Quick question.

[Daren]

What year was it here on earth when Palma got destroyed?

[Zucca]

Somewhere close to year 3370.

[Daren]

The year 3370? Holy crap, that's way farther into the future then I thought but hey nothing I can't work with! Thanks Zucca!

I do believe that is the number given in that "Phantasy Star Ultimate" thing at PSPages. It doesn't carry much water due to this statement:

Second, through an elaborate series of conjectures, we have found a way to translate the Space Century calendar into the Gregorian calendar we use here on Earth. We theorize that the spaceship Noah arrived in the Algo solar system 12 years before Phantasy Star I (SC 341.88) after a journey which lasted 203 years, meaning Noah was launched from Earth in SC 339.85. We arbitrarily chose an Earth date of 2157 for Noah's launch. Knowing that SC 339.85 and Earth year (EY) 2157 are the same, from there it is easy to convert dates from and to either calendar.

However, if you are simply using the information for a fanfic, you shouldn't have any issues plugging this into it- just don't expect to be able to use it in a debate.

See that's the thing, I'm in the process of writing something and I really need an exact date for this because I want it to be as close as possible to the original games. I don't want to screw this up you know...

[Zucca]

I had written long reply until this board lost my preview...
Anyway I write all short this time:
I remember the year from somewhere. It sure may be unoffical (and seems so).

Does anyone know (or have a theory) how time is measured in Algol? Since day on Earth propably isn't same in duration as in Mota, Palma or Dezo.
We know that Ryucross (or whatever, crystal planet?) rotates Algol (the star) around in 1000 years.

[BenoitRen]

There's no relation to Earthmen dates that I know of.

[Tanith]

Yeah, there's no relation. The PS Ultimate thing is massive fan conjecture based on totally arbitrary dates someone pulled out of their ass. There's nothing from Sega that tries to relate the AW calendar and the Gregorian calendar. Any date you decide on would probably be fine.

[Daren]

So nobody knows when the spaceship Noah actually came to Algo? I seem to remember something about them saying that they had to leave because "their" planet was unlivable or something... So if there are no dates to consider then one could just choose one with no restraints?
Zucca, I don't want to give out to much and the fact that most of my ideas are still unwritten and aren't flexed enough to explain anything in particular, I don't want to give out things that might change within the time I'm writing it. But, what I can say is that I'm writing a new script for an eventual game I'll make, a game that won't be done in any of the many game makers out there and a game that will be set on both Palma and Earth but mostly on the latter and will focus on Palma's past at the beginning of it's technology expansion. I needed the dates because I don't want to screw things up. This is a project that will take many years, but if I get my 3D education this year then I'll be starting on graphics much faster.
