(+) Yeah! (+)

Nier: Automata takes place in the year 5012.

Curious if there's anything out there that's even further away in distance from this.

Cheers. :)

WH40k I think.
Though Dune is pretty close (ranges from about 20k years in the future to 60k years)...which makes sense as 40K was the "tabletop version" of Dune in the same way that WH Fantasy was the "tabletop version" of LotR.

Do TV series count?

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:

Episode 5 (The Restaurant at the end of the Universe) is based in:
5377080AD(ish).

The year 5,377,080 AD(ish)?

Whoa.

Intense.

I don't recall, did they state how far in the future the end of time in chrono trigger is? Although I suppose that's not our earth.

Yeah, I think it's based in the 1980s, and the Robot (Marvin) has been waiting for them for 5376000 million years, at the Restaurant -- actually that should be 5376000001980AD, my apologies (didn't remember it was 537600 million years, just remembered the 5376000).

I thought the 40K in Warhammer stood for how many of the versions to that game was released. *lol*

Had no idea is was the setting year it took place in.
