1.0 took place in 1572 of the 6th Astral Era.
The fall of Dalamud and the release of Bahamut ushered in the 7th Umbral Era.Â
5 years have passed since then.
Technically, this makes the current year the 5th year of the 7th Umbral Era and not 1577 as many have voiced. I'd wager to say that year 1572 of the 6th AE is equal to year 1 of the 7th UE.
Every time we enter a new era (be it astral or umbral), the sequential numbering of the years returns back to 1. If this wasn't the case, the current year would be something way over 5000 at the very least.Â
Just wanted to bring this to light since I've seen a lot of dates in people's wikis and even the player written timeline reflect the year in ARR as 1577.

Quote:Does time reset for each Era, ie when Umbral Eras happen, does it become Year 0?
Yes. Timers for each era (both Astral and Umbral) reset (but at year 1, not 0Â).
