of the Six Astral Era.
...Figured it's at least a worth noting, since actual years can now be referenced. Whether it's for past events, birthdays, etc. Unless this has already slipped by in lore and I've completely overlooked it until now.
