In the Final Fantasy VII series calendars can be encountered in various places. Dates are represented by 2 sets of Greek alphabet symbols with “[ v ]” sometimes replaced by “[ µ ]”. The reason for that is simple, at some point in the FF7 world history, there is a transition between the eras, marked by “[ µ ] 2000” to “[ v ] 0001” change. It appears to align with the official announcement of the Wutai War ending in February of [ v ] 0001 according to the Final Fantasy VII timeline.
