Time line of the game

Has anyone ever figured out roughly how much time passes in the game. I mean like in days, weeks etc.


I know the abilties of the PS1 made the world map big, but not compared to todays stanards. But I'n reality between towns would be Huge distances that make take days to get between in reality.


I know when Barret and Tifa are in Junon he says something like a week has passed and Weapon is flying about.


Like FFX gives the idea of time passing due to certain scenes at night etc.


If a remake was done I'd like scenes to be incorperated into the original script to show time passing or having to rest over night at places. Rather than just the INN music.

The 10th Anniversary Ultimania suggests about a year. In addition there are several individual time lines for each character as well. Of course, the time line expands even more in other installments Complete Timeline of the Compilation of FFVII The rest of the site is good reading.

No, Psychomaze, the 10th Ani Ulti suggests about a month and a half.
It begins on December 9th, and ends sometime in the latter third of January.

It's also worth pointing out, though, that the full timeline is not as precise as it could be. It, for example, says that Cloud was found on Dec9, but Cloud's own timeline states he was found much closer to Zack's demise.

I'd of thought longer TBH, as Cloud gets so close to Aeris. Why would he give such a shit if he only knew her a month.

Less than a month, actually, but everyone gets close to her in that time, and everyone gives a shit, because she's a comrade in arms. Quite a lot of the party reacted the same to Leo's death in FFVI, and Luneth the same to the death of the shrine maiden and Desch in 3DS, etc. etc.
Now Krile's reaction to Galuf's death is an emotional reaction for someone you've known for ages.
