Title: 2 months until...
Post by: Minister Polarius on February 08, 2012, 02:06:02 AM: Xenoblade! I can barely contain my excitement! Between this, The Hobbit and the final Wheel of Time book, 2012 is going to be superb! Anyone else excited for the best JRPG ever to be available in the US?

They didn't account for leap years. The world should have ended last October.

Source? I've heard this kicking around, and haven't seen anything other than a badly-taken screenshot on Facebook.

The game looks pretty tight though. I might pick it up.

Right. Two different calendar systems. It's like Imperial and Metric. Where's the source saying the people who converted 13.0.0.0.0 in Mayan to Julian forgot to account for leap years?
