670BF[]

What source do we have for the fact stated in that year, namely that Yeul predicted the fall of Paddra? I know it lists it as this as well on Yeul's page (precisely as 170 years before the War of Transgression which was 500BF), but Serah's page mentions Paddra being founded 670BF, the very same year. Which of these is true? And where does that information come from? I would like to verify it myself, but I need a hint on where to look for it. MirrorshardSceada 21:26, October 26, 2012 (UTC)

The source for it is here. As Serah states that Paddra was found 680 years ago and the convesation during which that statement was said happened in 10 AF (or "1X AF" if you prefer), it allows to define the year of Paddra's founding. Sorry for the late reply.—Kaimi (999,999 CP/5 TP) 11:32, May 9, 2013 (UTC)

Type-0[]

OK, I noticed this in the page code of the 1000 AF header

<!-- In theory it should be 1000 AF, but 999 AF would make it closer with FFType-0. -->

Someone mind explaining what this means, if anything? -- Some Color Mage ~ (Talk) 12:29, July 12, 2013 (UTC)

In early concepts, Valhalla was meant to be a world in year 999 and there is something regarding year 999 in Type-0 which I don't remember what is it. Please ask a person who is more versed with Type-0 than me. Also, I wrote that comment if my memory serves me right.—Kaimi (999,999 CP/5 TP) ∙ 12:32, July 12, 2013 (UTC)

Vanille (and Fang's) Age[]

While recently watching a stream of LIGHTNING RETURNS, the streamer got to the point of completing the side quest with Bhakti. Its Datalog entry was quite...interesting: it said that Vanille had same robotic friend 1,700 years ago. So since the gap between ending of FFXIII and start of LR is 1,000 years, it appears that Vanille would be born more than 7 centuries before the start of FFXIII, but it doesn't make sense. Even if Vanille was born in 719 BF and Fang in 721 BF (one of them or both could born year or two later), and FFXIII Scenario Ultimania talks about "666 BF" theory, it doesn't make sense as they'd be around 40-45 years old at the time and it appears that the developers might incorrectly went with AF method of dating things rather than BF as in BF dating starts with the highest number and ends on the lowest.—Kaimi (999,999 CP/5 TP) ∙ 21:16, February 9, 2014 (UTC)
