Sorry for the W-post but I found some new info...

So I finally got a hold of the Unofficial Prima guide to do some comparison to the other timeline I found. They are similar and different. I don't have a scanner I'm afraid so the best I can do is just type out my findings. The dates start from year 1000 and then go backwards to the year 0

1000 - The War of the Magi ends

980 - According to official Doma records, the war is lost.

735 - A conference for world peace convenes and the first constitution is drafted

685 - The Empire becomes an independent military power

600 - Doma samurai sign on with many factions as mercenary soldiers

308 - The Industrial Movement and the Renaissance begin.

202 - Figaro Castle is completed in the north country

199 - Narshe is formed after the discovery of a huge mineral source inspires a kind of "gold rush" frenzy

115 - Narshe establishes special political and commercial relations with other powers

84 - Figaro becomes even more dependent on the use of machines as the core of its society

72 - Agustra becomes the heir to the National Security Council

59 - The Empire undergoes a massive coup, orchestrated by Agustra's father

20 - Agustra's charismatic powers enable him to ascend to the Emperor's throne at age 52

18 - The first inventions by the Empire lead to the capture of the southern countries. The Magical Research Institute is formed.

12 - In response to a study from the Magical Research Institute, Kefka leads a major reorganization of the Empire

8 - Kefka introduces a prototype of magical armor and builds a second invasion around its powers. South Figaro captured (yeah I don't get that one either...)

7 - Edgar's father, the king of Figari, passes away and Edgar assumes the throne.

3 - Skirmishes between Doma and the Empire begin

2 - The Empire invades eastern Doma

0 - Frozen Espers are discovered in the depths of a Narshe coal mine.

Outside of a few errors in events and a few omitted references such as the founding of Doma in 1200, or Figaro's disastrous submerging event in 72 and its final success in 68. The timelines actually match up with the one I found earlier. Granted the Prima one has a few errors that may be in due to translation issues. The South Figaro being captured by the Empire in the Prima timeline is obviously wrong but the other timeline mentions that there is a riot in South Figaro instead due to the alliance made between Figaro and the Empire.

The whole thing sounds pretty good and it would be great to learn if this timeline is actually true and not some fan made BS.
