    i dont know what you mean by most of that.

    once you've got the ragnorok (airship.) fly to the bottom left corner of the world map and somewhere around there you should find the DSRF.

    MMDD or DDDD, explaining when these things first happened. At least, that's the way it made the most sense to me.

    If you do not bring Zell and just bring Quistis you won't have to fight any monsters until you reach Ultima Weapon where you can switch party members before the fight.

    I think they're years, actually.

    A thousand year running time for a research facility is incredibly unlikely. A thousand year running time is unlikely for any building, really, much less one stuck out in the middle of the ocean.

    Not to say it's impossible, merely not parsimonious.

    It means first two digits represent month, second two days, or all four represent days.

    I think DDDD would make the most sense. A time period of 4242 days would be about 12 years, which is a reasonable time frame.

    FFVIII is very coy about providing absolute dates. You can map events relative to each other, but not to a year zero.

    A couple of years ago, I put together a timeline of major game events that had happened a specific number of years in the past of game time:

    (There are a few spoilers in here)

    FFVIII Timeline


    Years ago = y.a.
    Deep Sea Research Center = DSRC
    (Month/Day)

    ? y.a. Great Hyne creates life
    4000 y.a. Centra civilization founded
    ? y.a. Esthar founded
    ? y.a. Dollet Empire founded
    80 y.a. Centra cities destroyed by Lunar Cry
    44 y.a. (1/3) Laguna Loire born
    42 y.a. (2/25) Ward Zabac born
    40 y.a. (7/6) Kiros Seagill born
    18 (?) y.a. Horizon Bridge finished
    18 y.a. Julia Heartilly marries General Caraway
    18 y.a. Galbadia invades Timber
    18 y.a. (10/4) Quistis Trepe born
    18 y.a. (12/22) Seifer Almasy born
    17 y.a. Sorceress Wars ends
    17 y.a. Esthar closed
    17 y.a. Radio interference due to sealing Adel
    17 y.a. (3/3) Rinoa Heartilly born
    17 y.a. (3/17) Zell Dincht born
    17 y.a. (7/16) Selphie Tilmit born
    17 y.a. (8/23) Squall Leonhart born
    17 y.a. (11/24) Irvine Kinneas born
    12 y.a. Julia Heartilly dies
    12 y.a. Balamb Garden (a Centra shelter) founded
    12 y.a. Galbadia Garden founded
    12 y.a. Trabia Garden founded

    3015 DSRC found a strong energy field
    4127 Travel possible by underwater tower
    4141 DSRC named Deep Sea Deposit
    4242 DSRC sealed off Deep Sea Deposit

    I think i have figured it out!

    3015 Found a strong energy field (The day they find that place in the middle of the ocean)

    3 is the month
    01 is the date
    ???5 is the year

    4127 Travel by underwater tower (2 years later)

    4 is the month
    12 is the date
    ???7 is the year

    4141 Call this place Deep See Deposit (4 years later)

    4 is the month
    14 is the date
    ???5 is the year

    4242 Seal off Deep Sea Deposit (The day they abandon this place)

    4 is the month
    24 is the date
    ???2 is the year

    If that is true that means DSRF only running more or less 7 years before they left it.
    I think that explanation is the best way to describe the number,and it makes sense.
    If you go down to the facility to fight omega weapon it looks like there's many buildings in the way you go down.
    It looks like there used to be a city but sank in ocean by something.
    I think Squall need to find the right frequency to resonating to the rock.
    If the frequency is right Ultima Weapon can hear it then go to the source of the frequency and without any clear reason Ultima Weapon fights Squall.
    It the same with Omega Weapon, you have to ring the bell first to make Omega Weapon appears.

    Wouldn't it make more sense, if we're bringing years into it, to arrange it as YDDD? IE: Year 4, Day 242

    Any system that only displays the final digit of a year would be imprecise at best.
